Highlights

The Hong Kong Bird Watching Society partners with OM SYSTEM again to bring a unique in-depth nature photography experience to Lantau Island. This workshop takes participants from the bustling city into the precious wetland ecosystem of Shui Hau. Key highlights include:

• Dual Experience: A perfect blend of professional indoor photography theory and an outdoor, hands-on night expedition.
• Ecological Discovery: Venture deep into the agricultural fields and mudflats of Shui Hau to seek out intertidal 'living fossils' and various nocturnal creatures.
• Professional Support: Free loan of professional photography equipment is provided, allowing both novices and photography enthusiasts to confidently capture precious moments in nature.

Program Overview

This workshop aims to enhance participants' awareness of ecological conservation through the lens of nature photography. The event is divided into two segments: an indoor theory class at the OM Digital Solutions Customer Service Centre in Mong Kok, where instructors will cover nocturnal ecology and camera techniques, followed by a field trip to Shui Hau. As dusk falls, participants will explore the farm fields and then venture into the mudflats for night observations. Round-trip coach service is included.
