Back in April I signed up for a birds of prey photography workshop that was sponsored by Marathon sports and social club. Basically it was a weekend get away where you got go take a photography course in the Czech Republic and have a day seeing Prague at the end. Since Prague is one of my favorite cities and I am an avid photographer with little experience taking birds of prey photos, this sounded like the perfect opportunity!! The entire weekend package was airfare, hotel, and workshop for 400 pounds, another great deal!
We flew out of Aberdeen on Friday and arrived in Prague early afternoon. We were met by our photography workshop guides and transferred to the hotel in the country side of the Czech Republic. Saturday and Sunday were spent in the field taking pictures of some magnificent birds and learning about rescue and conservation efforts by some local falconers. It was truly a great experience and I think I have improved my photography abilities, just a little.
After wrapping up the photography workshop on Sunday we headed back to Prague. A group of us went out to dinner in the old square and then I played tour guide to some co-workers on Monday before our flight out that evening.
Here are a few of my favorite shots from the weekend.
If you are interested in taking the same photography workshop or any others, the company we booked through is Tatra Photography and they do workshops all over the world!
