Please join your fellow TBCC members for a Special Presentation Education Night on April 24th!

Tony Baldasaro, an amazing photographer and educator, I met through Out of Chicago, will be our instructor for the session.

Summary of Presentation

So, you have taken up Bird Photography!  Congratulations on choosing the most difficult subgenre of nature photography there is.  😕 Now, you’ve come home from a long day of photographing birds and have the daunting task of culling and processing cards full of images.  Where do you begin?  How do you select the images you are going to process, and how do you take an image from card to completion?  

This class will focus on the unique challenge of post-processing in bird photography, including the large number of images bird photographers have to manage, the reality of shooting with less-than-ideal settings, and most importantly, the mindset that post-processing begins when you leave the house, not when you return.   

Tony will share his mindset while shooting as well as his workflow for post-processing bird images using primarily Lightroom, Topaz, and Photoshop to create striking images.  

Tony’s Bio

As a native New Englander, I enjoy the natural beauty of landscapes and wildlife images. After studying Biology and Ornithology in college, I have spent the better part of 30 years in public education, doing my best to share my passion for the natural world and my unwavering belief that everyone can learn in public school settings. Combining my educator experience with more than 20 years of nature photography, I have found immense joy in helping others improve their own nature photography, specifically Landscape and Wild Bird Photography. Through one-on-one coaching, speaking, and workshop opportunities, I have helped others improve their craft since 2017. When not photographing or teaching, my wife and I split time between the seacoast and lake regions of New Hampshire. Together, we have three adult children with whom we love spending time.
