Photography in Italy?

Question

I am an intermediate/professional photographer and I will be traveling to northern Italy for 2 weeks in June. I will have about 3-4 days that I would like to spend going to scenic areas to take some photographs. I would like to get off the beaten path and take some photos of the beautiful mountains and the lakes in northern Italy, similiar to this one... http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/538110

I am staying on the northern end of Lake Garda, specifically Torbole. Are there any beautiful lakes other then Lake Garda that are similiar to the one above that are fairly close to where I am staying? I do not mind paying to travel as long as it is not too expensive. Any help or suggestions would be a big help.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I would advise you MAggiore lake but maybe 3-4 days are not enough. There is a very small lake not so far from where you're staying that looks like the one of your link. It's called Carezza lake, Bolzano. Here is a link where you can find some pictures: http://www.skiforum.it/_photo/lago-carez...   and  also  http://www.lorett.info/lagocarezza.htm

I hope you lke it. Dolomiti mountains have a lot of breathtaking places too where you can take wonderful pictures.

P.S. congratulation for your work!

Answer 2

Beautiful photos. My favourite lake is lake Orta but it is a fair distance away from Garda. I would love to use some of your photos on my site if they are like the ones you show here - fantastic,

Answer 3

get yourself a good map, rent a car and shoot to hearts content. you will be close to heaven up there.

Answer 4

I don't have an answer to your question but your photograph is incredibly beautiful - a work of art! Good luck!

Answer 5

Hi!

If I were you, I would not miss the lago di Como.

The "Orrido di Nesso" is in my opinion one of the most pittoresque places on the lake.

It's the place where two brooks meet and form a cascade.

The vegetations is luxurious and you can admire the Orrido from a medieval bridge,

It is so beautiful that taking bad pictures is practically impossible! ;)
