What to expect:
Want to learn about film photography? Want to learn about birds? In partnership with Chicago Bird Alliance, participants will learn how to use analog photography as a tool to slow down, reflect, and learn about birds, their habitat, and birding in Chicago. No experience with birding or photography is necessary.
After an introduction to birding and the fundamentals of photography, covering basic camera use and fully manual exposure settings with a focus on photographing birds and their habitat in the first session, we’ll visit Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary for the second session. Each participant will receive one roll of color film for the trip, which LATITUDE will then develop and make 4x6 prints of. In the third session, we'll look through the prints together and discuss the experience and what the photographs can teach us.
Participants should ideally have a fully functioning 35mm film camera and lens with the ability for fully manual settings (aperture, shutter speed, and ISO). We do not have cameras to loan out, but if you don’t have a camera and would still like to join, or have any questions about if your camera will work, please reach out and let us know before registering. No specialized wildlife gear is required; the workshop is focused on photography as a means of being present and learning.
The workshop fee includes a donation to Chicago Bird Alliance, one 36 exposure roll of 35mm color film, film processing, small enhanced Minilab scanning, and 4x6 prints of the full roll.
