The Rut - Peak District Wildlife Photography Workshop
Come with me, into a dense woodland looking for Wild Deer during The Rut. An incredible experience to see and hear the roars of our national park’s beasts. The stags are tremendous, battling for their women! The closest you can get to ‘being in the wild’ while in The Peak District in my opinion.
Patience is the game, and respecting the animals as they go about their business. We will explore a woodland near Frogatt Edge where the dear like to hang out, and then onto the tops if we cant see any. I have no doubt that we will be able to hear them! They are most active in the early hours, so we will be arriving in the dark and begin walking at dusk. The light is challenging, we have to be really careful on what settings we use, in order to get a sharp image.
Throughout the morning we will be looking at a few different techniques, for wildlife photography. Whilst we are in there, depending on what happens, I will also go through some woodland compositions and techniques if that is of interest in the group.
I tailor my course to you, as best as I can. Assuring that you learn something new and ultimately come out with work to be proud of.
I welcome all questions, photography, location or hiking related. If you wish for some 1:1 guidance and time allows it, then by all means please ask. Not only is this a great opportunity to learn from a professional - but to meet like minded people and make new friends. I often stay in touch with most people from my workshops and share ideas together in a WhatsApp group (I will add you to it if that’s something you’re interested in)
The maximum spaces available will be 4, five people including me. This will allow me to make sure that everyone cant get the help they require and have their questions answered.
Upon booking, I will email you are a short questionnaire about your photography experience, to help me plan the day for you.
