Workshop: Acitrezza 06 June 2015

The workshop "Acitrezza" organized by Marco Calandra gives the possibility to everyone who love the photography to share a passion with other people. The purpose of the course is to learn and/or enhance the knowledge in landscape photography. The landscape of Acitrezza is characterized by the "Faraglioni dei Ciclopi": eight basaltic rocks (three in greater evidence) that, according to legend, were thrown by Polyphemus to Ulysses during his escape. The area of Acitrezza has also been the subject of the novel "I Malavoglia" written by Giovanni Verga in 1881. The workshop will be characterized by practical part on the field, at Acitrezza and a theoretical part of landscape photography and post-production. Like any seaside town, you can not predict the weather conditions (wind, clouds, etc.) that will arise on the day indicated, but it will also be possible capture breathtaking scenery.

PS: If the weather conditions are gonna be negative and will not allow a regular running of the workshop, this will may be subject to shifts of date, or in other cases refund of amounts already paid.
