Gear you will need...

 

Camera:  Participants are expected to know how to operate their equipment. If you have any new gear, it is important to become acquainted with it BEFOREHAND to get the most from the workshop.

Lenses:  Telephoto zoom (100 - 500mm equivalent) will allow you to photograph the birds from a distance to a fairly close range.

Tripods: A sturdy tripod with a gimbal head will be helpful if you need assistance holding your camera for a long period of time.

Software: All post-processing will be done using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. Jackie will share editing techniques ranging from basic image adjustments to more advanced Photoshop techniques with emphasis on removing distractions and cleaning up images. We will focus on obtaining a variety of compositions so that you have some images which incorporate the environment in a scenic manner. 

Pre & Post-workshop Zooms: An overview and orientation will be held online prior to the workshop. Post-workshop Zoom will consist of image reviews of fully edited images, although feedback will be shared in the field and in review sessions during the workshop. 

​​

One of the highlights of this adventure will be the people starting with a knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and multilingual guide.
You will feel the rhythm of Africa from the moment you arrive!
