Wildlife Photography Workshops

 

 

Make a photography course a part of your holiday in the outstanding Forest of Dean and Wye Valley region.

 

 

 

Since 2004, award-winning wildlife photographer David J Slater has been running ONE-to-ONE or ONE-to-TWO practical workshops for photographers wishing to improve their wildlife photography.

 

 

 

Anyone interested in having a day out in the field with me, to get advice on equipment before a purchase, to learn skills with a visit to a wildlife park or nature reserve, then please get in touch.  Every trip will be tailored to suit, be it general photography or more specialized.

 

An easy going approach that packs a lot of information in is my preferred style.   I make photography as simplified as possible for you.  I will dispel many myths about how good photographers get their images, and get you to do the same.  Knowledge learnt can be easily transferred to other photographic disciplines.

 

Dates are by mutual arrangement, with lots of flexibility if climate change ever gets too troublesome!

 

Only on a personalized workshop can you ask as many questions as you like without embarrassment, and get sound practical advice on seeing and perfecting the final image. Group workshops can never achieve the same.

 

I have experience catering for young people, with a parent attending for free if they wish.  We will visit either Bristol Zoo or Slimbridge.

 

Cameras, lenses, tripods, can all be loaned.  You will get to use professional lenses, including the Canon 600mm F4, and take your pictures on a Canon digital SLR camera.  I will also give you constructive critique of your pictures (past and present), with comparison of any I took on the trip.

 

Prices are £140 per day based around the Forest of Dean and/or Slimbridge.  Two people sharing will cost £200.

 

Personalized tuition includes understanding your camera, flash, macro, exposure, digital processing, etc. with field work aimed at your choice of birds, plants, insects or everything (if available).  Watch how I do it then have a go yourself. 

 

Overnight accommodation can be arranged for you.  Discounts for longer stays.

Please make sure you put "workshop request" in the subject line (or it will be deleted as junk mail).

"There is no substitute in photography for getting out there and practicing".
