Are You Frustrated With Inconsistent Results In Your Wildlife Photography?
Do you feel stuck with unpredictable outcomes, missing the magic of the moment despite your best efforts?
Picture this: you have a perfect sunrise with a moose grazing in the distance. You raise your camera, but by the time you’re ready, the moment is gone. Or worse - you take the shot, but the image falls flat, failing to capture the wonder you saw with your own eyes.
It’s frustrating to feel a disconnect between what you see and what your camera captures.
But what if you never had to feel that way again- starting now?
Turn Missed Opportunities Into Breathtaking Images
Our immersive full day adventure is perfect for photographers of all skill levels and gives you the tools, confidence, and connection you need to capture your best images yet.
This isn’t a cookie-cutter workshop. We don’t just take you to pre-determined locations, snap a few quick photos, and move on. We dive into your camera settings, teach you how to anticipate wildlife behaviour, and capture images that honour the environment.
Learn the ethics of wildlife photography and explore new techniques for capturing stunning wildlife and landscape images. With all park fees and transportation within the park included, you can fully immerse yourself in nature and focus on enhancing your photography.
Join us for a day of adventure, learning, and inspiration in one of Canada’s most beautiful settings.
Over the years, we've had the honour of helping photographers discover the beauty and importance of ethical wildlife photography through our workshops.
Rough Itinerary
Morning:
Algonquin Park Game Drive
Our journey kicks off just before sunrise with a pick-up from your hotel in Huntsville or a nearby location. We'll make a quick stop at the local Tim Hortons for a fresh coffee or tea, then begin our scenic drive through Algonquin Park. Early morning often offers the best chances for wildlife sightings, so we'll keep our eyes open. As dawn breaks, we'll be ready to capture breathtaking landscapes while discussing camera settings and composition to enhance your photography skills. Mid-morning, we'll head to the small town of Whitney for a leisurely breakfast, the perfect time to relax and chat about our morning adventures. Please note, this trip is by vehicle and by foot only. We do not offer canoeing or kayaking as part of our activities.
Afternoon:
Tailored Nature Exploration
After a morning filled with exploration, we'll take the opportunity to either stretch our legs with gentle walks or continue exploring by vehicle, tailored to your group's preferences and interests. Whether you prefer a leisurely stroll, a bit more adventure, or more time driving to various spots, we'll guide you to some of our favourite scenic locations, including picturesque waterfalls and rapids, perfect for experimenting with long exposures to create whimsical effects. Wildlife remains a top priority throughout our journey, and we’ll stay alert for spontaneous sightings, making stops to observe and photograph these magical moments as they occur. We'll also share our top spots for wildlife viewing, ensuring you're inspired to return time and again!
Evening:
Dinner and Game Drive
As the day unfolds, we'll stop for dinner in the late afternoon. This break is more than just a meal, it's a time to share stories from the day and recap what you’ve learned so far. After dinner, we'll embark on another game drive, as dusk often provides excellent chances for wildlife sightings. We’ll observe the conditions and the group’s energy, and adjust our itinerary accordingly. Then, we'll begin the final leg of our return journey to your destination. We'll drop you off at your hotel, wrapping up a day filled with nature, photography, and inspiration!
Maximize Your Shooting Time With Local Knowledge
Our intimate knowledge of the area, combined with our commitment to ethical practices, allows us to guide you to the best spots and times for potential sightings, offering a truly memorable experience. Although wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed because Algonquin Park is not a zoo, our expertise as local residents and our deep connection to the park will maximize your chances of capturing stunning images during your visit.

Ethical Wildlife Photography
Start your adventure in Algonquin Park by learning your camera settings and composition techniques, all while respecting wildlife and their habitats.
You'll learn ethical practices as a core skill, including how to minimize your impact on the environment by avoiding baiting, keeping a respectful distance, and protecting vulnerable locations. You’ll learn how to photograph responsibly and leave no trace, so you can honour nature while expanding your portfolio. -
Learn Animal Tracking
Gain the ability to interpret common signs of animal activity, such as tracks and scat, which will help you anticipate animal behaviour and position yourself for optimal photographic opportunities.
By understanding these signs, you'll be better equipped to spot and photograph elusive wildlife, and enhance your chances of capturing memorable moments.
We’ll look for patterns in the snow, disturbed brush, and other natural clues that often go unnoticed - turning every walk in the forest into a guided search for the stories nature leaves behind.
-
The Magic of Waterfalls
If visiting waterfalls interests you, during our journey through Algonquin, we’ll visit waterfalls and rapids where you can learn to blur motion using long exposure techniques. This is a great introduction to this style of shooting, and we’ll experiment with filters and abstract compositions.
Understanding long exposure techniques will add a new dimension to your photography, enabling you to capture the dynamic beauty of moving water in creative and visually stunning ways.
