With today’s amazing photographic gear that includes camera bodies with surreal autofocus that can routinely produce superb image files in the right hands and fast, sharp lenses (including and especially the amazing super-telephotos) creating images of various birds, animals, flowers, and landscapes, is pretty much child’s play. Anyone can do it. In this program, Arthur Morris, internationally noted bird photographer and educator, will teach you to take your images to the next level. You will learn to identify good situations, to create pleasing backgrounds, to photograph action and behavior, to choose the best perspective, to read and use the light, when and how to create pleasing blurs, and to consistently create dramatic, evocative images with contest-winning potential.
This program is well-illustrated with several hundred of Artie’s spectacular images, many published around the world above his most fitting credit line: BIRDS AS ART.

I don't want to watch a video on nature photography set in a classroom I want to watch Doug Gardner out there on Natural History Channel.
Perfect illustration of the difference between a great photographer and great presenter…one does not denote the other
I watch these to fall asleep lol
Don't really understand all the comments about how this is a slideshow and not a guide, beyond talking about composition, exposure, and mood there is very little ways to describe art verbally without showing it. Try describing a Pollock or a Warhol without the actually imagery and the magic is lost.
It isn't raging if you can do it. Great work
you have to mention apurcher, speed and iso then better
We need captions/subtitles on these videos. Thanks.
Your pictures, Arthur, are truly remarkable. You capture the essence of these amazing birds with your photos. Much respect.
I clicked on the link for his blog, but the link doesn't work in Chrome or Firefox.
Love this fella!!
This is a genius with the camera, ok so he embellishes a little– but with his credentials- why not? I think some of what Artie is saying is: This worked for me, and it will work for you too. I got a lot out of this particularly about "seeing the picture before it happens" (as he explained with the backlit lamas). He said to come back in a couple of hours.he had a vision of what the Lamas would look like, backlit against the sun, on a hill. This is the thread I have found amongst all the greats- Know your gear, set it up for light and scene- and follow your composure or instinct, creativity, inspiration; or whatever word you wish to use. BTW this is where the art comes into play. Artie – keep rockin'.
You are making money off the birds…the Audubon people are doing vital research to understand their needs long-term…there is a huge difference here. Plus, everyone is beginning to have great cameras, and crowds of people all want photos like yours. If the nestlings are disturbed, then no birds. Your righteous statements surprise me…don't you want the birds there in the future? Why would any wildlife photographer, who is conveying the beauty of these animals to the world want to jeopardize even one. I am not a rabid animal rights person, but someone who grew up in the Everglades…the drop in bird numbers is precipitous. Pointing a finger at someone else when there is something you could do to diminish disruption is astonishing in itself. Passing on this lack of values is even more so.
If you want to see his work, this is it but you learn nothing for your next shoot.
From these classes it sounds like his trips are to get you a decent shot opportunity but stay here and shut up so I can go in close and get the better shot . Seems like it should be let me help you get a better shot than I got today .
I couldn't get past the first 10 minutes of this video. As I got bored with you talking about yourself,and how good you are.
Love this talk. Thank you, Mr. Morris
I love Arties photos, I've watched a lot of his videos and learned a lot, so thank you! One question, when he says high ISO what do you think he's at? 1k+?
Inspirational
You know Artie…I think that in your long and successful career you missed the biggest lesson of them all: There is no greatness without modesty.
Arthur Morris GOAT, a true visionary and absolute legend. all ways a pleasure coming back to watch these events. outstanding amount of knowledge one must take from him.
This is great for people who have plenty of money.
Can anybody earn so much money with birding these days even to can afford the in this video mentioned insanely expensive lenses?
