Suitable for photographers with some experience

To get the best from this wildlife photography workshop, you will need some previous experience of using long lenses and a DSLR or mirrorless camera. We will primarily be hide-based and will require a mid-level mirrorless / DSLR camera or better with lenses suitable for high speed and low light photography. A lens with an equivalent focal length of 600mm or more is ideal

We will be present in the hides and in the field with you at all times to provide assistance as required and to ensure you can get the pictures you want. In the evenings,we can offer help with optimising your images to make them look their best.

If you have any questions on cameras or lenses and focal lengths, please call or message us. We are happy to help.

Despite temperatures ranging from +15 to -10 C outdoors, you will be warm and comfortable at all times.

Why book this holiday with us?

Finland is beautiful and very different from other photographic destinations. The birds we see are entirely wild and at one with their unique environment, making for beautiful and unusual pictures.

Jari Peltomaki is acknowledged to be one of the world's finest bird photographers. The hides have been setup with extreme care and attention to detail to ensure that we get the pictures we want.

Nick is an expert photographer and teacher - with 30 years experience as an advertising and editorial photographer, he has proven ability and the knowledge to help even advanced photographers improve their technique, camera settings and presentation of their photographs.

From camera setup to effective gimbal use through to image processing, everyone will take plenty of knowledge away from these trips, together with a set of beautiful pictures.

Much of the holiday is hide-based with no challenging terrain to negotiate.

Sensible outdoor clothing is recommended. We can provide advice on suitable and sensibly priced options.
