Experience Day: Wildlife - British Wildlife

Overview

Join Nikon School at the British Wildlife Centre where you will have the opportunity to capture stunning wildlife images. We have exclusive access to the Wildlife Centre and animals and will be guided at all times by an experienced keeper. This is a great opportunity to get really close to our native British wildlife, and in some instances, you will be able to enter the animals enclosures while under supervision of the keeper. You will also be accompanied by a Nikon trainer who will be on hand to discuss and demonstrate photography techniques and camera settings, as well as having some of the latest Nikon kit (if available) for you to try out on the day.

Latest course reviews...

AP IMAGING RESOURCES NATURE WORKSHOP REVIEW

The fact that the British Wildlife Centre was closed for this day meant that the 10 participants had exclusive access with a keeper & your experts to go inside the pens to shoot unhindered the animals. The organisation was excellent and I'm sure everyone got fantastic shots. We were offered help and advice by your team which along with the numerous lenses Nikon provided was a great opportunity to try before you buy. A first class experience.
