Master Wildlife Photography: Birds of Prey

Discuss this workshop

Photograph beautiful birds and improve your wildlife photography skills.

Ever wanted to improve your wildlife photography skills or longed for an opportunity to photograph birds of prey close up and in action? If this description fits, then this Birds of Prey Wildlife Photography Training Workshop has been designed for you!

We start the day with a short introduction of the birds themselves by a professional bird handler. You will learn about their habits and the do's and don'ts while photographing these magnificent animals. This is followed by a short session with tips and tricks on how to set-up your camera and make the most of your images during this workshop.

After that, it's time for our first session with the birds, shooting portraits until lunch time. During lunch (provided), there is a chance to have your images reviewed and discussed, as well as getting tips on how to improve those images during the afternoon shoot or post-processing.

In the afternoon, there is a chance to improve on the portraits that were made in the morning. The highlight of the afternoon will be photographing birds in flight and on their prey, providing lots of opportunities for unique shots. We will end the day with another image review and closing drinks.

To make sure that every participant has ample opportunity to get great shots, the groups size will be kept to no more than 12 people. You will return home with an unforgettable experience and heaps of great images!
