Wildlife Photography Course at WWT London

6 02 2011

Yesterday, around 10 of us went to WWT London for a wildlife photography course led by Iain Green. I was very excited to meet everyone and learn some tips from a true pro! It was very grey, and blowing a gale all day, but I was glad of this as these are the conditions I most needed help with.

The 6 hour course was spent wandering the entire of WWT London, taking photos and being offered advice where needed. I found it very valuable! And Iain was kind enough to let me borrow his 1.4x extender to use with my 100-400mm lens. Gave me some great views of the pair of peregrine falcons sitting on a distant island on the lake!

Thanks very much to Iain, WWT London, and the rest of the people on the course for making it a wonderful day :)

Here are my best shots from the day:

FIGHT!

Edit (Tues 8th Feb)
Adding this extra shot at the request of Iain. Personally, I don’t think it’s sharp enough, regardless of motion blur and water splashes! Must try harder! :)
