A thoroughly enjoyable course. Glen was a fantastic teacher and explain the concepts very well with great enthusiasm for the subject. I’ve come away with a much better understanding of the photography principles and I’m a lot more confident that I will be able to see & record better photographs rather than just snaps Excellent!

The Landscape, Nature & Bird Photography Course takes place at the AWBC, Rutland Water, LE15 8BT
Anglian Water Birdwatching Centre,
Rutland Water. Egleton, Oakham, Rutland. LE15 8BT AWBC Website
This one day camera course focuses on bird, landscape and nature photography in the beautiful countryside of Rutland. It takes place at the Anglian Water Birdwatching Centre (AWBC) from 9.30am to 5pm and costs £150 per person.
Coffee and biscuits are provided but please bring a packed lunch.
This course mainly concentrates on the techniques for bird photography with a practical outdoors session shooting from nearby hides. This does not include the Osprey hides. We will also be looking at the techniques and theory of landscape photography but any time spent shooting landscapes will be instead of photographing the birds.
This is a Level Two course so It’s recommended that you have attended one of our beginner’s photography course first. Past experience has shown that people enjoy this course far more if they already have a good grasp of the basics camera settings and menus.
This will enable you to concentrate on the main topics of the day without having to think so much about camera handling. If you have any questions please call us on 0116 279 6906 or email glen@digitalphotographycourses.co.uk
