Workshops for those starting out in Wildlife Photography
These are Beginner Wildlife Photography Workshops. They are perfect for you if you are new to wildlife photography or want to build confidence with your camera.
Michael set up the camera and explained exactly as much as I could handle, so that I could capture better photos of birds and red squirrels than I’ve ever done before. He struck a really good balance between set-up, letting me practise, critiquing my shots and suggesting next steps. Loads of good advice, and a morning in a bird hide flew by! He also then emailed a resume of what he’d taught me, which is brilliant for me to recap.
