Il microcosmo della Rocca Workshop di fotografia naturalistica e storytelling nella riserva naturale di Manerba

Un’immersione fotografica tra i contrasti cromatici e ambientali della Riserva Naturale della Rocca di Manerba del Garda. Questo workshop è un viaggio che attraversa ecosistemi opposti: dal microcosmo vitale delle zone umide, dove impareremo a gestire la luce e il movimento per ritrarre la rapidità di libellule e tricotteri, fino alle pendenze aride e solari della riserva. Dedicheremo particolare attenzione alla fotografia botanica, andando alla ricerca delle rare orchidee selvatiche, per poi alzare lo sguardo e studiare la composizione del paesaggio lacustre dalle iconiche scogliere a picco sul Garda. Il corso è rivolto a chi vuole affinare la tecnica della macro-fotografia e del paesaggio, imparando a leggere il territorio per valorizzare sia il dettaglio invisibile che l'ampio orizzonte, nel rispetto assoluto dell'ambiente.

Africa - Zambia - Explore South Luangwa - Leopards and more!

There are few places in Africa as raw and rewarding as South Luangwa National Park. Known as the home of the walking safari and one of the best places on the continent to see the elusive Leopard, this is where patience and passion for wildlife truly pay off. Set along the winding Luangwa River, the park is bursting with life — from vast herds of elephant and buffalo to hippos crowding the waterways, and predators never far away. But it’s the leopards that steal the show. South Luangwa has one of the highest densities in Africa, offering incredible opportunities to observe and photograph these solitary cats as they move silently through the bush or rest in the trees above. Days are shaped by golden light and anticipation. Early morning drives, slow explorations of the bush, and evenings that come alive with nocturnal action. Whether you’re behind the camera or simply taking it all in, every moment feels immersive and real. This isn’t just a photo safari, it’s a proper wilderness experience. Wild, authentic, and unforgettable.
