We had two beautiful days for our Muskoka Wildlife Workshops. The animals where very active and still in beautifull winter coats, they gave us many amazing photo oppurtunities. Thanks to Dale and Keith at MWC for the wealth of information on the animals as well as many stories about how they came to be at the centre.
Following Saturdays workshop Pat and Vivien brought their border collie puppies Trill & Sawyer to our favourite hiking trails for some tips on dog photography. My wife, Katherine joined us with puppies Ellie Bean & Zindzi to give Pat and Vivien a few more subjects to photograph.
Comments from workshop participants:
I have been at a camera course where they told about what settings too use- that was fine in the class room- BUT with Len it was setting the camera– shoot– see what you are getting — make some changes and see what the difference is in real time —- we saw the results of + or – a stop —– having a professional with Len’s experience to help with the setting was awesome BUT THEN the subjects he had made arrangements for us to shoot provided such a thrill that most of us would have been too awestruck to make the right changes— two adult wolves coming within 4-5ft of your lens— the workshop gave me an experience of a lifetime and photos to re-live it . I would highly recommend Len’s workshops to anyone interested in getting better photos THANKS Len. J. Mairs
Absolutely amazing to be so close to the animals, Len was patient and more that willing to show and explain camera settings . Will be watching the web site to see what other workshops Len is offering. J. Cairns
This is my second workshop with Len and won’t be my last! I thoroughly enjoyed the day. It was an incredible experience to see and photograph the animals so close up and I would recommend it to anyone. I learned a lot and I will do my best to apply my new found knowledge to my future photo shoots. P. Nadarajah
What an awesome experience, and to be given the proper guidance and tools to capture it all made for a perfect day. As a beginner photographer, Len made me so comfortable while he explained the differences in lighting and exposure, plus great tips on so much more that I left feeling like I really really knew what I was doing besides just pushing buttons and hoping for the best.
