SCOTTISH PHOTOGRAPHY HIDES WINTER WORKSHOP

Join Gary this Winter for an amazing chance to photograph an amazing variety of iconic British species during daylight, and we will be concentrating on key species in the dark using flash.

For this weekend in January we will have complete and exclusive use of Alans fantastic hides in the beautiful Galloway countryside

So here we go, this is what on offer to photograph….

The woodland hide….. We will be setting up so that you can achieve amazing Red Squirrel images both static and jumping plus Sparrowhawks, Jay, Buzzard, Great Spotted Woodpecker and a whole host of woodland birds during the day, this hide really is the best in the Uk and with food scarce in the winter its a real hive of activity.

Reflection pool hide complex… night time flash photography for Badgers and Tawny Owl

Pine Marten…. spend an evening in the Marten hide to photograph an animal that is very rarely seen, never mind photographed. Using Flashes this really will give you stunning images of these elusive nocturnal animals…. plus it is hoped that we will also incorporate the chance to get jumping images.
