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 guest, 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.
The stars of the day were of course the birds and they were shown to their full potential by Chris Neal. His and Janette’s experience as great photographers saw to it that we had wonderful and very natural situations to record. It has to be said the weather was decidedly unkind to man and bird alike but that only really became apparent after we had finished photography for the day. I whole-heartedly recommend this workshop, it was a marvellous day out. Thank you Janette and Chris.
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.
Before the trip, I was anticipating long hours in cold hides, waiting for a fleeting glimpse of a bear. However, on our first night in the main hide, I was pleasantly surprised when the bears arrived in numbers and stayed throughout the course of the evening. (This was also the case on our last night in the evening hide.) During our time at Martinselkenen, we also spent a couple of evenings in the swamp and forest pro-hides, which provided a more dramatic setting in which to photograph the bears that wandered through (if a slightly more challenging environment in which to do so). I also found the daily walks through the ancient forest to the hides a unique and memorable experience in itself.
Janette and the staff at the attractive, family-run centre are friendly and experienced, and I would have no hesistation in recommending this trip to anyone. We’re already looking forward to our next trip with Natural Wonders Photography.
