Workshop - Kingfishers - Diving in the Dark
This workshop concentrates on capturing the kingfisher mid dive using a slower shutter speed and flash set in rear curtain mode the camera records not only the bird sharp at the end of the exposure but also the lightning blue trail it leaves behind itself. This isn’t any Photoshop or Lightroom wizardry - the images are all created in camera and in a single RAW exposure. Full tuition is given on the day with regards to camera settings and technique so as you can maximise your chances of capturing the perfect shot. You will need to bring along your fastest reactions alongside a 200-300mm lens and either a wired or remote release for your camera.
As we are using flash for the exposure this image only works with one person shooting at a time so the price is for sole use of the hide on the day.
We use the 'Pond hide' for this workshop and the workshop runs from 7am until last light.
