Wildlife and Whale Spotting Photography Workshop and Tour

SUNDAY 7 July 2019 - $80
2:00pm
Wildlife and Whale Spotting Photography Workshop and Tour

Please book via : https://www.trybooking.com/BCOOS

We’ll trek up along the high Cape Track that provides one of the best lookout spots for local wildlife, migrating whales and some of the most stunning landscapes on the island. In this workshop we'll be teaching fundamental principles of wildlife photography so that you get the best shot possible covering things like camera settings, focus, composition and animal behaviour.

Participants will also learn about the native animals and environment unique to the island to better understand what they are shooting. All workshop facilitators are island locals and professional photographers who have an intimate understanding of the environment, seasonal fluctuations, animals and conditions on the island.

The workshop lasts between 3-4 hours covering the 7k hike along the Cape Woolamai Track. Participants need a moderate level of fitness.

Meeting Point and Workshop Location
We will meet at car park at Woolamai Beach.

Prerequisites
None

What to Bring
Participants need to bring their camera and all lenses, fully charged battery, empty memory card, good shoes, jumper or jacket, flashlight and a small bottle of water. A tripod is not necessary for this workshop.

Safety
The Phillip Island coast can be a rugged and unforgiving place. Coastal areas are prone to rogue waves and cliff tops are unstable. The island has a very sensitive ecosystem and we will require all participants to remain on the clearly marked paths at all times for their own safety and the safety of our local flora and fauna. Photo Rangers is not responsible for any loss or injury that may occur on the workshop.

If the weather is severe or lightening is present, we will cancel the workshop. We will attempt to make a call on workshop cancellation 2 hours before the workshop if possible.
