St. Augustine Alligator Farm Photographic Instructional Workshop, May 1, 2, 3 & 4, 2008.

Join award-winning nature and avian photographers Robert Amoruso and Robert O’Toole for an exciting and informative Photographic Instructional Workshop at one of the most unique avian photography locations in Florida, the St. Augustine Alligator Farm’s avian breeding rookery.

The St. Augustine Alligator Farm and Zoological Park is a one-of-a-kind attraction in Florida. A member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, the park’s staff and programs have one thing in mind, the welfare of the animals and a conservation theme throughout the park. However, our concentration at the park will be at the Alligator swamp exhibit and the natural bird rookery that developed there. The swamp – a natural wetlands covering approximately two acres – has an extensive boardwalk allowing us unencumbered access to the nesting birds. During nesting season you’ll see Wood Storks, Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets, Tri-colored Herons, Little Blue Herons and Cattle Egrets. Ibises and Roseate Spoonbills are consistently seen roosting in the swamp though they do not nest there at present.

The Farm is also one of the best places to teach participants about fill-flash and flash as main light due to the proximity of the birds and their behavioral predictability. The image at left was created using flash as main light. The egret was in full shade but a judicious use of flash illuminated the bird, filled in the shadows and accentuated the details in the feathers.
