About the event

Isle of May - Puffin Wildlife Photography Workshop
Photograph Puffins and other wildlife on the beautiful Isle of May. Join Wildlife Photographer Paul McDougall on this 1 day workshop.

Join me for some puffin therapy!!
The Isle of May is a remarkable island which lies only 5 miles off the Fife coast and is an important National Nature Reserve owned and run by NatureScot (SNH) and is open for visitors from the beginning of April until the end of September, this is truly a beautiful Island, peaceful with stunning views everywhere.
NatureScot (SNH) have rangers stationed on the Isle of May during this time to make our visit more enjoyable and informative, they will greet you on the pier when you arrive, give a short talk on the latest information concerning the wildlife and they will also patrol the island during your visit. Isle of May is home to an incredible array of wildlife, up to 200,000 seabirds can nest on the May, which can include 100,000 Puffins, there are also large colonies of Guillemots, Razorbills, Kittiwakes and Shags (best time for Puffins is from April to end of July ) also about 300 seals live all year round on Isle of May. Porpoise and Dolphin and the odd whale can be seen, you just have to be on the trip on the right day and be a bit lucky. The duration of our time on the island depends very much on the tides. But is usually between 2 and 3 hours. During our visit we will look to capture images of the incredible and iconic puffins. We will have a set shot list that we will try to achieve in our short time on the island with the stand out shots being the puffins with sand eels and fish in their beaks.
As with all my workshops I will be on hand to give advice on settings and various different shots that can be achieved. The group will be a maximum of 4 people so there will be plenty of opportunities to work with everyone one on one if required.
The price is £125pp for the day. Including the cost of the boat trip On the day we will cover the following:
-Basic Camera Set Up
-Understanding Exposure
