Not Just Landscape

We take you out every day in the Land Rover off the beaten track, but also into towns and villges. The photographing of people is part of every course. Italians of all classes and trades are usually happy to be photographed if approached with tact. With our intimate knowledge of the country, the language and the people we'll be able to introduce you to the farmers, shopkeepers, wine-growers, fishermen and good old boys of Etruria and Rome.

And you won't waste  precious time - we'll get you to the right place at the right time when the sun is where it should be for the best possible shot. A photographic vacation like no other - Ansel Adams would be proud!

 A weathered old barn door, and a reflector to  pull the face out of  the shadow, simple enough.

Technical Tips - we'll be there to give you technical help if and when you need it with everything from depth-of-field to help with your flash. The handling of tricky lighting situations using single and multiple flash units, coloured gels, reflectors and even smoke canisters to create the right atmosphere is an integral part of every course.

Thinking of going digital but daren't take the plunge? We also have digital equipment, scanner, printer and computers (Mac and PC) so we can help you get started in the digital field, show you the wonders of image manipulation and more. We can even up-load some of your images onto this site in the Gallery  section while you're still with us!

	the two pictures on either side were taken on a digital camera and joined together to make an atmospheric panorama (below) using Canon photostitch
	The cascade above is not two images  but three sewn together. Even though we used a reflector to push the evening light into the shadows and a flash this created no difficulties when we came to stitch the images together - even at A3 size it is impossible to spot the seams.
