In her presentation, Kristi will discuss things related to bird and wildlife photography, from lenses to camera choices, autofocus settings, getting great shots, and how to do it ethically. She will talk about gear, behavior (the wildlife as well as our own), and respect. For instance, how close is too close? How do you know if a bird or wild animal is disturbed by human presence or activity?
