A black-chinned hummingbird from last year's workshop.

Hello Reader,

Last year, I led a fantastic photo workshop alongside Aaron Baggenstos to photograph the beautiful hummingbirds of British Columbia.

We stayed in a beautiful mountain lodge, ate great food, made new friends, and shot thousands and thousands of photos.

It was such a blast that we're doing it again in June, and we still have a couple of spaces available.

A stunning male calliope hummingbird from last year's workshop.

Here's an example of one of my multi-flash shots from last year: I used four flashes to reveal this calliope's incredible color.

Another multi-flash shot of Canada's smallest hummingbird. Believe it or not, this beautiful creature weighs just 3g (0.11 oz)

During the workshop, you can photograph three of Canada's hummingbirds: Rufous, black-chinned, and calliope.

We spend time photographing them using natural light and multi-flash setups that produce the incredible results you see above.

Don't worry! We provide all the flash gear and instruction you need. You don't need any experience photographing with flashes, or even bird photography for that matter.

Click here for all the details. I'd love to see you there and teach you all my tricks!

Cheers,

Dan

Sony 300mm f/2.8 = 1.4x Teleconverter Hello Reader, I have owned the Sony 300mm f/2.8 GM lens for around 12 months. It sits on my shelf amongst my other Sony, Canon, Nikon, and Fujifilm lenses, giving me a great perspective on its performance. This is a lens designed for sports and wildlife photographers. And yet, nobody would say 300mm is enough focal length for serious shooting of either genre. Why the dichotomy? Focal length flexibility is the key. With teleconverters, you have: 300mm...

Peak Design's new roller bag is here

Hello Reader, Peak Design has been one of my go-to brands for camera-carrying solutions in the past decade or so. I have reviewed every bag they've ever made. Backpacks, camera straps, and sling bags have always been their thing, but many people wondered if they'd ever create a carry-on roller. Today is that day. The new Roller Pro uses an ultra-slim carbon telescoping handle to minimize intrusion into the bag's main compartment, and a new made-to-fit XL Camera Cube allows photographers to...
