This workshop will teach you everything you need to know to photograph butterflies and dragonflies. Located at leader Richard Day’s home in south central Illinois, you’ll have incredible opportunities to photograph many different species of butterflies and dragonflies. He and his wife Susan have created a wildlife sanctuary on 60 acres that includes a 3-acre yard landscaped to attract backyard wildlife including several butterfly gardens, a 5-acre native grass and wildflower prairie, and an 8-acre shallow water wetland. They are backyard wildlife specialists and most of the images they sell are taken on their property—which has attracted more than 65 species of butterflies and 25 species of dragonflies. This workshop is timed when the most species are flying. Instruction will include basic flash and the fundamentals of butterfly and dragonfly photography as well as critiques (of digital images) of work done on site. Richard will provide individual one-on-one instruction in the field. Butterfly photography will be of free-flying species on the property—not studio shots. This one-of-a-kind workshop also offers plenty of photo ops in the Day’s beautiful flower gardens. These gardens are one of the favorite places that the University of Illinois uses to study butterfly and dragonfly species and activities.
