About the event

This is your perfect chance to try the NEW Sony 100-400mm F4.5 G Master lens out in the wildlife with some of Symbio's incredible wildlife. 

Each guest of this workshop will have the opportunity to use the new lens for the duration of the walking workshop

Join wildlife photographer and Sony Digital Imaging Advocate Brett Lobwein for this walking photography workshop. Brett has worked extensively with wildlife and his work has featured on the BBC TV Show Deadly 60, ABC, Australian Geographic and many other publications. 

Brett has been lucky enough to have tested the new lens out for the last few weeks and months in the wild. So he will be able to ensure you are quickly getting the best out of the lens the minute we walk into the park. 

During this 90 minute walking workshop we will have the opportunity to photograph many Australia signature species like Koala, Kangaroo, Wallabies, even Quokkas. The park also has many exotic species like Meerkats, Red Pandas and Cheetah.

Symbio Wildlife Park has done an incredible job to ensure that many of the enclosures are designed with plants, natural perches and open backgrounds. This will help us capture more natural wildlife imges without the typical zoo cages.
