			JANUARY ECUADOR: HUMMINGBIRDS AND SO MUCH MORE...TROPICAL BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY AT ITS BEST! Imagine a country that is roughly the size of Colorado and supports over 1,600 species of tropical birds - over 100 of which are hummingbirds, 4000 species of intricate orchids, hundreds of species of colourful frogs, dozens of species of primates and countless species of fascinating insects.  Imagine a country where you can visit pristine cloud-forests, beautiful beaches, snow capped mountains, and remote areas of the Amazon rainforest.  Imagine that this country has relatively good roads, a well equipped tourism infrastructure, a stable government, and can be reached in less than 8 hours from most of North America.  Join us for this Ecuador photography workshop and you can stop imagining, reach for your camera, and start photographing the unbelievable biological riches of this incredible South American country.

CUSTOM WORKSHOPS...
		"ONE-ON-ONE" FIELD WORKSHOPS WITH GLENN BARTLEY Interested in visiting Vancouver Island for a one-on-one workshop or as a small group? Want to enhance your post processing skills in Adobe Photoshop? Contact Glenn Bartley and we will arrange for a private shoot and/or digital workshop.
		ADOBE PHOTOSHOP WORKSHOPS WITH GLENN BARTLEY Digital photography has opened up a whole new realm of possibilities for nature photographers, made learning, while out in the field, much more intuitive, and in my opinion, made photography a lot more enjoyable.  The ability to take hundreds, if not thousands, of images in a single day has certainly increased the potential for capturing a pleasing image.  However, for many photographers the digital darkroom is still a somewhat scary place. Sorting through gigabytes of images, figuring out which software programs to use and trying to establish a digital workflow can be daunting tasks. If this sounds familiar to you – then join Glenn Bartley for a custom digital workshop!
