Falkland Islands Photo Adventure

The Falklands are a wildlife magnet. Sometimes referred to as the Galapagos of the South Atlantic, the Falklands are one of the best locations in the world for bird photography. Five species of penguins, many species of song birds, water birds, and birds of prey, and all are approachable and easy to photograph. Think of the excitement of sitting next to a lively penguin colony, waves crashing against rocky cliffs, while envisioning compositions galore—with no time pressure. Action photography is outstanding as penguins launch themselves from breaking waves and scramble ashore. And just when you think it can’t get any better, you find yourself engulfed—point blank—by these curious and feisty birds!

​

We'll be visiting the top photography sites that are appropriate for the season. Penguins will have plenty of small to large chicks. Black-browed Albatrosses should have small chicks. Elephant Seal pups are weaned, and may be going to sea, attracting Orcas. Songbirds and many shorebirds will be nesting, and most ducks and geese will be raising young. The month of January is usually great for all kinds of bird chicks.

This tour is ideal for photographers who have traveled with Nikhil before or any intermediate to advanced photographers who are comfortable with their gear. There will be no formal presentations but Nikhil will provide plenty of ideas and instruction in the field. There will also be image reviews and sharing to keep you thinking of fresh ways to approach the abundant subjects on location and improve your photography.
