Photography enthusiasts, wildlife lovers and anyone who enjoys spending time in nature can look forward to an exciting morning outdoors this December. Alan Photo Singapore is teaming up with OM SYSTEM to organise a special wildlife photography workshop at Bird Paradise, giving participants an opportunity to explore the fascinating world of bird photography while learning from an experienced professional photographer.

Taking place on Saturday, 5 December 2026, from 8.30am to 11.30am, this photography experience will be led by Adam Maniam, an OM SYSTEM Pro-Shooter. Whether participants are already familiar with wildlife photography or are simply curious about getting better pictures of birds, this workshop offers a wonderful opportunity to learn new techniques, practise with camera equipment and capture beautiful moments in one of Singapore’s most exciting wildlife destinations.

Instead of spending another weekend indoors, photography fans can make the most of this opportunity to enjoy nature, improve their photography skills and perhaps discover a new hobby along the way.

Discover the Exciting World of Bird Photography

Bird photography can be surprisingly challenging, even for people who already own a good camera. Birds are constantly moving, taking flight unexpectedly and changing positions within seconds. Capturing a sharp, well-composed photograph often requires more than simply pointing a camera and pressing the shutter button.

This is where learning from an experienced photographer can make a difference.

During the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to explore bird photography with guidance from Adam Maniam. As an OM SYSTEM Pro-Shooter, he will share useful insights and practical techniques that can help photographers approach wildlife subjects with greater confidence.

From understanding how to photograph birds in motion to recognising interesting moments worth capturing, participants can pick up useful knowledge that they can apply during future photography outings.

It is also a great opportunity for beginners to become more comfortable using their cameras. Those who have recently purchased a camera but are still figuring out its different settings may find a guided photography experience particularly helpful.

What Can Participants Look Forward To?

There is more to this workshop than simply walking around and taking photographs. The programme is designed to combine practical learning, wildlife exploration and hands-on photography experience.

Here are some of the highlights participants can look forward to.

1. Capture Birds in Flight and Beautiful Wildlife Moments

One of the most exciting aspects of bird photography is capturing birds while they are flying. Unlike stationary subjects, birds can move quickly, making it challenging to get the right focus, timing and composition.

At Bird Paradise, participants will have opportunities to observe different bird species and practise capturing interesting wildlife moments.

With guidance from the workshop leader, they can learn more about photographing moving subjects and making better use of their camera settings. Getting that perfect photograph may take patience, but the experience of finally capturing a bird in flight can be incredibly rewarding.

Even if participants do not manage to get every shot perfectly, the opportunity to practise in a real wildlife environment makes the experience worthwhile.

2. Learn Photography Techniques from Adam Maniam

Having an experienced photographer share practical advice is one of the biggest attractions of this workshop.

Adam Maniam will lead the session and provide photography guidance throughout the experience. Participants can learn useful approaches to bird photography, including techniques for observing subjects, composing photographs and responding to changing wildlife movements.

Rather than relying entirely on online tutorials, attendees can learn in an actual photography setting and gain a better understanding of how different techniques work in practice.

This is particularly useful for photographers who want to move beyond taking casual snapshots and start producing more thoughtful wildlife photographs.

3. Enjoy a Guided Photowalk Around Bird Paradise

The workshop will also include an opportunity to explore the beautiful surroundings of Bird Paradise through a guided photowalk.

For those who have not visited before, Bird Paradise offers an enjoyable setting for observing birds and appreciating the natural environment. It provides plenty of inspiration for photography enthusiasts who enjoy capturing animals, colours, textures and interesting compositions.

A guided photowalk also allows participants to approach photography at a more relaxed pace. Instead of rushing from one location to another, they can spend time observing their surroundings, looking for interesting subjects and practising what they learn.

It is an enjoyable way to combine outdoor recreation with a photography learning experience.

4. Get Hands-On Experience with OM SYSTEM Camera Equipment

Another interesting part of the event is the opportunity to discover and photograph with OM SYSTEM gear in the field.

For anyone considering upgrading their photography equipment, this could be a useful opportunity to become more familiar with the brand’s camera system and understand how its equipment performs in a wildlife photography environment.

Bird photography often involves subjects at a distance, unpredictable movement and changing lighting conditions. Having the opportunity to explore camera equipment in a practical setting can help participants better understand what features and capabilities may suit their photography interests.

It is also a good opportunity for existing OM SYSTEM users to learn more about getting the best out of their equipment.

Workshop Fees: How Much Does It Cost?

Another reason to consider joining is that the workshop offers different admission categories to accommodate various visitors.

Here is the registration fee breakdown:

Admission Category	Fee
Pass A – Adult (Local / Foreigner)	$64
Pass B – Local Senior Citizen	$40
Pass C – Adult / Senior Citizen Annual Pass Holders	$15

The most affordable option is Pass C at just $15 for eligible Bird Paradise annual pass holders.

For photography enthusiasts who already hold an annual pass, this could be an especially attractive opportunity to enjoy a guided photography experience without paying the standard adult admission fee.

Those who do not have an annual pass can consider the other available categories according to their eligibility.

Before registering, participants should check the applicable admission requirements and confirm what is included in each pass. It is also worth checking whether any additional personal expenses may apply.

Why Should You Join This Bird Photography Workshop?

There are several reasons why this event deserves a place on the December weekend calendar.

First, it offers an opportunity to learn directly from someone with professional photography experience. Instead of spending hours trying to understand camera settings independently, participants can receive practical guidance while photographing real subjects.

Second, the workshop provides a chance to practise wildlife photography in an interesting environment. Bird Paradise offers a different experience from photographing landscapes, buildings or everyday street scenes. Participants will need to observe their subjects, anticipate movements and develop better timing.

Third, it is suitable for people who want to turn their interest in photography into a more rewarding hobby. Beginners can gain confidence, while more experienced photographers can use the session to refine their techniques and experiment with different approaches.

It can also be a fun activity for friends or family members who share an interest in cameras, wildlife and outdoor experiences.

Most importantly, participants will have three hours to step away from their usual routines, enjoy nature and focus on developing a creative skill. Even if they walk away with only a handful of particularly good photographs, the knowledge and experience gained during the session could prove useful for many future photography adventures.
