You must shoot me an <a href=\"mailto:samandmayasgrandpa@att.net\">e-mail<\/a> tonight. I will either respond tonight or by 6:30am tomorrow. We meet at 7am at the early morning entrance at the south end of the string of parking lots \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n<h3>Gatorland In-the Field Instructional Meet-Up<\/h3>\n<p>Join me in Kissimmee, FL as below, to photograph Great (with chicks in the nest) and Snowy Egrets in breeding plumage, Wood Stork, American Alligator (captive), and more. Tricolored Heron likely. We should get to make lots of head portraits of all the bird species and to photograph them building nests, displaying, copulating, and flying. Learn to see, find, and make the shot in cluttered settings. Learn exposure and how to handle WHITEs. Learn fill flash and flash as main light.  All of the birds are free and wild.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>This Weekend&#8217;s Schedule<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Saturday morning (early entry): 7:30 till 10am: $100. Lunch and Image Review: $75 additional.<br \/>\nSaturday afternoon till closing (late stay): $100.<br \/>\nSunday morning (early entry): 7:30 till 10am: $100.<\/p>\n<p>There will be lots of instruction as there is only a single sign-up for SAT.
