Destination
The Gran Paradiso National Park extends over 70,000 hectares of high mountain territory, between the 800 meters of the valley floor and the 4,061 meters of the Gran Paradiso. The park is spread over 4 valleys and occupying two regions. It is the oldest national park in Italy, established on December 3, 1922. From a naturalistic point of view, it is one of the most interesting parks in Italy, with 68 species of vertebrates including 52 mammals and 101 nesting birds. Among these, the most significant is undoubtedly the ibex, symbol of the park, but in addition to it it is also possible to observe the alpine chamois, the fox, the variable hare, the ermine and recently also the wolf. Among the birds, the presence of the golden eagle and the bearded vulture should be emphasized.
From a photographic point of view, the park has no equal. The breathtaking environment, in full alpine style, offers wonderful views and details. The great density of animals stimulates photographic creativity a lot, giving us a way to experience truly unforgettable moments. During the winter the park is completely covered with snow and ice. A silent and wild park that each of us should know.
About the workshop:
Five days of wildlife photography immersed in the magical winter atmosphere of the Gran Paradiso National Park. We will move to the best areas of the park in search of suggestive scenarios and the animals that populate these splendid valleys.
The Gran Paradiso National Park, with its breathtaking environments, offers high-level photographic opportunities. Especially in this period it will be possible to observe and photograph the numerous species of the park with spectacular winter atmospheres, thanks to the alpine scenery and the abundant snowfalls that characterize this area.
There will be four intense days in search of Ibex, Alpine Chamois, Foxes, Variable Hares, Royal Eagles, Bearded Vultures and many other animals. Michele will follow you during the event by providing his experiences, both technical and naturalistic, to help you optimize the use of your equipment and to let you take home not only the beautiful images but also the important notions of nature photography.
In fact, in the field we will talk about basic and advanced shooting techniques to obtain creative and particular images, while after sunset, we will have the opportunity to discuss the shots taken during the day and to carry out post-production sessions aimed at optimizing the files.
Our goal is to provide participants with notions of biology and photography to be able to carry out this fantastic passion with the utmost respect for nature and with the technical skills to be able to take home excellent shots in any situation.
It will be an intense and engaging experience that will make you rediscover a completely new nature photography.
Recommended photographic equipment:
This is an event that offers great photo opportunities. for this reason we do not believe that special equipment is necessary. Even with a 200mm tele you can take home photos of excellent quality. For lovers of close-up portraits we can recommend an effective focal length of about 300mm. A medium telephoto and a wide angle can be useful if you are interested in photographing the splendid views that the park gives during this period.
