British wildlife photography courses

[Veldranian]

I'm only 14 I want to go on a wildlife photography course which includes deer. I've got about £300. I want it to be near to Herefordshire or Shropshire. If you could help that would be great.

i'd save your money and just head to a park with deer during october - thats the rutt season and its really easy to get close

Ok doyou know I'd Attingham park is good to see deer in the rut?

I dont know shropshire/hereforrdshire i'm afraid - someone will probably know* , or you could call the Trust team at Attingham and ask 01743 708123


google tells us that mortimer forest has a large fallow population but i have no first hand knowledge of that.

*edit : I notice that you've already asked this question on the 3rd of september and 'The Woodsman' has advised you that attingham is a good herd to practice on.
that being the case i'm not sure why i'm wasting my time given that you've already had the info once

Oh. You young things with money burning a hole in you're pockets.
Seriously though as above SAVE YOU'RE MONEY for something really worthwile.
Three ideas from me.
1) contact you're local photographic society or clubs. there is a wealth of knowlege to be had for free and hopefully a friendly atmosphere and training.
2) If you want a formal qualification out of it. try the local further education centres. most run evening/weekend courses in all aspects of photography.
3) look out for local nature groups again lots of us old crinklies with a wealth of knowlege to pass on and possibly day trips to other locations.
Ask at you're local library see if they have any local contacts which may be of use.
Above all enjoy it and maybe try something different you never know it may even be fun!!
best wishes for the future. hope you succede in all you desire. AND DO NOT FORGET to post you're best pictures on the wab website.
regards tn.

I'm with the others - save your money for the moment or spend it on some equipment.

Watch the "WAB meetings" and come if you can. There is always a wealth of expertise there. And some younger people; not just all 'old crinklies'.

Good advice. I've learnt plenty on WAB trips and hanging about with other photographers you really do pick up a lot.
