Raptor Photography Hands On Workshop sponsored by Helix Camera & Video
This year at CAPS we are excited to be able to have a
couple of photo workshops that you can participate in. There is a macro shoot, a frogs and amphibians shoot and one of them is a raptor shoot.
For the raptor shoot the birds are from Wings and Talons of Itasca, IL who
will be handling the birds.
Helix Camera & Video located at 100 N. Walnut
Street in Itasca, IL is sponsoring this event.
The birds will be set up outside with some nice trees for a great background. Some of the birds you may be able to
photograph include: Red Tailed Hawk, Western Screech Owl, Barred Owl, Barn
Owl, Great Horned Owl, American Kestrel.
This workshop will be on Sunday, November 24th. There is a $35 fee to photograph these
beautiful birds. You can register online
for the workshop when you register for CAPS.
If there should be a couple openings on the day of the event, you could
possibly ask at the registration desk when you check in for CAPS and sign up.
You will then be given a special arm band to allow you into the workshop.

About the Speakers…
LOU NETTELHORST
Lou Nettelhorst is first and foremost a photography teacher. He is also an award-winning photographer and stunning image-maker. He is a man on a mission – a mission to make photographing fun, creative and rewarding for others through his unique teaching style. The hallmark of Lou’s style is his eagerness to share his professional experience and techniques, while always providing encouragement, constructive feedback, and (often groan-inducing) humor. Lou has taught thousands of aspiring photographers. He literally gets goose-bumps when he sees the amazing images made by his students and counts their successes as his most treasured reward. One of his students recently commented, “You can be a great photographer, but not know how to teach. Lou is a phenomenal teacher and an amazing photographer!” A student of noted photographers Freeman Patterson, Sam Abel and Bob Sisson, Lou’s images have been published in Nature’s Best Photography, Outdoor Photographer, North American Nature Photography Association’s (NANPA) Member Showcase and Chicago Wilderness Magazine, as well as many newsletters. In 2010, he received the Kohout Outstanding Nature Photographer’s Award from the Chicago Area Camera Clubs Association (CACCA). In 2019, Lou received the prestigious NANPA Fellow award for his significant contributions to the nature photography profession over twenty plus years.
Todd Nettelhorst
Todd Nettelhorst has had a passion for photography and videography much of his life. He started photographing at a very young age when his father gave him his first SLR camera. His appreciation of photography grew while photographing throughout the country during the family’s summer road trips. After starting a family with his beautiful wife Tambi, his photography gained notoriety as he began shooting for families and for a variety of commercial clients. From there, his creativity for capturing life evolved and still does today. As he continues to engage in commercial work with new and established clients, Todd enjoys bringing his charismatic energy, unique photographic perspective and deep passion for the visual arts to others by helping them explore and develop the best of their creative abilities through education.
