Wildife Photography at 5 Sisters Zoo
with Paul McDougall
Outline of workshop
I have a love hate relationship with Zoos, to the point I will only visit those that demonstrate strong conservation and educational principles.
With over 160 different species from around the world, Five Sisters Zoo is the perfect place to take a “walk on the wild side”. 5 Sisters Zoo opened in 2005 and is situated just 25 minutes west of Edinburgh. The zoo is at the heart of rehabilitation and conservation and has many animals that have been rescued from captivity and hardship.
The day will be spent walking around the zoo. We will attempt to capture the various species looking as natural as possible.
Duration: 6 hours.
