Northumberland Country Zoo is an exciting new venue for Going Digital. With over 50 different species to photograph, the days will be full on photography with lots of great opportunities. The following courses are available at Northumberland Zoo: a general walk around for the day learning portrait and practising DoF; A Close Up and Macro day will see you getting close to spiders, reptiles and other smaller animals in the brand new Indoor Centre. Another course will allow special access to the Meerkats and the Lemurs for a very close up photography opportunity - no bars and wires between you and the animals! Finally we will have a full day in the Indoor Flying Centre with everything from Little Owls to larger Raptors. Come face-to-face with some very large Owls for that unhindered portrait photo.
