Wildlife Photography Workshop

  Sponsored by Tamron

The Camera Company and Tamron welcome you to take part in our expedition to Wisconsin's wildest zoo.

Join us for an engaging wildlife photography seminar where we explore the tools and techniques needed to create compelling images of the natural world. We'll cover how to get the most out of your camera settings in the field, the importance of researching animal behavior and habitats, and learn how to build thoughtful compositions that go beyond snapshots. Whether you're photographing birds, mammals, or insects, this class will help elevate your approach and results.
