Natural Wonders Photography provides the opportunity for everyone from complete beginners to professionals to experience the wonders of the natural world in many different locations in the UK and overseas. All locations are chosen to enable you, the client, to obtain great images from the best possible position and settings. Our aim is always for you to have a great experience in a relaxed and friendly way.
Ash our guide and Sajid our driver were simply the best and managed to get us a number of fantastic Tiger encounters . We saw a wide variety of Tiger behaviour , including a Tigress devouring her Prey , a mother with her three cubs bathing in the water and a huge male wallowing in a waterhole to cool down. I had set my heart on seeing a Sloth Bear and the team certainly delivered as after hard search they found me a mother with her two cubs which for me was one of the highlights of the trip. In addition to the large mammals there is a cornucopia of wildlife in the park: Golden Jackals, Wild Boar, Parakeets, various Owls , Palm Squirrel and Langur Monkey , all in incredibly beautiful settings. We paid extra for a half day permit in the park which if one can stand the heat I would recommend as one can go anywhere in the park and as there are so few of these permits issued one gets very private encounters with the Tigers.
You do not have to be an experienced photographer to enjoy this trip. I am a beginner but with Janette’s advice on settings and endless patience and kindness in helping me with the camera’s mysterious workings I achieved some great photos. I would return in a heartbeat and will definitely be going on another adventure with Janette as this was such a wonderful experience.
Always putting the welfare of the animals first, they still manage to give you such a diverse set of images to come away with using a seemingly endless supply of props to give you the best possible pictures.
Geoff’s tireless interaction and effort with the animals to get them in the right poses and Roy giving you all the technical help you may need setting up your camera to get the best out of your day makes the experience very special.
A superb relaxed run macro workshop with great sandwiches for lunch and the follow up email with all the details about the animals used for the shoot. I thoroughly recommend this workshop to others.
Janette and Claire are perfect photographers by their selves and know exactly where to find the best locations based on the weather conditions you have to do with in landscape photography. Everybody received exactly the help they needed varying from advising the best spots to go at the shooting locations for the experienced photographers to help in post processing images in Photoshop and Lightroom and technical handling of your camera for the less experienced attendants.
Besides this they both were fantastic hosts during the hours between the shoots, always busy to make everything as comfortable for you as possible and giving a helping hand for all your needs. I also should not forget to mention the fantastic home cooking food served every day.
