What is the Loch Visions Experience?
You will be given a digital SLR camera and all other necessary equipment.
To start the day you will receive a one-hour tutorial from me, Philip
Price on the basics of photography and how to use the camera.
You will then spend half a day in any or all of Loch Visions' purpose
built photographic zones (see below) on the banks of Loch Awe. These
zones are designed to maximise the ease and opportunities of photographing
wild and natural subjects and include a purpose built vole and forest
bird hide, wild flower and butterfly meadow and loch side vantages.
I will be with you all day providing advice and tips when needed.
The afternoon will be spent in the digital suite where you will
download all your pictures, learn and try some easy tips on image
storage, printing and manipulation, taking away with you a CD containing
all your pictures, and one high quality printout of your favourite
shot.

Only long sleeve tops and long trousers and warm clothes if it is
cold, we provide everything else including lunch.
Can it be done if it is raining and what about the midges?
Yes! If it rains you can use the bird hide and we also put up rain
covers in 4 of our Zones. We provide full waterproofs, wellies and
midge repellent. Therefore no matter what the weather you can have
a good time, enjoying our charismatic wildlife and taking truly
