The vast untouched forest along the Finnish-Russian border is a stronghold of the brown bear. Europe’s other large predators – wolverines and wolves – live here too and we use specialist hides to watch, film and photograph them.
The nearby lake and rich landscape around the lodge provide the perfect backdrop for short daytime camera technique workshops, as well as the chance to practice and refine techniques while seeking out some of the other wildlife that lives here, like red squirrels and birds. In these informal sessions, your expert guide will cover a range of techniques, including macro, timelapse and long lens filming, as well as the editing process. There will also be the chance to see how camera traps can be used to capture hidden and intimate moments.
The real focus of the trip will be the evening sessions in the hides, and with more than 20 hours of daylight in midsummer, we have lots of light to work with.
Fortunately, with filming, we don’t have to worry about noisy camera shutters, but it is still essential that we keep quiet at all times in the hides to give ourselves the best chance of enjoying long views of bears and seeing the more transient wolverine and wolf.
Beyond the filming and photography, this trip is a wonderful chance to immerse ourselves in a wild forest landscape while learning about and connecting with the wildlife that lives here.
This tour has been created for anyone who feels inspired or intrigued to learn how to film wildlife, to capture more than just photographs or to build their video portfolio. And the great thing about modern DSLR, mirrorless and bridge cameras is that they offer excellent video quality and the ability to effortlessly switch between video and still modes. So, if you’re already enjoying your photography, there’s little need to worry about whether you have the right camera for this trip. A fluid tripod head is the more important piece of equipment to think about bringing.
