Creative Wildlife Photography Workshop. Light, Slow Shutter Speeds and ICM 28-01-27

Creative Wildlife Photography Workshop

Location: Glasgow

Duration: 6 hours

This workshop is designed for people who have knowledge of photography but either want to become more creative with their cameras or for those photographers that have reached a creative block.

Throughout the workshop we will experiment with motion blur from simple panning techniques to more complex camera movement and longer shutter speeds. We will also look at how light can be used creatively to change your images dramatically. We will look at opportunities where high-key and low-key techniques can be used to completely change your image.

We will also cover different composition and how to crop and frame your images to create a very different look.

The final section of the workshop will teach you to focus on the environment and backgrounds and how these can be used creatively to add more impact to your images

The focus of the workshop is on capturing images of common species in a completely different and imaginative way, so we will be photographing swans, ducks and other water birds. The great thing about this location is that there are numerous different subjects that we can get quite close to and it gives us lots of opportunities to try different things and experiment. The light at this location is also very good.
