BAINES RIVER CAMP:
Zambia
August 8 - 13, 2008
The exclusive Baines River Camp is situated on the Zambian side of the mighty Zambezi River and consists of 6 Victorian cottages overlooking the river. There is a central dining and conference facility and it is here that our workshops take place. These 5-night/4-day workshops are quite special in that much of the photography is done from a boat. Both in the field and back at base the focus will be on composition, visual complexity, focal point placement and image depth. We also deal with camera controls and photographic principles. Early mornings, late afternoons and early evenings are spent shooting images, during which we deal with working a subject, anticipating animal behavior, keeping the camera steady, lens choice and effects and camera features such as motion, blur and fill flash. Cost: $2,625 per person and this includes everything at the camp, a copy of one of our coffee table books, course notes and a certificate on completing the workshop.
