As spring and summer arrives on the loch so does new life. Our focus on this workshop will be to capture images of the ducklings, cygnets and other young birds.

We will also be looking for any interesting courtship behaviour, nest building, interaction between the parents and young and any interesting behaviour between species.

The workshop will be a fun but informative day using the different backgrounds and available light to create some different images of the local wildlife

On the day we will cover the following:

  • Portraits
  • Backgrounds
  • Behaviour
  • Light
  • Camera Settings and Technique

Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to enhance your photography skills while surrounded by the stunning wildlife of Hogganfield Loch. See you there!
