About this Event
Wildlife Photography Workshop—31 October 2026
Everyone has a camera or phone these days, and whether at home or on holiday, we love to take pictures of people, landscapes, buildings, animals and birds.
If you’d like to take better wildlife photos, this workshop at the London Wetland Centre in Barnes is perfect for you—and a wonderful way to spend a Saturday lunchtime!
The sessions run from 1000-1400 and will give you the chance to learn the theory and practice behind great wildlife photography. After a slideshow and talk in the café, you’ll get a chance to take pictures at the otter feeding and various hides and ponds to capture the local birdlife—and there’s even a Chinese crocodile lizard! Finally, we’ll all meet back in the café for a review with feedback—and a mystery prize for the best photo!
The price is £100, and that includes a FREE day pass to the London Wetland Centre worth up to £19.95. I can even lend you a camera if you need one!
