Harris Hawk by Linda Wright Nature through the seasons Extend your digital camera skills with nature as the subject. Includes a birds of prey session.
What to expect

These courses in creative digital photography are centred on the theme of nature. They are aimed at the enthusiast who wants to progress from using the auto mode to unlocking the full potential of their digital camera.

The courses include some of the theoretical aspects of image creation as well as providing opportunities to take stunning photos of natural subjects. As usual we spend early evenings reviewing our images in the comfort of our hotel.

Topics covered include
What makes a good photo
Lighting and exposure
Creative use of depth of field
Macro work
Capturing wildlife
How to photograph fast action
Building a low budget studio

The holidays span all four seasons and, although the theory won't change, the subjects are chosen to reflect each one.

We work mostly outdoors, however, if we are unlucky with the weather, we spend more time learning how to make and use a simple indoor studio.

Special note: On each course, irrespective of the season, we will have a spectacular half day session with birds of prey. This will be based primarily on birds at rest, though there will be a flying display that will give opportunities to photograph the birds in flight.
