If are looking for a place to spend a few days in total peace, where you can focus only to take some beautiful pictures, enjoying some spectacular sunsets with the sun “falling” into the sea and where your biggest problem will be to choose whether the next glass of wine will be red or white, well.. Look no more, because the Cinque Terre is exactly the place you were looking for.
The Early Summer in Tuscany is one of those tours that can be a big hit or a big miss; the 2025 edition was, weirdly
The spring season was well beyond its peak by now, and even if people tend to think that as we go into the summer season
The first two days of our Spring in Tuscany & Cinque Terre 2025 workshop were amongst the best “first two days” of possibly any workshop
The 2025 Spring season has been a bit unusual for a variety of reasons: an absolutely abnormal amount of fog and the lack of poppies
Onward with the second “Early Spring in Tuscany and Cinque Terre” tour of 2025, the signs of spring were becoming more and more evident; the
After the terrible weather we got on our Norway’s workshops, it was nice to see some light again! Our first spring trip of 2025 in
Talking about which image format is better is a bit like discussing on which lens is better between a 14mm and a 500mm, or on what cameras are better between mirrorless and reflex; you got it, it’s one of those arguments that will never leave the table of passionate photographers and will keep to make people arguing about it, over and over again.
You’ve heard of it. You’ve made some researches about it. You felt overwhelmed by it. There are legends which narrate some people shiver just by hearing someone pronounce it. Yes, you probably know what I’m talking about: the (in)famous technique called “focus stacking”!
A “duel” that started probably well before you were born, Nikon and Canon have always been between the most important names (if not the most of them all!) of the photography market. Over the decades they battled the throne for whom is producing the best cameras and lenses: sometimes Canon was ahead, sometimes Nikon instead
White balance is one of the most important yet less considered settings when it comes to producing compelling images. A slight change towards a warmer or a colder color temperature can make the difference between a dull image and an impressive one.
The main problem is that many photographers never put much effort into learning how to deal with the white balance and its settings, so when they find themselves with some weird colors in their images they don’t really know how to fix the problem, even if it’s much easier than everyone might think.
It doesn’t matter what kind of photography your are into, it doesn’t matter if you are just starting out or you are a veteran photographer, it doesn’t matter what kind of camera or lens you are using: you should know what is the golden hour, when it happens and how to take advantage of it. It’s one of the fundamental stuff to know when talking about photography.
Monochrome photography always had a major role in the photographic history; many people think it’s a trend typical of the last decades, but the truth is that it’s always been practiced since photography was born. I could easily name black and white photography as the monochrome photography “par excellence”, but even without considering black and white photographs think about the “sepia effect” or cyanotype photos: these are just two examples of monochrome photography techniques used since the early ages of photography.
The answer is positive. But let me warn you: there is no magic formula for this. It’s not a technique, it’s not a process, it’s not mechanical. You can’t just say “okay, now it’s time to create some images that evokes emotions” and do it. I’m sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately it doesn’t work that way.
Oh, and you’ve chosen to evoke emotions through landscape photography, right? So, I guess you like the hard way. Good luck.
Landscape photography is possibly the genre that went through the most radical change in the last decade or so. New post production techniques became popular and commonly used by amateur and professional photographers; social medias took over the web and became the most widespread way to share pictures online, changing along the road the way we look at other people’s photos; last but not least, the most recent equipment allowed photographers to explore techniques that simply couldn’t have been possible ten years ago, from photography in low light conditions (e.g. nightscapes) to using ND filters on super wide angle lenses without any strong color cast, just to name a couple.
