Slovenia

The Very Best of Slovenia

May 10 – 18, 2023

Experience a range of incredible photographic locations and experiment with a variety of photography techniques on this 9-day workshop. With amazing photo ops all day and night, we’ll travel by comfortable minivan, stay in well-chosen high quality accommodations and eat wonderful food.

Discover the beautiful country of Slovenia with your camera in hand and capture stunning images of mountain landscapes, glacial lakes and rivers as well as scenes of every day life in traditional villages. Explore Lake Bled and its iconic church on Bled Island, starting with sunrise at the shore and ending with sunset from a stunning vantage point. Contrast this with the more tranquil but equally inspiring Lake Bohinj in the heart of the Julian Alps. We’ll shoot creative long exposures to capture fast-flowing rivers and waterfalls at Vintgar Gorge, and travel through many picturesque villages to shoot traditional hayracks and agricultural details and document a slower pace of life. We’ll photograph the vineyards and stone-built villages of Karst, and the salt pans and seacoast as well. Finally, we discover the warmth and charm of Ljubljana with its contrasting styles of architecture, café culture, and bustling riverbank and markets, each day capturing amazing sunrises, sunsets, and night sky as well.

During this workshop, you will learn the finer points of composition and the art of “seeing”. We will spend time in the field helping you with long exposures, panoramas, and night photography, too. We will also spend time in the “classroom” where we’ll do image review and critique and post-processing with Lightroom.
