The Practical Nature Photography Classroom

For birdwatchers and botanists, for biologists and naturalists of any kind, this online photography seminar, Practical Nature Photography, is exclusively for Chasing Nature’s paid subscribers. This page is our seminar classroom, where you’ll find video lectures and readings.

If you’re coming late to this seminar, fear not: these pre-recorded lectures are basically timeless; you can view them whenever and as often as you’d like.

As I mention in the video prologue above, this course is a bit of an experiment. I normally teach it in person. So you’ll only see the slide presentation content I usually include in the course — you won’t be seeing me with cameras in nature.

Even so, no matter what you own for a camera (including those of you with DSLRs or mirrorless gear), the concepts in this seminar are universal. They come together in five lectures, each about 60-minutes, which you will be able to view whenever you like and as often as necessary. So, onward to the lectures, the first three of which are below.

Thanks for reading Chasing Nature and for supporting my writing as a paying subscriber. This course is but one expression of my gratitude.
