Slovenia: Snow Covered Mountains, Lakes, and Historic Churches
UPDATE: As of August 9, 2019, this workshop is sold out. Please contact us to be place on the waiting list.
Winter is a beautiful time of year in the Julian Alps, come join us and experience the brisk mountain air, amazing landscapes, and photography all hours of the day and night. This seven day, small group photography workshop will be led by Marc Muench and Luka Esenko, who will be teaching landscape photography and post processing techniques to help enhance your captured images.
Discover this amazing region with towering mountains, glacial lakes, snow covered forests, and historic villages including the city of Ljubljana. Our subjects will vary from lakes and rivers, frozen waterfalls, to hilltop churches, and alpenglow on the highest peaks of Triglav National Park. We might even drive across the border into Italy or Austria in search for perfect winter conditions. We’ll spend several nights in the capital city of Ljubljana, which is a small charming city with fascinating architecture and walking streets.
There will be plenty of time to work on our images and learn photoshop techniques in the evenings. You’ll learn about your camera settings, proper exposure techniques, focus stacking, and composition while in the field. Some of the post processing techniques covered will include Adobe Lightroom workflow, including the Basic and Tone Curve panels and filters to enhance your images. We encourage everyone to participate in the image reviews where you’ll learn about composition, lighting, and the art of seeing.
Pack your winter boots, down jacket, gloves and be ready for some amazing snowy landscapes!
