WILDLIFE WATER SAFARI ON THE NORFOLK BROADS
Wildlife Water Safari on the Norfolk Broads
If you would like a unique perspective of the wildlife of the Norfolk Broads this is the wildlife photography course for you.
During this full-day photography course we will be travelling along the waterways of the Norfolk Broads in an open boat with panoramic views of this beautiful location and its wildlife. Travelling by boat means we can get closer to the wildlife for those frame-filling images, as well as creating beautiful environmental pictures of the broads and its wildlife.
All the techniques needed to capture great wildlife images will be covered during this full-day course. How to take sharp images of fast-moving action, focus modes for wildlife photography, shutter speeds and aperture, avoiding camera shake, ISO, controlling depth of field and white balance will be looked at in great detail. How to get the right exposure, exposure modes, exposure compensation and the exposure histogram will also be fully explained.
The artistic side of wildlife photography will also feature heavily. Composition and the use of light and colour are important considerations.
All of my photography workshops are conducted in a fun and relaxed manner. I think we all learn more if we are not under constant pressure. I strive to make my workshops educational and enjoyable. If you have any questions during or after the course I’m happy to answer them at any time. And of course, pottering along on a boat through the Norfolk Broads is relaxing in itself.
With regard to equipment, many bridge, mirrorless and DSLR cameras will be suitable for this course. A focal length of around 400 to 600mm minimum would be fine. For example a 100mm-400mm or 200mm-500mm or 150mm-600mm zoom lens would be ideal. These focal lengths are based on a full-frame camera body. If you have any questions regarding what equipment is best for the day, please feel free to get in touch with me. And of course, have plenty of space on your memory card for all those wildlife images! It is also advisable to bring at least one spare battery for your camera.
This course is limited to four participants so there is lots of time for individual tuition. This means I can teach all photographers, with different levels of experience leaving plenty of time throughout the day for one-to-one tuition for everyone.
Through payment of a deposit or a full payment for this course, you agree to the Terms and Conditions of our Photography Courses as stipulated on our Terms and Conditions page.
Once the photography workshop is finished I will send you a full set of notes covering all the subjects discussed during each photographic session. I think this is very important because it’s hard to retain all the information you are given on the day.
On this photography course the sort of wildlife we are looking for are water birds such as kingfishers, great crested grebes, herons, egrets, ducks, geese and swans. Marsh harriers are often spotted and we will keep a lookout for otters. There is also an outside chance of seeing a bittern.
