Remaining group workshops 2009

Ben runs a series of wildlife photography workshops each year. Places are be booked on a first come first served basis, and are limited to 6 people to ensure that all participants get full benefit from Ben’s tuition and practical advice. In addition to answering any questions that people might ask, Ben also gives instruction on various field techniques including: Getting close to your subject, creating sharp images, making correct exposures in tricky lighting situations, designing the picture space and capturing action and behaviour.

October: Red deer rut

Autumn heralds the start of the red deer rut, one of the most visually impressive nature spectacles of the year. We will be visiting a deer park in the midlands where there will be a good chance of capturing stags roaring and fighting.

November: Mountain hares

At this time of year mountain hares will have turned almost pure white and make great subjects. The Dark Peak moors are also home to red grouse and moorland raptors.

December: Grey seal pups

Donna nook is an exposed sand flat on the Lincolnshire coast and each year becomes the birthing place for hundreds of grey seals. The day will be spent photographing pups interacting and the adult seals mating and playing in the surf.

The price for each workshop will be £185.00. For further details including dates, and a booking form, please contact the office.
