Course Structure
Camera Etru sca takes its name from the Etruscans who lived in Central Italy from 900 BC. They usually built their cities on the high ground between two ravines or on the shores of lakes. Many of their towns are still inhabited today and those who participate on our photography course will be stunned by their imposing positions and evocative beauty.
We offer an adventurous photography holiday but with all the comforts! The accommodation is first class, we shall wine you and dine you, we'll get you comfortably over the most rugged terrain and take you to places that you would never be able to find on your own and all this with your tutor close at hand to encourage and advise you. From the secret lanes behind the Via Appia Antica to the rough roads through the hills above Rome our Land Rover will get you to places you'd be hard pressed to find even on foot. We'll also take you down back streets into artisans workshops, show you how to light them and the people that work there. This is a landscape where almost every civilization has left its mark: Roman ruins, Etruscan temples, mediaeval castles………If it all gets too much there's always the pool to laze by (or a lake to jump in).
If you are interested in digital photography, then using digital capture we can explain things in a day that can take three times as long using film. Even if you don't possess a digital camera, this option could be for you.
