Join us for a U of M Raptor Center event at National Camera Exchange, sponsored by Tamron. A skilled handler from the U of M will bring four different raptor species for an in-person presentation, covering what makes a bird a raptor and the traits that distinguish each species. You’ll get a close-up opportunity to observe and photograph these birds of prey. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or a beginner, this is a great opportunity to make the most of your long lenses and practice photographing these captivating subjects.
NCE photo experts will be on-site to guide you along the way. Tamron Rep Eric Sives and Tech Rep Armando Flores will also be on hand with loaner gear, so you can try different lenses and get advice on the best lens options for birding and wildlife photography.
