ConSoc & PhotoSoc camping trip
Finally, the most awaited PhotoSoc trip of this year. Expect a weekend of camping, wildlife photography, camouflage, volunteering and lovely people!
We’ll be heading to Glen Tanar on Friday the 7th of April, camping and returning on the evening of the 8th. The first day we’ll be learning about wildlife photography, dressing up in camouflage, setting up camera traps and then practicing some wildlife photography before gathering for dinner back in the camp. The next morning, we’ll be waking up for sunrise to take some more wildlife photos before heading to do some conservation volunteering with the rangers. Afterwards we’ll be heading back to Aberdeen, arriving back in town at around 8-9pm.
