In Person Workshop RSPB Burton Mere
October 27th,11:00am to 4:00pm | 20 GBP
Reconnect with nature and learn to appreciate the beauty of these stunning habitats with OM SYSTEM Ambassador Andrew Fusek Peters as your guide. During this day-long retreat you'll get the chance to learn more about the fascinating wildlife found in this RSPB reserve – and learn photography skills that you can use when on your own adventures in the future. This is a unique workshop that combines the art of photography with a deep dive into the wonders of our natural environment.
Andrew's top 5 photography tips/topics that he will cover during this workshop:
1 - How do we both respect nature and conservation but still get beautiful shots
2 - Being out in nature - being in the moment, responding to bird situations
3 - Basics of birds, hides, home photography, using your car as a hide but above all moving slowly and quietly out in the landscape means you do not scare birds off
4 - Technical - setting up your camera and lens to be able to respond quickly - Pro capture, custom button settings, shutter speed for flight and af tracking
5 processing - how do you do justice to a photo if you have caught a magic moment - again with respect to nature you want your raw file to sing out - looking at noise, sharpening, cropping and the benefit and threat of AI
Please note! The price of your ticket does not include accommodation. Lunch will be included. We will meet at 11.00am at The Visitor Centre and plan to finish at 4:00pm. You will need to bring your own camera and lenses (a telephoot lens of 300mm is recommended): you may be able to borrow and try additional lenses from our team on the day. Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the time of year and weather.
What does Nature mean to our Ambassador Andrew Fusek Peters?
"Going into nature is my way of turning off from the madness of the world. When I have an encounter with a bird, the moon, a butterfly, I am acknowledging that what I do is merely reflect the glory we are in danger of losing. My art is simply to make you see stupendous beauty and hopefully be moved by it. "
