Tour Summary
Join us on an exclusive photographic expedition through the heart of Crocodile Dundee country.
Test the latest Canon loan equipment while exploring ancient cultural landscapes to capture epic wildlife moments. Snap up irresistible subjects under personalised guidance from your professional Canon Collective photography tour leaders and expert local wildlife guides at NT Bird Specialists.
You’ll be immersed in endless wild photography opportunities aboard 2 exclusive private cruises on the famous Yellow Water Billabong and visit two ancient Aboriginal cultural sites adorned with rock art, occupation sites and living cultural histories (dating back 65,000 years in the region). Dramatic and iconic sandstone outcrops make for unforgettable landscape shots, especially accompanied with a low-setting sun glowing on the rock and vast floodplains down below.
During five full days of field workshops and tutorials, you can learn and trial creative photography techniques in diverse and remote World Heritage landscapes. Intimate knowledge and super-sharp eyes from your local guide, Luke Paterson, will ensure you’re positioned well to make the most of your time with Canon Collective Ambassadors. Sunrise, sunset, landscape, wildlife and of course bird photography will be covered. We tailor our sessions to suit all photography experience levels from beginners to advanced.
This is the perfect opportunity to meet like-minded photographers and ask those tricky questions that can save you hours of research, trial and error, but best of all, take some incredible photos with a wide range of Canon set ups.
Sign up today and join Canon Collective Ambassadors and NT Bird Specialists, the Top End’s best birding and wildlife team, for an annual Top End Nature & Wildlife Photography Expedition you’ll never forget.
