点评:I booked a 1-2-1 photography workshop, having previously attended workshops at other wildlife parks which didn’t turned out to be helpful or enjoyable, I was a little apprehensive, but there certainly wasn’t any need to be worried.
Shortly after meeting Alma, their lead photographer, I knew I was in safe hands and the day was going to be something special. Alma, took time to understand my level of experience, what I was hoping to get out of the day and any worries I had. As we headed out to meeting the cats all of my worriers disappeared.
Alma gave me the confidence to try different shots and camera settings, never making me feel silly for asking questions. Her knowledge of the cats made the day even more special, she chatted and introduced me to her friends (the cats) always reassuring them as we accessed spaces normally off limits to guests. This helped me understand their personalities and behaviours and in turned they allowed me to take some excellent photos.
All of the staff on site were brilliant and friendly, they worked hard to ensure the cats were ok and their guests had the best day possible.
Lunch in the restaurant was lovely, all freshly prepared and great selection of choose from.
This definitely won’t be my only visit / photography workshop, next time I hope to stay in the one of the beautiful lodges that have recently been updated.
I cannot recorded this workshop highly enough to photographers of all levels.
翻译:我预订了一个一对一的摄影工作坊。之前我在其他野生动物园参加过一些工作坊,但都没什么帮助,也没什么乐趣,所以这次我有点忐忑。不过事实证明,我的担心完全是多余的。
见到他们的首席摄影师阿尔玛后不久,我就知道自己找对了人,而且这一天一定会非常特别。阿尔玛花时间了解我的摄影经验水平、我希望从这一天获得什么以及我有哪些顾虑。当我们出发去见猫科动物时,我所有的担忧都烟消云散了。
阿尔玛鼓励我尝试不同的拍摄角度和相机设置,她从不让我因为提问而感到尴尬。她对猫科动物的了解让这一天更加精彩。她和我聊天,把我介绍给她的朋友们(猫科动物们),在我们进入通常不对游客开放的区域时,她总是安抚它们。这让我更好地了解了它们的性格和习性,而它们也配合我拍下了一些非常棒的照片。
现场所有工作人员都非常出色且友善,他们尽心尽力确保猫咪们一切安好,并尽力让客人度过美好的一天。
餐厅的午餐很棒,所有菜肴都是新鲜烹制的,而且选择丰富。
这绝对不会是我最后一次来这里参加摄影工作坊,下次我希望入住最近翻新过的漂亮小屋。
我强烈推荐这次摄影工作坊,适合所有水平的摄影师。
