Practical Bird Photography Workshop (Marievale)
Join us for a practical, in-the-field bird photography workshop at Marievale Bird Sanctuary, designed to help you turn theory into confident action. Under guidance, you’ll work directly in the hides and along the pathways, learning how to photograph birds in action. Marievale’s mix of waterbirds, waders, and reedbed species makes it one of Gauteng’s most rewarding locations to refine your timing, tracking, and composition skills.

You’ll learn how to:
Use the right shutter speeds, focus modes, and exposure settings to freeze fast bird action
Anticipate bird behaviour to capture take-offs, landings, and interactions
Compose stronger bird images in busy natural environments
Build a simple, repeatable field workflow you can use on any bird outing
