Photography workshop

Spring in Podpoľanie region

Discover with me the most beautiful corners  in Hriňová countryside.
Endless fields, cherry blossoms or winding paths between houses and fields. These are the scenery of Podpolian laz in Hriňová. The lazys themselves are nestled in the middle of the mountains, which provide wonderful views for the photographer. It is a paradise for landscape photography full of lines and contrasts. Of course, the views directly from the laz are no less beautiful, where you can find many beautiful details or a solitaire with a cherry blossom. In the locality there is even an unknown and beautiful gorge with a stream and mossy rocks, where we can go during the day for daily photography if the conditions are suitable.
Each participant will receive the materials from the workshop in PDF, so that they can return to them at any time. All editing procedures are available in the form of video instructions, so it will definitely not happen that you forget the procedures by the time you get home :)

Characteristics of the workshop

The workshop is intended primarily for photographers interested in landscape photography. Due to the nature of the landscape, this course is designed primarily for photography at longer focal lengths. We will look at the top places for sunrise and sunset photography. Together, we will focus on the use of light in a given type of landscape, on creating a suitable composition, but also on the technical side of photography. You can be a complete beginner who wants to see more about the possibilities of your camera, or you can be an advanced photographer who would like to understand the methods of creating a composition or working with light even more deeply. The course is designed for both groups of photographers. In addition, we will explain how important planning is and something I call "systematic" photography. Later, over a beer and good food, we will talk more about landscape photography as I see it, and we will look at both basic and advanced photo editing (RAW, exposure blending, time blending, focus stacking, etc.).

Advantages of the workshop

  • a location made for landscape photography
  • I've been going to Hriňová for years, and that's why I know enough places suitable for both sunset and sunrise
  • I will be happy to pass on my know-how regarding interesting places, photography as such but also the post-process
  • all locations together, without the need for long transfers or exits
  • good mood and willingness to explain and thereby pass on as much knowledge and experience as possible
  • pleasant accommodation, where we always spend a relaxing evening taking photos

Note:
The program depends on the given situation, especially on the weather conditions.
In recent years, the weather has been turbulent, and in extreme cases, the flowering date of the trees can be postponed. When planning, however, I was based on my knowledge of the region, where I have been photographing for 10 years.
