Join renowned macro photographer Bridgette Gower & Ros Peric on a small group photography tour to explore the world of Insects, Spiders and Fungi, in the Cairns Botanic Gardens. A magical world awaits when you join Bridgette & Ros for a personalised, highly specified tour of the gardens and the treasures waiting to be discovered. Beautiful bugs, fantastic frogs, myriad of mushrooms, and amazing arachnids!

I can help you capture images of these amazing creatures, having over 2000 hours in the gardens for photographic pleasure and I have collected a vast amount of knowledge of where to find the gems of the miniature world. I can assist you with your camera settings and composition to help get the best images possible with your own gear.
