Photography workshop
Saxon Switzerland
Sandstone rock towns and gorges above the Elbe River
A national park full of sandstone rock towers, gorges and beautiful views. The Elbe River guarantees frequent fog at sunrise. For me, the unobstructed views and beautiful rock formations make this national park in Germany an ideal destination for landscape photography during early autumn.

Characteristics of the workshop
The workshop is intended primarily for photographers interested in mountain photography. Due to the nature of the landscape, this course is intended primarily for photography at wider focal lengths, but a telephoto lens will definitely find its place.
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. Along with that, together we will learn how to use auxiliary equipment more effectively when photographing in the field (tripod, tripod tips, cable trigger, filters), we will explain how important planning is and what I call "systematic" photography. Over a beer and good food, we will later talk more about basic but also advanced photo editing (RAW editing, exposure blending, time blending, focus stacking, etc.).
Advantages of the workshop
beautiful views from the rock towers
interesting moss-covered gorges
The peaks are not extra high and therefore the ascents are not very long (max 1-1.5 hours).
good mood and willingness to explain and thus pass on as much knowledge and experience as possible
top accommodation where we always spend a relaxing evening taking photos
participants can borrow filters from VFFoto or tripods from LeoFoto
Note:
The program is not fixed and depends on the given situation, especially on weather conditions.
Anyway, it will be challenging: we will wake up early, go to bed late :)
