WS_Anaga I Playa del Benijo
Chinyero Volcano I Lavafields with pine trees
November 1909 was the most recent volcanic eruption on Tenerife until now. Here at the Chinyero volcano, at an altitude of 1,560 metres – mostly above the clouds – you can experience volcanism in a truly unique way. Massive lava boulders, piled up wildly in shades of dark brown and black, reveal fascinating channels carved by lava flows. Bright green pine forests provide a unique contrast.
Want to get out into nature?
For adventurers, I offer overnight stays in tents at a forest campsite amongst pine trees. (Tents, including mattresses and sleeping bags, are available for hire.) From here, you can reach photographic hotspots in just a few minutes to capture the sunrise and sunset. You can also combine excursions to Mount Teide and Charco El Diablo with your stay.
You can expect
Photography workshops given by me personally – a photographer with many years’ experience and the recipient of awards.
I’ll provide you opportunities to discover your own creative approaches to landscape photography.
At Tenerife’s most inspiring natural photography spots, you’ll find opportunities to capture your own personal perspectives in your photographs.
Designed photography
It all starts with your own visual idea.
The camera’s viewfinder is your creative field and provides the framework for good composition with deliberate framing.
Your choice of lens, aperture, shutter speed and ISO setting have a significant impact on your photograph. The workshop should clarify the interplay between your choice of framing, perspective, lighting and technical settings, and your visual concept.
All camera systems that allow you to adjust the exposure parameters are welcome, including analogue cameras.
You should be as familiar as possible with your camera. Of course, I’m willing to give you guidance.
At the end of the day
At the end of the day,
you’ll take home not only spectacular motives but also new photographic experiences.
As a giveaway, I’ve got five postcards and a photography guidelines with creative and technical tips ready for you.
