Title: Wading your way to a photo: The Arch at Campiecho, Asturias
Post by: Vieri Bottazzini on April 08, 2018, 03:17:17 am
It takes wading in the ocean, water chest high, to get to the Arch at Playa de Campiecho with high enough tide for the cave to be filled with water, and then some more wading into the cave to get the photograph: but the feeling and the view from in there are simply amazing! Taken at sunset during the Workshop I led in Asturias last year with Leica SL, Voigtlander 15mm and Formatt-Hitech Firecrest filters.

Wide and wild. The light is "five-star" and the framing exceptional.

One begins to wonder though whether his workshops are about photography or perhaps more like... hmmm... survivaltraining.

:D Actually, it was a lot of fun! You get to walk in the ocean and nothing happens, almost feeling like The Terminator... and, you get to see an amazing place in a way that very few people have seen! I'll take some suffering like that every day :D

Well, we can't all be armchair photographers, can we? :) Sometimes, to get great shots you need to go a bit further than everyone else, and with my Workshops I'll show you how to do that in the safest possible way, and without having to go through the unknown - I do that for you beforehand so that you can just enjoy the experience :) Plus, many people actually enjoy the adventure part: last year, one of our participants couldn't wait to get into his waders!

Best regards,

Vieri
