Natural Wonders Photography provides the opportunity for everyone from complete beginners to professionals to experience the wonders of the natural world in many different locations in the UK and overseas. All locations are chosen to enable you, the client, to obtain great images from the best possible position and settings. Our aim is always for you to have a great experience in a relaxed and friendly way.
Dean then baited all the stations not only around the pool but also other “props” nearby for the larger birds. It was a real treat to see Bullfinches, Jays, a family of Woodpeckers plus all the small birds you would expect to see around garden feeders but in a natural setting. A photographers paradise!
The morning flew by and we took a break to photograph the Harvest Mice. We were impressed with the way Dean presented the mice. He never handled them and they were free to climb up the various props provided. Green hedges or a buttercup meadow made for a perfect background.
The afternoon was spent in the hide again with freshly baited stations. Needless to say the time flew by and we have come home with some great memories and lovely photographs. Thank you Dean for making our day such an enjoyable one and Janette too for organising my birthday treat at such short notice. We can highly recommend this experience day and look forward to repeating it ourselves.
Our small group was of mixed ability which can be quite a challenge but Janette pitched things just right and took the time to ensure that everyone felt comfortable and had the opportunity to get the shots they wanted. The style of the workshop was hands-on and very informal which is great for kinaesthetic learners but Janette was always around to offer advice and tips. One felt that she really wanted everyone to get the very best images that they could.
She has a great sense of humour,is very patient and I gained a lot of confidence from the day as well as some fantastic photos. Lavinia the animal handler was expert at getting the animals in place for good images. The animals are clearly extremely well- cared for and treated with respect. During the day we were able to shoot nine different species so there was plenty of variety and challenges : the Little Owl was being a somewhat easier subject than the Stoat which moved like greased lightning . Overall highly – recommend. I would go back next week if I could.
Our ranger on the game drives was very knowledgeable about the park & the wildlife & on every drive we saw something different – monitor lizard raiding a stone curlews nest, a croc walking up the road & of course tigers. The accommodation was comfortable & relaxing with very good food & service. A trip that I would highly recommend!
