On may 7-8, 2011 i attended a very interesting nature photography Workshop in the natural park Parco Naturale Regionale del Beigua.

Among the (many) things i learned:

• how to shoot (“for real” , shots, exposures, field depth, etc.) at flowers and insects;
• how to get an interesting panorama with a wide angle lens (i did not like them very much, i prefer higher focal lenghts > 135 mm though);
• my Canon EF-S 18-55 lens has interesting macro capabilities;
• keep an eye at ticks;
• scorpions glow in the dark (!)

Set I: Nature images

Set II: behind the scenes

Thanks to all the teachers which gave me very very much troughout these two days: Emanuele Biggi - Naturalist & Wildlife photographer (anura.it) Francesco Tomasinelli – Science Nature & Travel Photographer (isopoda.net), Roberto Malacrida – Nature photographer (robertomalacrida.com).

And of course to the Workshop deus ex machina Michele Pregliasco (digilands.it) and all the park staff which gave us many and very interesting informations about geology, flora and fauna.
