This landscape oriented photography workshop takes place between the 8th and 11th May at Didima Camp - one of Ezemvelo Wildlife’s premier camps. The workshop caters to photographers who have a little more than basic photography skills and are wanting to hone their landscape abilities. In particular the workshop concentrates on landscape composition, use of filters, HDR blending and star trails (if weather permits).

A strong focus of the workshop is in leader - photographer feedback, and various critique sessions are built into the workshop where participants are able to discuss images that are shot during the course of each day.
