For those traveling from outside Campbell River, you have many accommodation options in and around town. If you have any difficulties in deciding, give us a call or an email and we can help you out.
Transportation is not included in the workshop fee. Participants are responsible for arranging their own transportation, each day, there will be a meeting spot and time depending on the weather and recent sightings in the region.
The workshops start time is fully dependant upon the tide schedule that day. We will let you know closer to date of the exact start time. We will break in the afternoons to get lunch and have a bathroom break.
Breakfast: (not included) Before we leave on the boat for the day, we want to meet with everyone at least 1 hour prior to heading out. This hour will be a dedicated workshop where we will go over camera settings and post processing (lesson will depend on the workshop date). The location of this meeting spot will be known to you at a later date. This will allow us to give a short presentation on learning objectives and answer any questions you may have before setting out.
Lunch: (included) The tide times will determine when we stop for lunch. Depending on the tide times that day, we may stop before the Eagle Show or after. Our boat driver will dock us at a beautiful location to enjoy our lunch with a view. Lunch will be provided by Jared and Travis.
Dinner: (not included) After we are done shooting for the day, we will all meet up at a restaurant and have dinner together (optional). This has been a major highlight on our previous workshops. We highly recommend attending.
Please Note: The breakfast and dinner schedules may get switched around as we are dependant upon the tide schedule for the day.
Throughout the workshop, expect personalized instruction tailored to your skill level and goals. Whether you’re a beginner eager to grasp the fundamentals or an experienced photographer seeking advanced techniques, Jared is here to assist you every step of the way.
Camera Equipment
– Camera body (DSLR or Mirrorless)
– Telephoto lenses: We would highly recommend a zoom telephoto lens. We would recommend a zoom instead of a prime because we will be on a boat and the eagles will be flying everywhere. You will want to be able to zoom in and out as the eagles fly close by and further away. A prime will restrict you. We would recommend the max focal length be no shorter than 400mm.
– Rain cover for camera and lens
– Camera cleaning kit ( air blower, microfibre cloth, ect)
– Spare batteries and memory cards
– Laptop and hard drive for storing photos
