TBCC invites all members to attend a Zoom Education Night on June 25, 2026, featuring a special presentation by photographer Ray Hennessy.

Presentation Summary

Wide Angle Wildlife Photography:

Combining landscape and wildlife photography can be a challenging endeavor, but when executed successfully, it can result in captivating and immersive wildlife photographs. Ray will guide you through the process of finding wildlife that allows for close-up shots with shorter focal lengths, all while maintaining respect and not disturbing your subjects. Ray will also delve into his approach to utilizing wide-angle lenses, ensuring that your subject remains the star of the photo. He will discuss his thoughts on incorporating extensive habitat into your photos and how to seamlessly integrate it into the final composition. From capturing wide-angle birds in flight to photographing curious wildlife that approaches, Ray will share his techniques for effectively capturing wide-angle wildlife in a compelling manner, utilizing 50mm to 10mm focal lengths

Ray’s Bio

Starting in 2007, my fascination with wildlife photography started as a passionate hobby that eventually transformed into my full-time career. Since 2020, I’ve embraced a nomadic lifestyle, living in a van and traveling across the United States and Canada to capture breathtaking natural landscapes and wildlife. My focus lies in using creative lighting and captivating compositions to create unique images of the animals I encounter.

Lucky enough to visit countless awe-inspiring locations, I strive to incorporate my signature style of wildlife photography by capturing more scenic images that showcase the habitats where these animals live. Beyond capturing photos, I also enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with aspiring photographers. I’ve had the privilege of working with students both in-person and remotely from various parts of the world, guiding them and accelerating their techniques and artistic refinement.

Every workshop I lead is an opportunity for me to share my expertise and help others grow their wildlife photography skills. I hope that my guidance and mentorship leave a lasting impact on each participant, inspiring them to pursue their passion and capture the beauty of the natural world through their lens.
