I would like to welcome Bob McCormac as a guest blogger on the site. In this article, Bob gives us some great tips about visiting the Amalfi Coast in Italy. I hope you will enjoy his insights as well as Bob’s beautiful pictures of this very scenic coastline. Situated on the western coast of Italy and west of Salerno, the Amalfi Coast …
I am presently in Greece with my pal Massi, scouting locations for our upcoming tour of the Cyclades Islands. Yesterday we were in Ios, looking for some sunset and blue hour shots. It took us some time to find the perfect spot to photograph the Chora (village) of Ios, one of the Cyclades, and we had to climb a stone wall, …
This land resembles no other place. Sardinia is something else. Enchanting spaces and distances to travel-nothing finished, nothing definitive. It is like freedom itself. — David Herbert Lawrence Many people see Sardinia as a small continent in itself, because of its unique variety of landscapes, wildlife, traditions, people and food. Interested in touring Sardinia with two experienced professional photographers? Then have a …
There is no doubt that the Cinque Terre are one the most sought after locations in the Italian Riviera and the one that attracts the most tourists, but that stretch of coastline that extends from Genoa to the gulf of La Spezia has many gems that are less known, but not even one bit less charming. From Genoa to Camogli, …
Update: On March 8th, 2017, after days on which the coast of Malta has been battered by strong winds and high waves, the Azure Window has collapsed and it’s gone forever. The photo below remains my first and last of this magnificent natural monument. We sometimes think that “postcard” shots of popular locations are best avoided, but this event reminds …
Camogli is a fantastic little town nested between the mountains and the sea and, with the right light, its colors can be awe inspiring. I was lucky to get there one late afternoon at the end of September, when the sun in the west was lighting up the houses on the waterfront, all painted in tones of red and yellow, …
The town of Portovenere was so called because, in Roman times, there was a temple dedicated to the goddess Venus here, hence Portus Veneris, or the Port of Venus. Nowadays Portovenere is yet another of those charming Ligurian villages with pastel-colored houses, in front of a deep blue sea and under clear blue skies for most of the year. If you …
Just a classic view of the Canal Grande in Venice, taken from the Accademia bridge. Shot at the blue hour, because there is no better time of day to convey the timeless romanticism of Venice. Equipment used: Fujifilm X-E2, Fujinon XF 35mm F1.4 R. Exposure data: Six images taken at f/10, 15s, 200 ISO and stitched together in Photoshop.
Ah, Rovinj, what a magical place, with the old city jutting out into the Adriatic sea and the slender, Venetian bell tower of St. Euphemia’s Cathedral. Too bad I was there only for one day, but I left a piece of my heart on its narrow, stone-paved streets and I will be back one day. I took this image on …
When we did our latest workshop in Cinque Terre in May, I tried my hand at shooting some b-roll video. My equipment is not great and my skills are even worse, so you’ll have to forgive me if the video looks a bit amateurish, but I think it captures the feeling of the event quite well. I am happy to …
