For this 1:1 tuition workshop on Black-necked Grebes we will be working at water level to photograph these gorgeous birds in Springtime during their courtship behaviour. This workshop will be held at a location where on average 10-20 pairs of Black-necked Grebes are nesting. As these birds are not very shy you will have plenty of opportunities to photograph them in their natural surroundings.
I will be running my Black-necked Grebe One to Ones in Springtime from end of March to end of May. We will be working from the water’s edge and the birds will get within 5-10 meters from us up to 50 meters so working with a focal length of between 300mm and 600mm will be ideal.Furthermore a beanbag or tripod wich can be lowered to ground level (or groundpod) is recommended. Other birds in this area will be Mallards, Gadwall, Bluethroat, Reed Warbler, Great-crested Grebes and Mute Swans.
