The series includes five afternoon workshops and four full days of guided field trips. \nThe workshop begins Thursday\, September 24\, from 4:00– 6:00 p.m. with a session covering composition\, camera settings\, and tec hniques for photographing perched birds and birds in flight. Following Fri day’s field trip\, participants will upload photographs to a computer or external hard drive\, efficiently review and select images\, and prepare files for processing. The session will also include further discussion of bird photography strategies. \nAfter Saturday’s field trip\, participant s will process photographs in Adobe Lightroom. While Lightroom will be use d for demonstrations\, the concepts will apply to most photo-editing progr ams. Sunday’s field trip will be followed by a hands-on editing session\ , with experienced photographers available to offer assistance and suggest ions. The workshop will conclude on Monday with a final field trip and an informal presentation of photographs taken by participants during the week \, followed by a question-and-answer period. \nThe workshop is camera-\, computer-\, and software-agnostic. Presenter Marty Karlin will demonstrate techniques using a Nikon camera\, Mac computer\, and Lightroom\, but KBO associates familiar with a variety of camera brands\, computer platforms\, and editing programs will also be available to assist. \nParticipants sho uld have some photography experience and a basic understanding of camera s ettings\, including ISO\, shutter speed\, aperture\, and\, ideally\, expos ure compensation. Please bring your camera to Thursday’s workshop. For t he remaining sessions\, participants with photo-processing software are en couraged to bring a fully charged laptop\, mouse\, card reader\, and/or ex ternal hard drive. Please make sure all equipment is fully charged before each session. \nParticipants without a laptop or editing software are stil l welcome to attend. You may sit with another participant or follow along with the instructor’s presentation. Marty will also assign a small amoun t of pre-workshop homework to help everyone prepare. \nFor the field trips \, bring your camera\, your longest lens\, and a teleconverter if you have one. A lens of 500mm or longer is highly recommended for bird photography . Participants who do not own a long lens may want to consider renting equ ipment through Lensrentals or other rental options. \nParticipants will be divided into two or three field groups\, depending on enrollment. Each gr oup will have a birding guide and photography consultant and will visit a different location each day. Over the four field days\, participants will explore several birding hotspots in Jackson and Klamath counties\, with an emphasis on finding good opportunities to observe and photograph birds at a respectful distance. \nGroups will remain in communication throughout t he day so that unusual or exciting sightings can be shared. Many participa nts are accomplished birders and photographers who are eager to share thei r knowledge and experience. Bird photography takes a village\, and we have one. \nParticipants should bring their own lunches\, beverages\, and snac ks for each field day. \nBird Photography Workshop 5-Day Syllabus\nWorksho p details:\nSeptember 24–28\, 2026 \n\n\n\nDate\nTime\nDaily Focus\n\n\n \n\nThursday\, September 24\n4:00–6:00 p.m.\nLearn camera settings and p ractical techniques for photographing bird portraits and birds in flight.\ n\n\nFriday\, September 25\n8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.\nGuided field trip with opportunities to practice composition\, camera settings\, and field techni ques.\n\n\n\n4:00–6:00 p.m.\nUpload\, organize\, select\, and prepare ph otographs for processing.\n\n\nSaturday\, September 26\n8:00 a.m.–3:00 p .m.\nGuided field trip to continue practicing bird photography techniques in the field.\n\n\n\n4:00–6:00 p.m.\nIntroduction to processing and edit ing photographs in Lightroom.\n\n\nSunday\, September 27\n8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.\nGuided field trip focused on building skills and capturing images f or the afternoon work session.\n\n\n\n4:00–6:00 p.m.\nParticipant proces sing session with time to edit photographs and receive assistance.\n\n\nMo nday\, September 28\n8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.\nFinal guided field trip and op portunity to put the week’s lessons into practice.\n\n\n\n4:00–6:00 p. m.\nParticipant presentations featuring selected photographs from the work shop.\n\n\n\nPlease note: Some field trips may begin as early as 6:00 a. m.\, including potential outings to photograph Great Gray Owls or visit lo cations in Klamath County.

He started teaching in the 1960s\, a nd used technology extensively in the classroom since the 1980s. He taught in the education department at St Mary’s College in California during t he 1980s. His latest paid gig was as Coordinator of Instructional Technolo gy at Southern Oregon ESD. These days\, and for the past 20 years you can find him with Terry\, his better half\, behind a camera\, out in the field somewhere where she’s the brains and he the tool. The primary purpose o f his photography has been to document the photographically cooperative bi rds they have seen. Incorporating artistic aspects into those pictures has become a natural extension.
