AMONG DUNES AND ROCKS IS AN UNDISCOVERED WORLD, FULL OF SCALES AND COLD BLOOD. THEIR CONSTANT SEARCH FOR SUN AND HEAT LEADS THEM TO SEARCH IN STONES AND ROCKS FOR THE HEAT THAT THEY STORE AND SLOWLY RELEASE.
The Mindelo Reserve is a natural refuge that is home to a diversity of reptiles, including lizards and snakes. During the photography trip, participants will have the opportunity to explore the reserve's varied habitats. Participants will learn specific techniques for reptile photography, such as the use of telephoto lenses and macro lenses, the importance of natural and artificial lighting, and the quiet and respectful approach to minimizing disturbance to the animals. This program is ideal for those who want to deepen their knowledge about reptiles and develop their photography skills in a natural and preserved environment.

Experience Level
Everyone is welcome, although the tour is aimed at photographers with reflex cameras (with or without a mirror) and telephoto lenses, with experience in wildlife photography. I recommend that you have some familiarity with your camera, as I don't know all the existing models and you may have to change some settings to try a new technique.
Before departure, in the briefing and during the walk, you will have the opportunity to discuss the settings, I will give you several tips to make the most of the tour and you are free to ask any questions.
