This one day workshop will be an opportunity to make images of landscapes, flora and fauna in the company of an experienced wildlife, landscape and environmental photographer. We cannot promise you will see wildlife but there are usually aquatic and other birds, squirrels and sometimes the odd farm animal. All make suitable subjects and you will still learn what you need to for a safari photography trip. Most importantly, it will provide you with the space, literal and metaphorical, to hone your photography skills and think what makes good photographs that tell a story. There will be quite a bit of distance involved, so make sure you wear comfortable shoes, but there will also be plenty of stops along the way. All routes are wheelchair friendly and also cater to the needs of those that are not so adept at standing or walking for too long. You can always bring a foldaway stool with your equipment, but the tutor will make sure there are plenty of rest stops. The tutor will have your phone numbers in case they need to get in touch in an emergency. Please be on time, the tutor can only wait a maximum of 15 mins for latecomers.
The meeting location for the June course (VY425) is Granary Square, King's Cross, close to the 'canalside green steps' (though there is an alternative step-free route we will take) at 10:30am.
