Invitation to all Birds in Flight Photographers in Cape Town / or new photographers interested in Birds in Flight photography

With our Macro / Close-Up Photography Workshop  now only scheduled for Saturday 2 July @ Intaka Island I will be doing an informal shoot & discussion next Saturday morning from +- 08:30 - 11:00 at Woodbridge Island.

This Birds in Flight Photography shoot is not a training session, just a walk-about opportunity for fine-tuning your own skills / settings. I'm happy to answer as many questions as possible. All camera bodies welcome. Minimum recommended lens length +- 300mm (a kit lens of 55-250mm is the absolute minimum).

There is no cost. Please dress warm. There are a few coffee shops on the Island should you want to stop by for a coffee after the shoot.


You do not have to RSVP for this event. We will just proceed at 09:00. I will meet everybody from 08:30 in front of the Milnerton Canoe Club - just over the Main Bridge to your right (between the two bridges). Map to Woodbridge Island

Perched Birds - Table Bay Nature Reserve / Woodbridge Island

After facilitating this past weekend's Macro & Close-Up Workshop at Intaka Island, Century City Cape Town, I took some time out this morning for my own photography. I went for a walkabout around the Table Bay Nature Reserve (just off Woodbridge Island) and captured a few perched birds - with my typical birds in flight settings.
