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, …
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, …
Tellaro is just another one of those picturesque Ligurian villages by the sea. It is just a few kilometers south of Cinque Terre, so it is a perfect destination for those wanting to extend their trip there to the surrounding areas. It is also a great spot for summer sunsets, when the setting sun hits the houses and the church …
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, …
I recently had the pleasure of meeting again my good friend Gordon Laing of Camera Labs and All About The Gear fame and he graciously consented to be interviewed while he was busy shooting long exposures on the rocks of Dunure, Scotland. In the brief space of five minutes, he managed to share a wealth of tips about long exposures …
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 …
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 …
We spent the last weekend exploring the Cinque Terre, the most picturesque region of the Italian Riviera and the location of my upcoming photography workshop. We have now pretty much nailed down the program, even though we need to maintain flexibility to accommodate the vagaries of weather and any unforeseen circumstances. Speaking of the weather, the gods were not exactly …
