Join  award winning wildlife photographer KJ Dudley of K1 Photography in association with Haven Falconry, Isle of Wight , for an exciting half day photography workshop for beginners, with an introduction into the art of bird photography, new for 2022
 

This half day photography workshop hosted by KJ Dudley begins at 9am and finishes at around 2pm.
 

Set in a beautiful woodland setting, the first section of this half day workshop will focus on those all important camera settings and exploring the art of composition.

The workshop will then move onto an opportunity to produce static, portrait shots of stunning birds of prey from Haven falconry in a natural setting. The knowledgable staff from Haven Faloconry will be on hand throughout to answer any questions you may have about birds of prey and caring for these most beautiful birds .

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As the day progresses , the workshop will  eventually move onto the art of birds in flight images,with a range of birds of prey,where photographers will have an opportunity to learn the art of photography birds in flight in the woodland setting and finally rounding off the half day with another opportunity to put your newly learned photography skills to the test with front row seats at Haven falconry 's spectacular bird of prey daily flying display. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The welfare of the birds is paramount at all times, therefore group sizes will be kept to a maximum of 10 photographers per workshop.
 
The specific species of bird that will be photographed at each workshop may vary, and will be determined by conditions, the individual birds and falconer available. The birds are just like us and may have an off day now and again so we cannot guarantee a specific bird will be joining us.

 

There will also be plenty of opportunities to learn about these magnificent birds of prey throughout the workshop through their expert falconers. 

A great deal of care has been taken to ensure the birds and the environment you will be photographing in looks as natural as possible. Early booking is advisable to avoid disappointment. New dates being added very soon
