Read MoreI've been doing bird photography for many years and gotten many good images, but there have been times when I've missed opportunities in situations that I'll now recognize, understand and be better prepared to capture what I see using some of the settings and techniques shown in this detailed and interesting course. The real world in the field photo examples that Tim uses makes it easier to understand how applying a setting or technique positively affects getting the results you want in specific situations, such as shooting in low light without blowing out the highlights by adjusting exposure settings rather than ISO. I'm looking forward to trying Tim's expert tips and methods and hopefully taking my bird photography to a higher level.

At this point I am not sure if I am more enamored with Tim the photographer or Tim the presenter. It takes real talent to be able to distill this much information into such an exceptional presentation.

Also, ways to think about a subject and get an interesting shot when it is not immediately obvious. It would have been even more helpful if the review slides at the end of each lesson could be saved.

Read MoreI very much enjoyed the overview presentation of photographic techniques and Tim’s thought process in creating his wonderful images. The course showed how great wildlife photography requires not only knowing and understanding your camera, but also understanding the importance of seeing and the art of photography. The course also has motivated me to do more experimenting when out photographing wildlife. Thank you!

Read MoreThis is a great course that pushed me in thinking more about by bird photography...I can see how I will be able to increase my success rate...some of the techniques I have been applying since I started shooting with my Canon 20D close to 20 years ago when I had to worry about higher ISO noise do not make sense with today’s cameras...one of the first lessons I will apply is using smaller apertures to increase depth of field and shoot at higher ISO...I will be returning to review the course material on a regular basis in the future.
