Eastside Audubon will offer a class on Introduction to Bird Photography from 10 to noon May 5 at Omega Photo in Bellevue. Attendees will learn how to anticipate exciting shots, choose the right camera settings for a variety of lighting and shooting situations, and make the most of the features of their digital SLR to create photographs that will delight you.

Eastside Audubon photographers Larry Engles and Dan Streiffert will share their gear tips and favorite places to take photographs of birds, plus give advice about photographing birds in people’s own back yard.

Omega Photo, the class sponsor, will donate half of each $30 registration fee to Eastside Audubon in support of Birdathon, the nonprofit’s May fundraising campaign.

Introduction to Bird Photography is best for users of digital single-lens reflex cameras and photographers thinking about using DLSRs to take pictures of birds.

Omega is located at 210 105th Ave. NE, Bellevue. To register, phone 425-455-2126.
