Red Deer in Rut Photography Workshop

THIS EVENT IS NOW FULL – WE STILL HAVE SPACES ON 9/10 OCTOBER DATES FOR THE SAME WORKSHOP.

Join NaturesLens for their Red Deer in Rut Photography Workshop which is to be conducted during the deer rutting season in October 2016.

The itinerary for the workshop is as follows – our group will meet at our hotel in Surbiton mid-afternoon on the 8th October.  Sean will brief you in & will tell you what to expect, how he can help & assist you; as a group you will the head to one of several deer photography locations in the area, from this point until sunset you will be locating groups of deer or solitary stags & capturing images under the guidance of Sean. When the light has gone, we have reserved some rooms in a nearby hotel, the group will stay there overnight; you can freshen up & have a meal, maybe discuss what you achieved in the late afternoon photography session.

The next morning is an early start, you need to be at the park gates ready for them to open prior to sunrise, but don’t worry, we will co-ordinate all this; hopefully, the light will be kind & you will be able to put into practice the skills & guidance from the previous evening. Sean will be on hand constantly to offer advice & hands-on guidance on composition, isolated images, & how to produce images with impact.

For more of Sean’s creative deer & stag imagery, including those taken at sunrise & sunset, please see this blog post.

Photography guidance will take place around the two main photography sessions, an evening session, followed by an early morning session.

Showcasing Sean’s creative Red Deer & Stag imagery

Creative red deer & stag imagery can be achieved not only during the magical “golden hour” but also, if the weather is kind, in the short time after the golden light period. In fact, this is probably the best time to do something really innovative with light & composition as evidenced here by Sean’s stunning, award winning images.

We have always maintained that strong images can be achieved at the end of the day as well as at the start of the day which is why holidays such as our Dalmatian Pelicans of Lake Kerkini offer late afternoon to sunset sessions (weather & light permitting) & we also offer afternoon to late evening Birds of Prey workshops. Sean’s beautiful images lend further credence to this belief.

The NaturesLens Red Deer in Rut Photography Workshop has been designed to take advantage of sunset & sunrise with the first session commencing late afternoon through to sunset.  This is the perfect opportunity to try some evening photography & learn from Sean himself, before the more traditional early morning session.

The morning sessions have early starts, but the possibilities are endless if the light is good: a misty morning will lend atmosphere, rays of sunlight coming through the woods give rise to the feel of an enchanted forest, & Sean will be on hand to provide advice on composition, technique & even advice on deer & stag behaviour to enable you to achieve the best possible images.

As noted on another blog post, Sean Weekly has joined our leading team, & we will be announcing a series of workshops & photography holidays that he will be leading over the next year. Hopefully this will be a long & fruitful relationship, as we have been talking about events for several future years with him; but right now, we’d like to announce the details of the Red Deer in Rut Photography Workshop that he will be leading for us in October 2016.

When discussing the workshop with Sean, he reinforced the fact that strong images can be captured at the end of the day, as well as the start; this lead us to develop the idea of an overnight workshop that will, hopefully, add a selection of fantastic rutting red deer & stag images to all our workshop participants photography portfolios.

Sean has been awarded a number of times in the British Wildlife Photography Awards for his stunning red deer imagery & this is your chance to learn from Sean himself on an evening session, then a following morning session – light allowing, you will be capturing images similar to the following:
