We are back again and now officially taking bookings for 2025!! 📸

We have also expanded the dates and now have Friday and Saturday options.

Are you new to photography or aiming to expand your knowledge past the automatic camera settings? Do you love photographing animals and birds?

The Learn Photography full day course with Drew Cunningham and Grant Keelan is aimed at photography for beginners, amateurs and enthusiasts who want to learn the basic elements of photography.

The first half of the day will teach participants to take a better photo through creative compositional techniques and colour theory, whilst the second half of the day focuses on the more technical aspects of capturing a photo utilising the exposure triangle.

During the class you will have exclusive access to explore Fife Zoo, including VIP experiences of select animals with a Zoo Keeper:

Meerkats
Lemurs
Tortoises
Armadillos
African birds
Zebras

ℹ️ What you need to know:

All participants are encouraged to bring their own camera (ideally an SLR), the minimum requirement is a phone camera with pro settings (iso / aperture / shutter speed)

Africafé is available at Fife Zoo for Lunch (https://buff.ly/3D1OfSz) , but you are welcome to bring food and drink with you

The classes are suited to anyone 16 and older

Small classes of 10 max guarantee a decent amount of time with the animals

Appropriate clothing is essential. Make sure you have a jacket and the correct shoes in case the weather takes a turn. There are indoor and outdoor enclosures, so classes will go ahead whatever the weather.

All bookings dates and details are available at the link below, or you can contact Drew directly with any queries:

White-Faced Sakis are an important seed disperser for many plants 🌱

They eat mainly fruit, and they have robust incisors and canines to break through the tough skins and shells. They also eat seeds, nuts, leaves, and insects.

Some of our animals are more difficult to spot than others...

Sun beetles stay in the grub stage for 3-5 months. They then pupate for approximately 5 weeks before emerging as a fully formed sun beetle 🪲

Our armadillos have a nest box each, but they choose to share 🥰

Armadillos are excellent diggers! In the wild, they dig U-shaped burrows with a single opening, often in the search for food.
