BIRDS OF PREY - Photograph a stunning selection of birds in a private woodland with the opportunity to capture portraits and flight action. This workshop consists of a Zoom Presentation a few days before (usually held around 6.30pm on a Wednesday - recorded if you can't make it) which you can watch and ask questions in the comfort of your own home. With all the key information ready to hand we will then meet up at the private woodland with our falconer for the practical side of the workshop with 3 hours of photography and support from your tutor on the day. This session will run from 10am until 1pm in the Pontefract area - the exact location will be confirmed the week before. After the session, everyone will have the option of sending me some of their pictures from the day to have a personal review over zoom. Ideally, you'll have been on a Part 1 workshop and have an understanding of aperture, ISO and shutter speed and a zoom lens would be an advantage on this workshop.
