    I loved the class! Andres was very knowledgeable and also very well prepared. Before we started, he gave me a brief overview of what the day would look like and what our route would be. Our technical starting point was at my skill level. Through his instruction, I was able to practice manual focus and panning as well as learn a few things I didn?t know about my own camera. I was able to go home with some really great pictures of NYC and the people and characters on the street. I highly recommend both the workshop and the instructor.

    I was looking for Whimbrels, or other migratory shore birds when I spotted this common tern flying around. At some point it dove and caught a fish. I instinctively aimed my camera and took a few pictures before flying away.

    Steam was really enshrouding the main pool of Grand Prismatic, so I looked for other compelling ways to capture images. This image features some of the sinter terraces and cooler water thermophiles thriving around the central pool perimeter.
