Birds & Wildlife Photography
from a Floating Hide
Floating Hide Photoworkshop – An Unforgettable Experience of Nature at Lake Kerkini
Exclusive. Intensive. Unforgettable.
Small groups with a maximum of 4 participants – for maximum photographic freedom and individual care.
Suitable for beginners as well as for ambitious nature photographers.
Immerse yourself in a completely new world of wildlife photography – in the truest sense of the word. Together with myself, George Blonsky and in collaboration with Brigitte Petras & Karl Schauer we are pleased to be able to offer you an extraordinary workshop photographing wildlife from a floating hide.
Floating Hides allow us to glide silently through the water – only with waders and cameras – entering the world of the animals we normally only see from the shoreline. At eye level with flamingos, pelicans and herons, you will have the opportunity to create images impossible from the shore.
Addiction factor guaranteed!
In October, there is a very special light above Lake Kerkini in the north of Greece. Early fog, soft autumn colours and smooth water offer perfect conditions for unique shots.
The lake is a true paradise for bird photographers:
- Flamingos in large flocks
- many of the resident Dalmatian Pelicans
- Waders, ducks, herons
- kingfishers & birds of prey potentially.. White-tailed eagle, greater spotted eagle, marsh harriers and the like)
- With luck: Golden Jackals foraging along the shoreline
A unique nature reserve with Ramsar, Natura 2000 and national park status.
- Start and end point is Thessaloniki
