Photo tour guided in the Danube Delta

Photo workshop with four teams, each with a different theme

I have been invited by a big insurance company for a day and a half to have a photographic workshop for her 60 employees.
I presented them four photographic themes specific to a delta:
1. People as they are;
2. Birds and animals;
3. Details found;
4. Landscape.

The next morning, after breakfast, we boarded on four boats.
I went to the guided tour, each boat being a team with one of the themes I described the night before.

*People as they are* photographic category of contest

I started taking pictures of the first boat, which had the theme * People as they are *.
Photo galleries belong to me, and I will also post photos of the teams after I make a selection of the ones they sent.

This is one of the favorite themes of tourists and photographers visiting the Danube Delta.

*Details Found* category of photography

The third team’s photo theme was * Details found *.
I gave this theme because I know many photographers pay close attention to the details.

*Landscape* in Danube Delta

Last team but not least, received beautiful photo theme * Landscape *!
The water flowing on the ground with the reed and the trees losing to the horizon, has something hypnotic.
Whether you are on a boat or on the ground, the Danube Delta is a gold mine for landscape photography.
