As announced, Jed Wee has been working with a falconer at Swinton Park Birds of Prey and they’ve developed a workshop for photographers that offer unique access to birds of prey and tuition from Jed who is a top flight professional wild life and sports photographer.
THE DAY
A day with the birds with a chance to photograph them up close and with natural settings. Every care will be taken to hide jesses and where possible some birds might be free of equipment apart from small ID rings. There will be information about the birds from falconer Sophie and photography tuition from Jed. They will be working to deliver some set shots and try to make happen any ideas the participants may have.
The day will be from 10.00 a.m to around 3.00 p.m. You will not need specialist equipment to come back with great pictures. A range of lenses from wide angle to telephoto would be good. Anyone with a 200-300mm or thereabouts will be able to enjoy a good day’s
photography.
