THE DOLOMITES
8 DAY LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
WELCOME DOCUMENT
WELCOME PHOTOGRAPHING MOUNTAINS Of all the dif ferent facets of landscape photography, mountains offer perhaps the most magnificent scenery to capture and the breath- taking towers and peaks of the Dolomites are among the most beautiful mountains in the world. Rising almost vertically from dense forests and reflected in mirror-like alpine lakes it's impossible not to be both awed and inspired by the stunning vistas everywhere you look. We’re really glad you’ve decided to join us on this workshop and we’re looking forward to sharing with you some of the stunning locations this incredible area has to offer. This welcome document is designed to give you a detailed overview of the workshop, along with packing suggestions, advice on how to get to Italy and our meeting point, and other information we think might be helpful. If there’s anything else that you’re not sure about or would like to know, don’t hesitate to contact us at info@andymumford.com We look forward to meeting you and hope you enjoy the workshop, the company and the stunning landscapes of the Dolomites. We’ll see you soon… Andy Mumford & Andrea Livieri

ITINERARY Our workshop has two bases which allows us to see a couple of the Dolomites most iconic cover the huge variety of landscapes to shoot scenes. We’ll shoot both sunrise and sunset on here in the Dolomites. We start off with five days the Alpe di Siusi with its incredible views of in Cortina d’Ampezzo in the eastern part of the gently rolling grass-covered hills spotted with region from where we can explore the stunning log cabins and pine trees below the jagged, Tre Cime di Lavaredo natural park at both rocky peaks of Sassalungo. sunrise and sunset. The park has almost infinite photographic potential, from the iconic towers of Over the years we’ve been running workshops Tre Cime itself, to the southern views of the in the Dolomites we’ve refined our daily itinerary jagged peaks of the Cadini group, and the area to give plenty of recovery time. We understand around Rifugio Locatelli and Sasso di Sesto in that over the course of a workshop fatigue can the north. We’ll spend multiple sessions accumulate leaving people with less energy at exploring the trails and huge variety of views the end of the trip, so we ensure that after each around this incredible place and eat hearty morning session people have at least 3 hours dinners at the mountain rifugios. From Cortina downtime during which they can either rest, we’ll also get an alpine taxi to the picturesque upload their images to their computers or have a Lago Federa on the Croda da Lago trail where walk around the local area (our hotels are the sunrise illuminates the golden forests and located in some beautiful spots). surrounding lake, spend sunset at the towering peaks of Passo Giau, Lago di Limedes and At this time of year the sunrise is around 7h and Cinque Torri, and visit the still waters of Lago di sunset around 19h Braies with its perfect reflections and red boats. Our second base takes us west where we’ll stay on the high alpine meadows of Alpe di Siusi to
DAYS 1 to 5 - EASTERN DOLOMITES / CORTINA D’AMPEZZO AREA Our time here is flexible and can vary depending on weather and light, but we’ll make sure we shoot all of the locations in the area: • Tre Cime di Lavarado • Cadina di Misurina • Lago Federa and the Croda da Lago • Lago di Braies • Passo Giau • Passo Falzarego and Lago di Limedes We’ll pick you up from Venice Marco Polo Airport at 12h30 and transfer you to our first base next to the beautiful Lago Misurina, near Cortina d’Ampezzo, and after settling into our rooms we’ll head out for our first sunset shoot on the first evening. This are is one of the most beautiful parts in all the Dolomites, with the jagged spires of the Tre Cime national park a short drive away, and the high passes of Passo Giau and Falzarego also close by. We’ll certainly be spending lots of time in the Tre Cime area, where we’ll hike around the famous three peaks to get to different points from where we can unlock the almost unlimited potential of this incredible place. There are the trails south of Rifugio Auronzo, which give uninterrupted views of the stunning peaks of Cadina di Misurina as well as views of the Tre Cime towers themselves, like all lit from the side as the sun sets. We’ll also hike around the southern side of the peaks and up the saddle to the Forcella ridge, which gives the iconic view facing west towards the Tre Cime peaks with the setting sun behind.
We’ll head deeper into the park to Rifugio Locatelli, which gives views of both the Tre Cime peaks but also the spires of Monte Paterno alongside. There really is so much to see in the Tre Cime natural park that we can make multiple trips there, at both sunrise and sunset, and each time shoot a completely different view from another location. However, during our time here we’ll also make sure we visit other stunning locations in the area. We’ll head up to Passo Giau for a sunset shoot, which gives us the wide angel panorama of Ra Gusela or more telephoto images of the western Dolomite peaks or towards Cinque Torri. We’ll also head up to the neighbouring Passo Falzarego, from where we make the short hike to Lago Limedes whose waters perfectly reflects Mount Tofana as the sun comes up. From this base we’ll also head up to Lago Federa where the waters are deep and sheltered by trees and the towering cliffs of Croda da Lago, and so are almost always perfectly still. Access here is limited, so we’ll head up with an 4x4 alpine taxi to give us plenty of time to be in the best position for the first light of the day rising above the trees. Another nearby location is the iconic Lago di Braies where floating row boats contrast with the torquoise waters. It’s an easy location where we can focus on composing shots with the peaks reflected in the perfectly still waters, or work on abstracts of the boats. Other nearby locations that we may visit depending on weather are Mondavel, with it’s views towards Pelmo, or Cascate di Fanes, a waterfall which works particularly well in overcast weather. During our stay here we’ll make use of the hotel’s conference room to do a couple of post-processing sessions. These will be tailored to suit the differing levels and requirements of our clients and can range from Lightroom basics through to Photoshop Luminosity Masks and more advanced techniques. Because we have such small groups most of the post- processing sessions can be carried out on a one-to-one basis or in pairs, and the sessions will be recorded to give everyone access to them later. Our stay here will be in 4 star hotel overlooking Lago Misurina, and we’ll eat our main meals will be at a local pizzaria, one of the best in the Dolomites, where the owner, Angelo, has become a good friend over the years we’ve been doing workshops and going there to eat.
DAYS 6 & 7 - ALPE DI SIUSI Once again, our time here is flexible and can vary depending on weather and light, but we’ll make sure we shoot all of the locations in the area: • Alpe di Siusi sunrise and sunset • Sciliar mountain • Chiesa di San Valentino After breakfast on the Day 5 we’ll pack our stuff, check out of the hotel and make the journey to the Western Dolomites. We’ll arrive at our next base in Alpe di Siusi, a large alpine meadow covered with wooden huts and pine trees that overlooks the almost vertical peaks of Sassalungo and Sassopiato. The plain itself feels almost like it comes from a picture book with the wooden huts scattered across the rolling hills beneath the two jagged peaks, and if we’re lucky we may get a layer of mist in the morning which makes for wonderful telephoto abstracts of the huts and trees
The location works wonderfully at both sunrise and sunset, and there are so many different possible compositions, so we’ll ensure we have plenty of time exploring this incredible area. Our stay here will be in a 4 star hotel located on the Alpe di Siusi, and we’ll eat most of our dinners at the hotel, which serves really spectacular food. Again, during our time here we’ll have post processing session looking at how we can get the best out of the images we’ve captured on the trip so far. DAY 8 - TRANSFER TO VENICE AIRPORT - 8h We’ll have breakfast first thing then check out of the hotel and take you back to Venice where we say our goodbyes.

