Jackie Rado
Wildlife Photography
A delight for the senses, we look at the colours which mark the arrival of Spring.
Photographer Jackie Rado will guide you through a practical and hands on photography workshop. You will learn about the use of colour in nature photography and how to integrate colour into your composition for impact and effect. We also examine the nature of light and how to capture moving versus stationary subjects, covering key elements of exposure and how to light your subject. We also look at focal points and focal modes, as well as the details required to achieve sharpness in photography.
These techniques and principles will build the skills required to capture stationary and moving subjects, from vibrant spring flowers to collection ducks in full plumage. We take advantage of the beautiful setting, using the wildlife and nature around us as our subjects, including plants around the Wetland centre and a selection of the wildlife and birds.
The day will begin with an introduction inside, before heading out into our nature reserve. This course is suitable for all levels of photography, and tuition will be tailored to suit individual requirements. Due to small course numbers there will be plenty of time for 1-2-1 tuition.
Please bring your camera with fully charged batteries and formatted memory cards. A midrange lens is ideal, and if you have a longer lens also do bring it along.
Dress warm and bring waterproofs for unpredictable spring weather.
Price: £60 per person, plus paid admission to the Centre. Booking Essential
