Workshops & Press Conference
Day one of the event kicked off with workshops and talks by invited judges and nature conservationists touching both photography and birding and of course, insights into nature tourism. To the excitement of many, the workshops on day one were both innovative and creative with a mixture of comedy in between. The speakers for the workshop were birder-photographer Choo Tse Chien, Malaysia’s very first digital ‘videoscoper’ Tee Lian Huat, master macrophotographer Kurt Orion and also Malaysian Nature (MNS) Society head of communications, Andrew Sebastian. From the workshop, race participants were given new tips on photography and how to approach subjects and produce great photographs.
