They liked the program so much that they invited us back for a reprise.  This event is being generously co-sponsored by Manfrotto and Canon USA. <\/p>\n<p>Professional nature photographers Denise Ippolito and Arthur Morris co-authored the hugely popular eBook, <a href=\"https:\/\/store.birdsasart.com\/shop\/item.aspx?itemid=298\">\u201cA Guide to Pleasing Blurs\u201d<\/a>.  Their program will cover the great variety of techniques that can be used to create pleasingly blurred images, mostly in-camera in the field, and at times, during post-processing. Topics that will be discussed and illustrated include pan blurs, vertical pan blurs, zoom blurs, camera movement blurs including flame and jiggles, flash blurs, subject movement blurs including moving water blurs, long exposure blurs, the need for accurate focusing, managing your ISO settings, in-camera multiple exposures, subject to film plane orientation, the role of neutral density and polarizing filters when creating pleasing blurs, choice of shutter speeds, and how subject to sensor distance affects the degree of blurring. <\/p>\n<p>With the advent of digital photography and the popularity of intentionally blurred images in prestigious nature photography competitions, more and more people are enjoying the challenges and rewards of creating pleasing blurs. Whether you photograph wildlife, flowers, people, street scenes, or landscapes, this is one program that you will not want to miss if you would like to unleash your creativity.

This event is being generously sponsored by Canon USA. <\/p>\n<p>In this practical and educational slide program we will learn which Canon lenses\u2014from the 8-15mm fish eye up to the 800mm f\/5.6 L IS, that Artie uses to create his amazing images, how, why, and when he uses each of them, and what he is thinking as he depresses the shutter button. Most folks will be surprised to learn that a long lens with a teleconverter is often not the best tool for the job. In addition Artie will comment on exposure and image design.<\/p>\n<h3>EOS-5D Mark III User&#8217;s Guide<\/h3>\n<p>With the wreck of my EOS-1D X (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birdsasart-blog.com\/baa\/2012\/11\/13\/wrecked-and-loving-it\/\">&#8220;Wrecked. And Loving It&#8221;<\/a> for complete details), I went to my 5D Mark III as my workhorse camera body.  It performed flawlessly surviving some heavy drizzle, sand, grit, and extensive use.  I used it almost exclusively for seabird flight photography from the ship. As I have said from the get-go, the 5D Mark III&#8217;s new AF system is superb.  <\/p>\n<p>You can learn everything about it including my custom case for flight photography, my favorite AF Area Selection Modes, how I use the great HDR and Multiple Exposure Features, and pretty much everything that I know about this great lightweight camera <a href=\"https:\/\/store.birdsasart.com\/shop\/item.aspx?itemid=347\">here<\/a>.
