Wildlife Photography Workshop with Connor Stefanison

Leave a Reply

This event at Piper Spit is organized by the City of Burnaby as part of Environment Week but thought it could be of interest to the Burnaby Lake Regional Park Community. 6:30 PM to just after sunset (9:30 PM), meet at Piper Spit boardwalk, Burnaby Lake Regional Park (end of Piper Avenue, off Winston Street)

What to bring: camera, long and short lenses (or whatever you have), flash (optional), tripod (optional), bird seed (optional), appropriate clothing for the weather

This workshop offers tips and advice for aspiring nature and wildlife photographers of all interest and experience levels. Participants learn the basics of creating pleasing wildlife images by focusing on aspects such as composition, lighting, lens selection, and creative techniques.

Connor Stefanison is a Burnaby based wildlife photographer of considerable renown. He is a recent recipient of an international portfolio award given to wildlife photographers between the ages of 18 to 25 years in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards. The awarded images are part of a world-touring exhibition that includes Victoria’s Royal BC Museum. 

City of Burnaby Environment Festival

The City of Burnaby kicks off Environment Week (Saturday, May 28 to Sunday, June 12) with this Annual Festival at City Hall.

This is a free public event with environmental displays, live blue grass music by 5 on a String, prize draws, face painting, tours of the nearby Great Blue Heron colony, and many other activities for kids. The weekly Burnaby Farmers Market is nearby in the north parking lot. Plan to attend both events! Prize draws at the Environment Festival will include Farmers Market dollars that can be spent the same day!

We’ll be there with our display to show our activities  and information about the park. We have 2 scheduled Weedbusters during the week:  Sunday, June 5 and Sunday, June 12.
