Birds of Prey Photography Workshops in Gloucestershire with Authentic Adventures

Birds of prey in focus
The International Centre for Birds of Prey presents unparalleled opportunities for bird photographers. From portraits to flight shots, exotic raptors make fascinating subjects.

The aim of the day is to examine camera techniques for creating images that reflect the nobility and drama of these predators.

Whatever your ability, we aim to explore ways of using manual settings to generate specific effects. This will include creating portraits as well as capturing the flight shots during the public flying demonstrations.
