Colours in the Orfento valley

Riserva Naturale Valle dell'Orfento

Our set will be the Orfento valley, one of the most beautiful valleys that affect the Maiella.

The route will start near the Ranger Station. In possession of the necessary permission to go into the deep valley, we will walk the path of said " Scalelle " all downhill until we get to the clear waters of the Orfento creek. Proceeding down the valley we will have a series of spectacular shots in a breathtaking setting enriched by the colors of Autumn . The peculiar atmosphere supports a rich presence of rare plant species and valuable High rock walls which enclose the path and the waters flow noisy now on a bed of rocks , then between boulders and foaming rapids or waterfalls .

Our task will be to guide you to find the beautiful pictures and get the best shot, to a clever and creative use of camera, to the research for the right exposure.

We will also discuss about the use of shutter speeds for creative effects on the movement of water and also about the use of a polarizing filter with this kind of photography.

The trail leads to the two sides of the river by wooden bridges that cross it several times until the Caramanico bridge base , here a quick climb of about 80 meters brings us to a very close parking lot where we will have our transports to bring us back to the base.

The day will end in a media room where, with the help of a video projector and a computer, there will be a critical reading of the pictures and post-production examples with the use of Adobe Lightroom.