For example, reaching Forcella, the ridge at the eastern side of Tre Cime de Lavaredo requires around 40 minutes of walking, most of which is flat and along a very good trail, but there is an incline to the ridge at the end with an altitude gain of around 100m. The longest hike takes us to Rifugio Locatelli, which is around an hour and 40 minutes hiking with an altitude gain of 150m. Additionally, any altitude gain means that we’ll have to descend when we return, and after sunset this will be in the dark and using torchlight. All of these hikes are done at altitudes of around 2000m, sometimes a little more, so everything is a little more demanding and you will feel fatigue much more quickly than at sea level. There is nothing technical on any of the hikes and anyone with a reasonable level of fitness will be able to manage it, but it should also have a bearing on what camera equipment you bring with you as you’ll sometimes be carrying it for a couple of hours while we make these hikes so heavy packs should be avoided as much as possible.

OUR ENVIRONMENTAL PLEDGE
We aim to make our workshops as close to carbon neutral as possible and partner with Sustainable Travel
International to ensure that our carbon footprint is offset and our environmental impact is reduced. Sustainable
Travel International works with local communities, governments and businesses, and invests in projects which aim to
conserve ecosystems, reduce tourism’s carbon footprint and lesson the amount of waste and pollution from tourism.
We also believe in working with local suppliers as much as possible so the costs of our workshops go towards
supporting the local economies, and we also practice a “leave no trace” policy to ensure that the beautiful
landscape and natural environments that we spend time in are left exactly as we find them.TERMS & CONDITIONS Payment This workshop is costed in Euros and that is thus the only constant price due to the fluctuations of the exchange rate prices in other currencies. In order to secure your place on this workshop a deposit of €1500,00, payable via wire transfer, is required. Please note that your spot on the workshop is not confirmed until we have received the deposit payment. Full Payment must be made 90 days prior to the start of the workshop when we will send out an invoice for the full amount to clients.

We are unable to offer any refund for participants who, for any reason, leave a workshop already in progress as we will already have made full payments towards accommodation, vehicle hire etc. We reserve the right to cancel a workshop in case of insufficient enrolment which might make the tour financially unviable, or due to concerns about the potential safety and welfare of participants.
