Photographing Mountain Hares Workshop

Photographing mountain hares in Scotland

Location: Blairgowrie/Glenshee
Duration: Half Day/Full Day dependent on sightings
Time of Year: November to February
Price: £200

Photographing mountain hares in Scotland. I have teamed up with a local wildlife expert and guide to facilitate this Mountain Hare wildlife photography workshop in the mountains around Glenshee.

We will walk in to the mountains to search for and find local populations of the hares. We will then sit with them and try to carefully approach them to enable us to get some interesting images. It is worth noting that they are found in areas that are just spectacular in terms of scenery so sometimes shooting wider and showing the environment can provide more impact than shooting just close ups.

Seeing and photographing hares is an incredible experience and these hares can be fairly relaxed around people if treated with respect and approached in the correct way.

It is a wonderful opportunity to capture images of these beautiful and unique animals.

The Time of this trip would be from approximately 10am – 3pm

The start and end time is highly variable on these workshops as they are very much weather dependent. The exact start time will be given a week before the date.

As with all my workshops I will be on hand to give advice on settings and various shots that can be achieved. The group will be a maximum of 2 people so there will be plenty of opportunities to work with everyone one on one if required.

The price is £200pp for the day.

There is also an opportunity to add Pine Martens to the day. After we have finished with the hares we will use a hide near Blairgowrie to photograph images of these elusive animals, there is a high success rate in this hide and the hide is equipped with floodlights to enable us to shoot after it gets dark. The hide is also heated.

The additional cost for the Pine Marten extension is £100pp

The price does not include accommodation. It also excludes all meals. If booking accommodation, I would suggest booking with free cancellation due to the possibility of adverse weather.

If it is of interest, then please contact me to be added to the interested list and I will come back to you with possible dates and more information.

If for any reason the workshop cannot run due to the weather.

I will give you 3 options:

• Full Refund
• Another suitable date
• Credit towards any other workshop

If you would like a tailor-made private trip, then please get in touch.
