THE DARK NIGHT CONTRAST WITH THE POOLS OF WATER WHERE THESE AMAZING CREATURES BREED. AMONG DUNES AND VEGETATION, WE WILL TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS LYING ON THE GROUND TRYING TO BE IMMERSED IN THE SECRET WORLD OF AMPHIBIANS.
Portugal is home to a rich diversity of amphibians, which inhabit everything from wetlands and riverbanks in the mountains to flooded fields and temporary lakes. During our photography trips, participants will have the opportunity to explore different habitats. These outings allow direct contact with wildlife, providing incredible moments of observation and photography in natural environments.
Throughout the experiment, participants will learn specific techniques for capturing the beauty and behaviors of amphibians, lighting management in low-light conditions, and precise focusing techniques to record the subtle movements of these animals. A respectful and silent approach is essential to minimize any disturbance and ensure the well-being of the species observed. This program is ideal for those who want to improve their photography skills and deepen their knowledge of amphibians, in a preserved and educational environment.
