Tuscany photo workshop results

pegelli

From May 8 - 14 I participated in a photo workshop in Tuscany led by Hans Kruse (See details here).

It was a very worthwhile experience. We had a great group of 11 photographers and Hans is an excellent workshop leader. He's a fine instructor on the technical side of things and regarding what and how to shoot he doesn't tell you what to do but he brings ideas and suggestions you have to put in practice yourself. On the one hand that's harder, but also more rewarding and avoids too much copy-cat behavior. Also what you learn that way is probably maintained and sustained a lot longer.

Choice of equipment was never an issue and only marginally discussed. It was all about capturing the light and the beautiful landscapes.

Here's some pictures to give you an impression

Wow, great series - looks like a week well-spent!

I love the misty look of #2, but I have to say that 6 & 7 are my favorites of the group.

A great set of images. #2,#4 and #7 are my favorites. Pictures from this area always remind me of the "Palouse area" in Washington and N Idaho

Hmmm... I'd never thought of that but it does look quite similar!

These are lovely. Was the lavender in bloom while you were there? I've seen some workshops from that region demonstrate some spectacular photos from the lavender fields.
