Dave,

They are pretty much the same. The NANPA code of ethics can be found at http://www.nanpa.org/docs/NANPA-Ethical-Practices.pdf

The BOCA code mentions "flashlights". Does that refer to what many Australians call a "torch" or to a photographic "flash"? With more and more Australians seemingly adopting Americanisms such as using "flashlight" for a torch, perhaps it should be clarified on the site. Even changing the word "flashlight" to "flash" would sufficiently.

Cheers,

Carl Clifford

I would be interested to see how that code compares to the one adopted by BOCA (http://boca.org.au/about-boca/our-policies)

Hi Paul,

Great to see the mwntions of ethics and the adherence to NANPA's code of ethics.

Any thoughts on having a similar session in Sydney?

Cheers,

Hi all,

I've had a few questions about the content etc of the workshop and whether
the meet and greet is in association with BOCA/Birds Australia

* The workshop will be a quick run down on getting the most out of your
camera, stalking skills, tricky exposure situations etc etc

*   There will be some discussion of "ethical" bird photography but this
topic will not be discussed in detail.

* All instruction is given while stressing the importance of ethical bird photography practices (in-line with NANPA's ethical guidelines which will be
handed out on the day).

* I do not use bird calls or perch setups so this will not be part of the
workshop.

* The meet and greet is not associated with any bird group and is just a
chance for bird photographers to meet and exchange techniques and ideas.

* All money from $5 cost will be donated to Birds Australia's "Australian
Bird fund".

*   The workshop is relevant to all sorts of cameras...film, point and
shoot, DSLR's etc.


I hope this answers any questions you may have and I hope to see you there,
