Autumn in Moravia - A Photography Tour

Our autumn photography tour to Moravia will take place in October and will be led by Ed Rumble and Tom Sullam.

Nestled between the Carpathian Mountains to the southeast, the Austrian Alps in the south west and the Sudetes to the north, Moravia forms one of the three historical provinces of Czechia along with Bohemia and Czech Silesia. This ancient Margraviate, once an imperial state of the Holy Roman Empire, takes its name from the Morava River, a tributary of the Danube, and occupies most of the eastern reaches of Czechia, with Brno as its capital. Today, it is home to around a quarter of Czechs. Yet, away from the main industrial conurbations of Brno and its once co-capital Olomouc, it feels sparsely populated and timeless, with its concentration on farming and viniculture.

The joy of photographing this region lies in the beautiful undulations in the landscape, overlaid with patchwork fields and cris crossed by regimented tree avenues, vineyards and the lines of the tractor and plough. We visit at the end of October when highlights and shadows cast from the low autumn sun beautifully model the rippled vistas. Wonderful golden foliage flecks the verdant green waves of winter crops and the earthy tones of fallow fields. No wonder it is often referred to as the ‘Czech Tuscany’. Further north, there are attractive windmills and tiny chapels nestled in small groves that make for pretty punctuation marks in this beautiful landscape. Medieval castle ruins atop rocky hills and outcrops provide further romance and historical context in this modern agrarian region. The cool autumn mornings are often graced with whisps of mist rising from the fertile soils, enhancing the mood and painterly nature of our images. Moravia has it all and is a wonderful, relatively undiscovered place to immerse oneself in creating some truly unique and special landscape images.

Using long telephoto lenses with focal lengths of 300-400mm will enable us to compress perspective and pick out striking compositions of form, shape and texture. We shall aim to foray into the landscape each morning and evening to take advantage of the best light, while taking time to recuperate during the middle of the day and perhaps review, discuss and process our images. We shall be reenergised in the evenings by the local hearty fare and perhaps a glass or two of the famed Czech Pilsner or some of the excellent local wines. Indeed, there will be the opportunity for a private dinner and tasting at a local vineyard, hosted by the winemaker during the tour. 

Ed and Tom are experienced photographers who delight in sharing their passion and technical knowledge in a good-humoured and approachable style to help you get the most out of this tour and return with a portfolio of images of which to be proud. The tour includes an image sharing and review session with Ed and Tom on Tuesday, 24th November at 5 pm, which has proven to be a popular opportunity for guests to reconvene and receive constructive feedback on their images or simply enjoy the perspectives of fellow participants.

Luxury Editions

Essentially, a Luxury Editions tour is an exclusive micro learning group with five star tuition and treatment in all aspects of the tour. Each year a small number of ‘Luxury Editions’ tours will run where the group numbers no more than four photographers per tutor. Here the learning approach is more intensive where the leader is able to offer constant ‘hands-on guidance’ allowing them an opportunity to work in depth with each individual photographer in addition to working with the group on a collective basis. In addition to this, the accommodation will be of a high standard and special extras will be included. These tours are only taught by our long standing leaders who have years of experience and are highly sought after. If you would like to join a Luxury Edition tour, then the requirement would simply be a complete understanding of the workings of the camera and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop.

Off the Beaten Track

Our 'Off the Beaten Track' tours cater for those more adventurous photographers who would like to get off the beaten track and explore roads untrodden or delve into the culture of a place. Groups are small and you can be assured that although the tour leader will have an in-depth knowledge of the location, you may veer off track if an unplanned photography opportunity presents itself! The tuition is five star on these tours. The accommodation varies on these tours from mid range hotels, shared cabins on a ship to basic and clean camps. Our priority is to get you to the best locations in time for the best shot and if this means camping half way up a mountain then so be it! Our 'Off the Beaten Track' tutors will have experience and knowledge of the area, so you can be assured that you will be completely taken care off to allow you to concentrate on that award winning image. If you would like to join an ‘Off the Beaten Track’ tour, then a good knowledge of your camera would be an advantage, but not essential, and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. We do also ask that you have a good level of fitness as these tours could involve a large amount of walking. Check each tours description for requirements.

Classic

Our Classic tours are aimed at those who wish to discover unique locations, but at a more leisurely pace than the Off the Beaten Track tours. There will be ample time to immerse yourself in the location and spend time on your photography. Classic tours also focus on sunrise and sunset (which are optional for those who like to sleep in!) and have a slightly larger group size (max 8 per tutor) to allow the social side of photography to be appreciated. Tuition is five star and hotels are mid-high range depending on the tour. Every classic tour is different so do refer to the tour description for details of accommodation and locations visited. If you would like to join a ‘Classic’ tour, then a good knowledge of your camera would be an advantage, but not essential, and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. Fitness levels required vary depending on the tour so do check the exertion level under the description tab.

Our tutors have an in-depth knowledge of the location and will take you to undiscovered spots to ensure you come away with a varied selection of images that you are proud of. If you would like to join a ‘City’ tour, the requirement would simply be a complete understanding of the workings of the camera and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. Fitness levels required vary depending on the tour so do check the exertion level under the description tab.
