Photography holidays are an exciting, emerging trend in mountain travel.

In Europe, Tatra Photography now offers photography workshops including a three-day photography holiday in Germany’s Bavarian National Park and a landscape course in the surroundings of the Tatra Mountains.  An additional week- long break will feature the mountains’ peaks and valleys.

While in Slovakia, the company will offer three-day photography breaks in the Tatra Mountains focusing on the lakes and waterfalls and week long breaks in the peaks and valleys of the mountains.  These packages will  include staying in remote mountain lodges and lake locations for reflection and sunrise shots.

A longer photography course will feature a special overnight stay on Lomnicky Peak, (2634 metres above sea level), to photograph sunsets and sunrises and star trails. This  peak is reached by cable car from Tatranska Lomnica.

Wildlife breaks in Germany will give photographers “the chance to capture some of Europe’s great predators including: brown bears, wolves and lynx as well as the endangered European bison, deer, otters, wild horses and birds of prey.”

Slovakia photography breaks will highlight Tatra Mountains known for their giant waterfalls, lakes, valleys, deep green forests, blue mountain tarns, snowy peaks, brown bears, wolves, lynx and deer and diverse flora.

Award-winning photographers Chris Weston, Nick Jenkins and Andrew James will lead these photography holidays.  The holidays are designed for moderately fit photographers of all abilities who work in digital or film, from 35mm up to large format.

Photographic tuition will cover composition, exposure, shutter speed, focus and depth-of-field, apertures and understanding histograms.  Participants will learn to ‘read’ the landscape, create panoramas, HDR imaging and black and white photography.
