Join Sony Digital Imaging Advocates Fiona Wardle and Simon Pierce for an incredible wildlife photography experience!
We’ve teamed up with Dolphin Encounter Kaikōura to give you the oppotunity to photograph wild dusky dolphins in their natural habitat.
Fiona and Simon will be on hand throughout the workshop to provide photography tips and guidance. All levels of experience are welcome, whether you’re a seasoned shooter or just starting out with wildlife/underwater photography.
Please note: A good level of water confidence is essential. You’ll also need to bring and use your own underwater-capable camera (such as an action camera or your own camera housing).
