content
Our photography safaris are tailored to suit your requirements but these are some of the areas we aim to cover; basic camera controls, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, composition, exposure, use of filters and in-camera processing.
what to bring
The weather conditions in the Scottish Highlands are renowned for having four seasons in one day, so please come well prepared with suitable walking boots or sturdy shoes, warm clothing and waterproofs. In our experience, such variation in weather often adds to the magic and mystique of your images. You will also need to bring along snacks and refreshments and a packed lunch if you are joining us for a full day safari, although we can sample the local hospitality and stop for a hot lunch should the opportunity arise.
