Tropical Photography Encompassed

While many of us are buttoned up tight in our homes in the middle of winter, the world’s tropical regions are warm, languid and bursting with life…just waiting for you and your camera! Wrapping the globe in a belt between the Tropic of Cancer at 23.5 degrees north latitude and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5 degrees south latitude, these are inviting climes for nature travelers. Whether you have plans for a tropical trip later this year, or you’re simply yearning to travel virtually via images of lush rain forests and ocean-kissed beaches, this webinar will inform, entice and inspire you. Join Court Whelan for an overview of all things related to photography in the tropics, which can pose a special set of challenges (and rewards!). Learn how to best photograph animals in scenarios common to the tropics such as backlit conditions and dense jungle foliage. Get a crash course in the joys of macro photography as you encounter “life in the undergrowth,” and learn gear tips to keep your camera in tip-top working order in humid environments.
