This Spring, April 30-May 3, Sean Fitzgerald will be offering a 4-day photography
seminar. This is an opportunity for you to work closely and share tips
with one of Texas’ premiere wildlife photographers. A limit of eight
people will allow Sean to keep it a very personalized experience and
offer better opportunities in the field. Some of the highlights planned
include: Critique of existing work, classroom presentations (on artistry,
photo technique, and how to shoot digitally), and in-the-field
shooting. You will learn to process your images in Adobe Camera Raw,
edit them in Photoshop, and learn to manage and archive your digital
images. |
|
Attendees will be using the ranch’s custom, in-ground blinds which offer
a unique eye-level experience with wildlife. These blinds are located
in several very different areas, so you should manage to take an
assortment of photos. The blinds are completely enclosed and provide
ease and comfort for the photographer. |
|
Cost is $675. Included in the price are a simple lunch and snacks and
refreshments every day. Seminar attendees will also receive a
certificate for 1 free day of shooting on the Fennessey Ranch ($100
value) and one free 12 x 18 print taken and printed during the seminar.
A complete itinerary and recommendations for accommodations will be
supplied with confirmation. |

of Sean Fitzgerald’s wining photographs are featured on our web site.

Safari~
- April 11, 2009 -
Today's affordable, high-quality
digital cameras allow anyone to take amazing photos. With that
thought in mind, we are offering the opportunity to spend a day
exploring the unique wildlife habitat that the Fennessey Ranch has to
offer. Work on your macro skills with the abundance of spring
wildflowers and colorful insects. Take advantage of the lush
spring growth for fantastic landscapes. Aboard the Pinzgauers,
we'll head off to the most remote parts of the ranch. Stops will
be made to take advantage of photo ops. Our plentiful armadillos,
with the vision of Mr. Magoo, are good subjects to practice on.
They will stand on their hind legs, squinting and scenting, ascertaining
whether the perceived danger is sufficient to send them bouncing home to
their burrows.

Blind Day Rentals~

We have built three permanent photo
blinds to capture eye-level shots of birds and animals in their natural
environment. These strategically-placed blinds offer the prospect of
getting that once-in-a-lifetime shot. All blinds are dry, comfortable
and camouflaged. These blinds were designed by Sean Fitzgerald to meet
his needs during the photo contests. The $100 per day fee allows the
use of all blinds. So pack your equipment and lunch and start
snapping. Reservations required.
Look at what
one of our visitors has to say...
"Went to the Fennessey
today and took some shots of various critters....the Artesian Blind was
very active so I was able to get images of a variety of birdies and
critters doing what they do best....EAT" .....Sylvia
Here are some great shots
taken from our photo blinds!
