Workshop Friuli: Lakes and Waterfalls

FIELD EXPERIENCE

Where Water Rises from the Mountain

There are places that make no noise. You don't find them among the most photographed destinations in Italy and they rarely appear on must-see lists. Yet, when you get there, you wonder how you could have ignored them for so long.

Why Friuli?

Friuli Venezia Giulia is home to some of the most authentic landscapes in the Alps: springs that flow directly from the rocks, lakes with transparent water, woods that turn gold in autumn and mountains that seem to protect these places from time.

Here, water is the absolute protagonist: it rises from the mountains, flows through gorges and forests, fills alpine lakes with incredible colors and creates scenarios that change completely with the variations in light. October is probably the most fascinating time to experience them: the days are getting softer, the woods are starting to transform and the first shades of autumn add depth and character to every photograph.

For two days, we'll immerse ourselves in this territory at the pace of photographers. We'll wait for the right light, study the best compositions, and learn to transform every scene into an image capable of conveying an emotion. It won't be a race from one location to another: it will be a journey built around light.

PHOTOGRAPHIC ITINERARY

The Weekend's Main Locations

Each stage of the workshop has been chosen to offer you something different: from water photography to wider landscapes, passing through details, reflections and plays of light (as well as surprise secret spots in the field!).

Goriuda Fountain

A waterfall that flows directly from the mountain

The roar of the water, the surrounding forest and the light filtered by the trees make this the perfect place to learn how to manage long exposures, ND filters and intimate compositions.

Fusine Lakes

Two lakes that seem to belong to Northern Europe

The emerald waters, forests and mountains reflected on the surface offer endless photographic possibilities, from wide angles to compressed details with longer focal lengths.

Zelenci is to be experienced, not previewed

The Zelenci Springs are one of the most iconic places in the entire Alpine region. To preserve the element of surprise, this image only suggests its colors and atmosphere: the real landscape awaits you on the field.

🎓 What you will learn

During the workshop we will work together on everything needed to create effective landscape photographs:

  • 🌅 Reading the light natural and its orientation
  • 📐 Choosing the best composition depending on the subject
  • 🔮 Using ND filters and polarizers for water control
  • âąī¸ Managing long exposures on streams and waterfalls
  • 🔍 Capire quale focale utilizzare (grandangolo vs teleobiettivo)
  • đŸŽ¯ Semplificare l'inquadratura eliminating the disturbing elements
"The goal is not simply to bring home beautiful photographs, but to learn a method that you can apply on any of your future photographic outings."

🎒 Recommended gear

  • 📸 Fotocamera Mirrorless or Reflex with manual control
  • 🔭 Grandangolo (14–24 mm recommended for wide shots)
  • 📷 Teleobiettivo (recommended for isolating details and mountain backdrops)
  • đŸĻĩ Treppiede robusto essential for long water exposures
  • 🔘 Scatto remoto / Trigger esterno to avoid any vibration
  • 🔮 ND and Polarizer Filters to eliminate reflections and create a silk effect
  • 🔋 Batterie & Schede of spare memory
  • đŸĨž Mountain clothing layered and waterproof boots
  • 👕 Complete spare change in car (we will be in constant close contact with water!)
â„šī¸ Astrophotography Opportunity Note: The program does not include an official night session. However, we recommend bringing night gear: if the weather is clear and the group wants it, we will catch an unscheduled astro session!
