The morning starts by learning how to take great wildlife photos at the Walkabout Creek Wildlife Centre, including an assortment of birds in the rainforest aviary, Pretty-faced Wallabies with their joeys and other native wildlife. 

After lunch, there is a session reviewing some of the photos taken so far, where Michael and Mark will give their feedback on how they are progressing.  This will include suggestions on any improvements that may be needed.  The next session is aimed at helping improve your digital workflow and post-processing, followed by basic techniques that will show you how to bring the best out of your photos. 

The highlight of the day is photography of tame native wildlife at a private breeder’s collection.  Some of the native wildlife species that we will photograph (depending on availability on the day) include:

• Green Tree Frog and/or Magnificent Tree Frog or Green and Gold Tree Frog 
• Knob-tailed or Leaf-tailed Gecko
• Bearded dragon and/or Rainforest dragon
• Blue-tongued Skink and/or Stumpy-tailed Lizard
• Carpet Python and/or some other species of Python

This rare opportunity allows you to capture close-up photos of some of Australia’s most unique wildlife, many of which are virtually impossible to photograph in the wild.
