Wildlife photography promo tour

Together with our partners from Photosynthesis we invite you along to capture the beauty of the nature through the lens instead of in the optical sight, to preserve and show it rather than destroy it. "Take photos! Don’t kill! " is the motto of the project which Photosynthesis started in 2011 and continued with a series of workshops and competitions.

The photo hunting in the Eastern Rhodopes is an amazing experience, and this time we will show you the newest shelter for observation and photographing of wildlife, that NTG built in Hunting reserve "Studen Kladenets", near the village of Gorno pole and Kostilkovo. They are part of our program for the development of photographic and ecotourism in the Eastern Rhodopes.

Besides the stationary shelters we have mobile and camouflaged shelters for photographing of songbirds and black storks.

Our invitation to all photographers with affinity and skills in capturing wildlife and its inhabitants. Anyone who wants can send us at least 4 shots of wildlife at its discretion and benefit from the special fee for participation in the symposium (how to take advantage of the special price click here).

Each of you could also state a desire to present a project or just to share with other participants valuable and useful information related to the photographing of wild animals and the promotion of this type of photography.
