Set within the stunning grounds of Herstmonceux Castle and Gardens, this Falconry Photography Workshop is a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with some beautiful birds of prey and capture some incredible images.
This workshop, in association with East Sussex Falconry, allows photographers to learn or practice their skills through a series of exercises to secure some breathtaking photographs with the assistance of our experienced Photographer and Falconer.
You will be able to capture both posed/static images and shots of flying owls, falcons and hawks in a variety of settings within the ancient woodland.
The small group of attendees will be guided through each set-up, with advice and support if needed on camera settings, use of equipment and best positions to get some amazing images.
The course is designed for beginners, but more experienced photographers are welcome.
Get those batteries charged and storage cards at the ready, as you’ll be sure to shoot hundreds of images at this exciting and educational experience which is a perfect gift or a day out to practice photography techniques in a controlled environment.
The price per person is only £100 for the half-day workshop. The next workshop takes place on Tuesday, 7th October, 2025. BOOK BELOW.
