3 Hour Photography Session

Description

This three-hour session is a completely unique way to capture the awe-inspiring beauty of Birds of Prey such as the Barn Owl, Kestrel and European Eagle Owl.

Whats involved

Our meeting point is our centre within Moss End Garden Village. Here you meet the falconers and fellow photographers.

We then have a quick safety talk and general tips for getting the best out of the photography session.

The aim of the Photography Session is to create a relaxed atmosphere where you are able to get truly up close and personal with our birds, using a range of props to create an image that is as natural as possible. Plenty of time is given to each bird and advice offered on framing the bird, how the bird might move, wing size so as to avoid just clipping the wings out of the frame and much more.

There is a break halfway through for coffee, biscuits and a chance to look through your pictures so far.

What do you need?

A camera is all you need, this can be a DSL all the way through to a phone camera all are welcome. You are also welcome to bring along video cameras.

If you have them, then we recommend a variety of lenses.

The birds allow us to get a range of shots including Macro, wide angle and fish eyes. We are not working at massive distances or trying to spot a dot on the horizon!

If you have an idea or a prop that you would like to use please feel free to contact us beforehand or let us know on the day and we will do our best to figure out how it can be achieved. If you would like to have a look at some images taken at Feathers and Fur then please click here.

This session is perfect for anyone that has a camera whether its a top of the range SLR or simply a phone camera. It is also available as a voucher if you would like to give it as a gift and have a validity of a year.

So how does it work?

Below is the list of dates our Photography Sessions are held on. The sessions start at 10am (unless stated otherwise) and run until 1pm. Next to each date is a description of what will be involved in that session, an idea of the skill level required and the number of spaces still available. The idea is that by having a go with some of the easier shoots it will boost your confidence for the harder ones later in the year.
