Default Anyone done this Bats & Fill-In Flash Photographic Workshop?

I quite fancy this Bats & Fill-In Flash Photographic Workshop at the Cotswold Wildlife Park in Burford, Oxfordshire. Has anyone ever been there and done it? Long shot I know.

Nope, so consider this a <bump>. To a non-bat lover, it seems expensive to shoot something that isn't all that good looking in the first place?

Flash exposure isn't all that difficult a thing to learn if you're willing to get off Auto & think for yourself:
Simple "every-day-emergency" location lighting

Thanks, it wasn't really the flash thing it was the opportunity to see and photograph bats, and here's the important bit, whilst the rest of the zoo is a perfect opportunity to busy my wife to let me get on with it

Thanks for the links too

Good luck with that! Those little buggers don't fly in a straight line.
