Most people have invested in high performance Digital SLR camera only to find themselves stuck in automatic mode. I hope as your guide to bring you into the great beyond, into the stunning scenery of the Austrian Alps to capture wonderful landscapes and nature in all its glory. You'll just need a desire to learn, a good pair of walking boots, a solid tripod and of course a DSLR camera too.

From May until October, a visit one of Austria's beauiful gorges  here you learn to capture its beauty with a camera and tripod.
