This photographic workshop is held at Wildwood Wildlife Park in Kent. If photographing animals is your hobby, then this venue is for you. Badgers here are fed daily at 3.30 pm, therefore guaranteeing photo opportunities. Slightly underexpose your shots and they will appear to have been shot at dusk. There is even a view of the inside of their sett. The photographs of the badgers are absolutely stunning.
The animals are housed in large natural enclosures that are tailor-made for taking some fantastic photos. Photographers On Safari have arranged for privileged access, allowing you to go inside enclosures not open to the general public. You will be able to take stunning pictures with no unsightly barriers or fences obscuring your view.
The day begins with a short tutorial on photography, giving an insight into the techniques used for wildlife photography. Feel free, however, to ask as many questions as you like, on a one to one basis, throughout the day regarding these techniques. General and/or individual advice will be given each time we choose a new subject. Group numbers will be strictly limited to six clients so that everybody gets a great position.
Two separate enclosures provide totally contrasting settings. One is built around a pond in woodland, and the other a more traditional setting. There are slots in the fence allowing for great photos of these normally shy animals.
We are privileged to be allowed inside the Pine Marten enclosure. He will pose on logs and on a tree stump, allowing you to take great shots of this elusive creature. Please note that access to the Pine Martin may be withdrawn for 2008 as he is the centre of an important breeding program which cannot be disturbed.
We also have arranged privileged access to two Lynx and three Otters. The Lynx are in a natural wooded enclosure and the Otters' pond, banks and undergrowth again make for some really authentic shots. Your pictures will portray no indication whatsoever that the otters have not been photographed in the wild.
We have permission to actually go inside these enclosures with our subjects. Both enclosures are in mature woodland and great shots are possible.
Many other animals are resident here. Different species will present themselves regularly as we move between our chosen subjects, but we cannot guarantee you will be able to photograph each and every one of them. We will photograph what we can. The Red Deer almost invariably provide some great photo opportunities.
