Have you tried photographing North American wildlife or exotic African and Asian animals but found it frustrating because capturing dramatic wildlife images requires a long telephoto lens? Or perhaps wildlife photography has always been one of your dreams, but you’ve never had the opportunity because it’s expensive traveling to natural areas — plus wildlife spotting opportunities at these locales are often unreliable and fleeting.

One solution to learn new techniques or make your wildlife photography dreams come true is to join a photo tour to a well-known, respected game ranch where well-cared for animals can be photographed in beautiful natural surroundings.

Join Canon Explorer of Light Adam Jones, for an exceptional opportunity to learn and work with one of the best photographers and instructors around. This Wildlife Photography Workshop is timed to take advantage of cool winter temperatures when the animals have thick fur coats. Even better, Canon will be there with lots of gear, so you get to try different equipment and don’t even need to own a telephoto lens to participate.

Wildlife encountered may include mountain lion bobcat, lynx, wolves, bears, snow leopard, Amur leopard, coyote, Arctic fox, and red fox — and even a Siberian tiger!

Canon Live Learning Destination Workshops let you access exclusive experiences where you can develop skills and create lifelong memories. In just a few short days, these fun, hands-on workshops will expand your portfolio, create prints of your favorite images and help you make new friends.

You’ll be alongside seasoned photography pros, ready to answer any question—and provide expert advice on how to bring your visions to life, how to maximize your camera’s functions and get creative with lenses.

In this intimate setting, you’ll have easy access to Adam Jones as well as the Canon Live Learning support staff. Whether you’re shooting waterfalls in Yosemite, gators in Florida, or horses in Kentucky – you’ll have all the attention you need to further to develop your skills.

You’ll not only shoot with the best instructors—you’ll shoot with the best gear! Workshop attendees can access a range of Canon “dream gear,” including the latest EOS cameras and lenses, with Canon instructors ready to offer their technical and creative assistance every step of the way.
