Ohio Site Guide

I produced this guide with Arthur Morris/Birds as Art for bird photographers wishing to maximise their photo opportunities in Ohio and learn what took me years to discover in only a couple hours. It covers where to go, when, what to look for, and how best to photograph it. Designed to be the next best thing to actually taking a workshop with me, you can find out more and purchase the full PDF by visiting the Birds as Art website. The 2010 addition has two added sites, fully updated text, photos, and maps, and new design. The guide covers 11 sites plus brief chapters on technique, overview, Ohio's backyard birds, and other locations.

Michigan Site Guide

Whether you are seeking to photograph tame Common Loons, majestic winter owls, or find extensive forests with unique warblers and songbirds, Matthew Studebaker takes the reader through the best and most productive bird photography areas in Michigan. Both Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas are included with original maps for each chapter, highlighting key areas of interest. Every chapter has a list of the most likely species to be found, what time of year to visit, where to shoot, basic techniques for each area, and more. Popular photography areas covered include Nettie Bay and vicinity for Loons and songbirds, winter hotspots in the Upper Peninsula, Kellogg Bird Sanctuary for tame waterfowl, and Pointe Mouillee for hundreds of migrating shorebirds in the fall. A list of useful web links and up to the minute birding reports is included as well, providing the photographer everything they need to start planning their Michigan photo outing in any season.
