Join us as we explore Epping Forest and discover more about the nature and wildlife that lives here.

Discover how to capture the glorious autumn colours and achieve interesting photographs of the season’s woodland flora and fauna. Very often the image we take with our camera doesn’t reflect the same feelings of awe and beauty we felt when viewing the scene. Demystify your camera and find out how to take good close-up pictures using different angles. At the end of the session there will be a chance to see the results and some tips on post-processing to help make a good image great.
