AN INTRODUCTION TO THIS PHOTO WORKSHOP

Every serious bird and nature photographer should visit Churchill at least once in a lifetime. This tour has been scheduled to coincide with the burst of life that occurs in June. Birds will be everywhere and it is light for 18 hours a day in Churchill at this time of year. We’ll be doing a whole lot of photography!

In June the frozen tundra springs to life. As the ice melts birds arrive mating and nesting begins and chicks start to hatch. Beautiful wildflowers blossom everywhere creating fantastic backdrops. We will be photographing amazing birds like Pacific Loons, American Golden Plovers and Common Eiders. There will be plenty of opportunities for flight shots as well as portrait. We will teach you everything you need to know to capture that coveted action shot!
