This workshop exceeded all my expectations tenfold. This was my third time in Costa Rica to photograph birds and I will be replacing almost every image I have with the ones I just acquired. To see so many species of birds and to capture them in full frame on amazing perches with sweet backgrounds was a fantasy come true. Juan Carlos has done an excellent job finding and picking locations in Costa Rica where a wonderful variety of birds can be seen and photographed under the most favorable conditions. The technical expertise and assistance provided to me on shooting in low light conditions and the proper use of flash helped immeasurably. Getting the most amazing images was definitely the highlight but the attentiveness Juan Carlos gave to my personal needs and comfort also greatly enhanced the whole experience. There were so many high points to this workshop but one that stands out for me was photographing the Resplendent Quetzal. This is “the bird” when I think of Costa Rica and to come home with great captures of it was the icing on the cake. I will definitely be back for another workshop and will be highly recommending your workshop to friends and others wishing to have a fantastic bird photography experience in Costa Rica.
