October 22nd, 2022 Photography Workshop with Steve Gettle: Birds of Prey
Birds of Prey
Steve Gettle will present an engaging and informative photography lecture at the start of the day. At the conclusion of his talk, a buffet lunch will be served.
Each year, the Howell Nature Center rehabilitates and releases thousands of injured or orphaned animals back into the wild. These fundraisers are vital to our operations! The Birds of Prey photo shoots are our second largest fundraiser. The Howell Nature Center receives 100% of all funds generated by this event and all proceeds go directly to wildlife.
After lunch, we head into the field for our up close and personal experience with amazing photo opportunities with several birds of prey. World-class and widely published photograpers Steve Gettle, Nicole Sudduth, and Doug Locke are on hand to answer photography questions and help out in the field. All of the wildlife models at the shoot are unable to be released back into the wild for one reason or another. When they are not modeling for our cameras, the birds reside in our wildlife park acting as ambassadors to educate the public about raptors.
