Workshop Description

Why not escape the strain of the UK and its March/October dullness and join me on this workshop in the tranquil and stunning surroundings of northern Sweden, where you will be able to photograph one of the worlds most iconic and magnificent birds: The Golden Eagle, in its natural habitat.

Surrounded by quiet, pristine forests, you will be amazed at not only the winter landscape, but also how close you will be to these incredible birds of prey, watching and photographing them against a beautiful backdrop.

But Golden Eagles aren’t the only things you will see. Bullfinches, Great Spotted Woodpeckers, Grey Headed Woodpeckers as well as Willow Tits, Jays and of course the gorgeous Red Fox with its bushy winter coat. Most likely a Red Squirrel or two.

Itinary

This workshop is for four nights with three days photography.

Photographing Golden Eagles and other wildlife that are around the hides is often challenging especially when snowing. Your meter reading is likely to be all over the place, but I’ll be on hand to give expert advice on settings and to get your white balance correct throughout the three days. This will enable you to get the very best images possible.

Weather conditions is usually very cold, often upto minus 18 degrees so we need to wrap up with plenty of layers. There is however a heater or log burner in hides so you can hopefully stay warm during the day.

The day usually starts early leaving our accommodation at approx 5am and ending the session approx 5.30pm. We have a 10 minutes walk to the hides.
