08:15am – 09:15am	The Art of Aviation There is an art to flying metal. These speed machines that defy gravity bend light just as gracefully. But how do you take these gas fueled machines and make them a piece of art? This is basic photography of light, exposure, focal length, moving the viewer's eye around the image, manipulating it while you tell the story. The subject might be "just" a plane, but the techniques, tricks and final results must make the heart fly. Don't let the title fool you. There's a lot more to this than just airplanes, we are talking romance!	Moose Peterson	Photography B Track

08:15am – 09:15am	Getting Started in Wildlife Photography If you Moose's book Captured, you probably were disappointed when you read his statement, "If you want to play with the big boys, you gotta have 600mm!" But Moose started with a 400mm and that was his longest lens for the first 5 years. That focal length taught him all the main lessons he depends on today to be successful. You have a basic DSLR and a 70-300 or a 100-400? Moose will share with you all that his 400mm taught him, permitting him to get where he is today. These are all techniques, tricks and tips you can apply to your photography to get you way beyond being a rookie and becoming a successful wildlife photographer.	Moose Peterson	Photography B Track
