Nikon School at Melbourne Zoo (19 and 24 August 2017)

Nikon in partnership with Melbourne Zoo and as part of the Photo Ark exhibition, provided the opportunity to get some expert advice on wildlife photography from award winning photographer Jay Town and the chance to play with some of their cool gear. Naturally, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try out some different gear and to get some expert advice on how to make more from our current gear. We loved the idea so much that we signed up to do the course twice and both times got great advice and really learnt something, so this post covers both sessions.

The course started with a brief presentation from Jay.

Family catch up at Melbourne Zoo (30 June 2017)

One of the best things about being members of Zoos Victoria is the fact that we have unlimited entry every day of the year. This means that we can catch up with family at the zoo, have a great time together wandering the zoo and seeing the animals, and, the best part is that none of us have to clean the house before or after the catch up.

Of course, I naturally go in extra early to get a chance to take some photos before the rest of the family arrives, so I can concentrate on spending time with them too.
