Conditions of participation Photo tour program General information
Autumn is one of the magnificent moments of nature, which all photographers of Crimea and not only are waiting for. This event gathers all lovers of beautiful landscapes in the Crimea. Autumn finally comes into its own in mid-October, dressing in gold the crowns of old beeches. The sea is still warm and sends fogs to the foot of the mountains, turning tree giants into fairy-tale heroes. It is the best time for shooting the most beautiful landscapes, not only at dawn-sunset, but also at night, when the Milky Way is visible.
We are waiting for unforgettable moments in the golden forest among the huge and old beech of bizarre forms, the sunset on the famous Sunny glade of Mount Demerdzhi, shooting the famous lighthouse in the sunset rays of the sun on Cape Chersonese, shooting the dawn on the top of Mount Ai-Petri and on Mount Ilyas-Kaya with a magnificent view of the mystical Sun Temple, night shooting at the Peak Cosmos and Mount Demerdzhi and many other amazing places. A very rich program in the most beautiful places of the autumn Crimea.
Interesting? So come with us!
