Course Overview

During this exciting and challenging photography session the aim will be to capture wildlife around Ferry Meadows. It will provide a perfect opportunity to come away with amazing and inspired images.

• Suitable for most types of digital camera but especially; DSLR, Bridge, CSC, Mirrorless & some compact cameras

• We shall establish the ideal camera settings, composition and equipment required

Please note for our Saturday taster sessions there is no concessions for over 60’s.

You will need

• Bring a tripod as this will be essential to ensure crisp, sharp photos

• A camera with fully charged battery(s) - this will be necessary as it’ll be cold, and the battery could lose charge

• A ‘kit’ lens (18mm - 55mm) or similar is ideal. However, if you also have a small telephoto lens (up to 200mm) this could also be useful for some images.

• Sufficient space on the memory card - you will be taking lots of photos!

• A tripod to support the camera - a monopod is not likely to be sufficiently stable for this task.

• Lens cleaning cloth/lens pen to remove finger marks, dust, raindrops!?

• Also, adequate warm clothing, gloves, scarf etc.

As always, this outdoor session will be more enjoyable if the weather is kind to us!
