Montana Wildlife Animal Shoot
February 22nd - 27th 2018

Do you love photographing wildlife, but often find it frustrating because you don’t have the time and/or money required to find them in the wild? Do you also find zoo animals hard to photograph because of all the fences and unnatural surroundings? Having traveled the world to many exotic locations: It's expensive and often the wildlife opportunities can be very unreliable. The solution is to join us on a workshop to a respected game farm where well cared for animals are photographed in very natural surroundings with relatively short lenses. For our photography sessions with all the wildlife species, the most commonly used lens is a 70-200.
Join expert photographer Jerome Hamilton for an outstanding opportunity to learn and work with one of the best photographers/instructors around. This workshop is scheduled to take advantage of cool winter temperatures when the animals thick fur coats are at their prime and the snow makes a perfect backdrop.
Wildlife species may include, Siberian Tiger, Mountain Lion, Coyote, Artic Foxes, Snow Leopard, Wolves, Siberian Lynx, Red Foxes and much more.
Jerome is well known for his photographic expertise and his ability to teach and explain techniques in simple everyday language everyone understands.

Optional Horse Shoot
This is an opportunity to photograph horse portraits with and without riders in snowy outdoor setting. There should be opportunities with horses in a single formation and in a herd…round up style. We will have wranglers that will group the horses together and run the horses through the snow! Working with the horses safely the wranglers will have them run towards the photographers and across the front of the photographers for the best possible images you could image!

Optional Birds of Prey Shoot
A unique opportunity to create stunning photographs of magnificent Birds of Prey under controlled conditions. You can expect to photograph a variety of raptors. It is not always possible to determine what birds will be available until the time of the shoot. Past shoots have included a variety of birds including: American Kestrel Falcons, Barn Owls, Northern Barred Owls, Great Gray Owls, Great Horned Owls, Saw Whet Owls, Pygmy Owls and Short-eared Owls.
