This workshop will take place at Bushy Park for the red and fallow deer that reside there. It is the rutting season, and the park will hopefully be looking autumnal. The workshop will be an opportunity to make images of landscapes, flora and fauna in the company of an experienced wildlife, landscape and environmental photographer. This will be a chance to develop your photography skills and think about what make an interesting photograph that tells a story.
The tutor will have your phone numbers in case they need to get in touch in an emergency.
What will we cover?
Techniques and tips on how to take interesting images including framing, panning, positioning, blur, focusing, use of natural light, metering, depth of field and camera settings
How to develop a project or single image that tells a story
Conceptual ideas for developing your own photography in the areas of nature, landscape and environment
What will I achieve? By the end of this course you should be able to...
Identify appropriate equipment and how to use it to photograph your chosen subjects
Use photographic techniques including focus, metering, composition skills, and adapting to available light and weather
Have increased confidence in photographing your subject and how best to photograph them in varying conditions
Use storytelling techniques to help you decide on the best shot for a project or single shot
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
The course is for any level - from beginners to those wishing to refresh and hone their photographic skills.
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
The class will be taught in the field, and there will be group discussions and opportunities for one-to-ones for those that require them during the session. You will receive regular feedback from your tutor throughout the day.
Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
You will need to bring a drink and snacks. Please bring your camera with fully charged (and ideally a spare set of) batteries as there will be nowhere to charge them. Tripods are useful but not essential. As there is a lot of walking, it is your decision as to what to carry. Do check the weather report and dress appropriately. You may need waterproof clothing and a plastic bag to keep your camera dry.
