Light – Shadow – Action – Background | Field Workshop**
Kevin Loughlin was raised to appreciate nature while exploring the woodlands
of Pennsylvania. At age six, during a family trip through the American West,
Kevin became fascinated with photography as well seeing the new and different
birds throughout North America. Instilled with a love for travel and seeking new,
exciting destinations he felt a desire to share his experiences with others and in
1993 he created Wildside Nature Tours.
Kevin’s photographs and articles have appeared in publications such as Nature
Photographer, WildBird, Audubon and Birding and Living Bird Magazines, as well
as the many natural history books including more than a dozen in the recent
“Peterson’s Reference Guide to Owls of North America and the Caribbean.” His
latest project in progress is a book about the Galapagos Islands.

So many photos of birds are just that, a photo of a bird. The rules of exposure
and composition are important, but breaking them ‘properly’ can add the wow
factor your images deserve! Take your bird photography to the next level and
create artistic compositions by paying attention to light, detail and especially
backgrounds. Suggested Gear List: DSLR (Full or cropped sensor), 70-200mm mid-
zoom lens, 300mm or longer lens, and Tripod
