This day is a great opportunity to photograph some of the beautiful birds of prey that reside at Liberty’s Centre near Ringwood, in the New Forest, under studio conditions for something just a little bit different. Owls, hawks and falcons in a purpose built indoor studio using high quality lighting makes for some visually stunning images. This day is suitable for photographers of all abilities and as always an experienced photographer is on hand should you need any help.
Your day will start at 9.30 AM with a brief introduction and a quick safety talk before the birds are brought in to be photographed using our professional studio lighting equipment. During the session you will photograph a number of different birds of prey using a variety of lighting set-ups and backdrops. Shooting under these conditions should enable you take as photographs that are as good as your camera and lens can achieve and it is possible to get some truly stunning images of these creatures. The day ends in the studio at 11.30 AM giving you time to watch and photograph the Public Flying Demonstration at 12 Noon.
The Studio Workshops are not weather dependent but can only take place during the morning from 9.30 – 11.30 AM
Recommended Camera Equipment: You will need a DSLR camera, Compact System Camera or a high end “bridge” camera that is capable of being set to manual exposure with the ability to control ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed. We suggest that if you are unfamiliar with the controls you check your camera’s instruction manual before your day. For cameras with electronic view finders it would be helpful to be able to turn off “exposure simulation” preview if possible.
The camera will also need to be able to accept a standard flash “hot-shoe” fitting flash trigger.
Lenses we recommend are a zoom lens of around 70 – 200 mm or more focal length.
