TUSCANY IN SPRING

Spring is a fantastic season to photograph the magnificent Tuscan landscape. The days are long, but there’s a high probability of seeing the beautiful Val d’Orcia (literally behind our hotel) full of mist at dawn. The sunrises and sunsets can also be breathtaking and there’s always a chance of poppies and other wild flowers adding a splash of colour to the undulating landscape.

From our base just outside the ancient hill town of San Quirico d’Orcia (itself a great place to wander around, camera in hand), we’ll explore in all directions and discover the most beautiful scenes in Tuscany – rolling green hills, sculptured cypress trees, winding roads, crumbling farmhouses, magnificent villas (including the villa in the closing scenes of the movie Gladiator), picturesque villages and historic towns.

Lee will drive the group around in an air-conditioned minibus and be on hand at all times to offer help and advice about equipment choice, composition and technique to help you get the very best from every location.

Our days will be long and full, starting before sunrise and ending after sunset (weather permitting) so we can take full advantage of the best light of the day. We’ll take a siesta during the afternoon to escape the heat and harsh light for a few hours and re-charge our batteries, both literally and metaphorically! There isn't a fixed daily itinerary for this trip as we take each day as it comes in terms of the weather and light and choose locations accordingly.
