Michelle’s photos & testimonial
Last month Michelle contacted me regarding a Ljubljana Photo Walk. We agreed to do it on a Sunday morning and we met at Presern square. We spent about four hours photographing around the old town. The time went by quickly and Michelle was a great student, highly motivated and passionate about photography, not afraid to ask questions and above all – a quick learner. We both enjoyed the workshop and agreed to meet next weekend with her family to try some portraiture in Tivoli park. Below you can find her testimonial and some of her shots from both weekends.
Mary’s testimonial
Last Autumn was very nice and we did a successful photographic tour in Slovenia. Although the Autumn colours were not at their best yet everybody enjoyed anyway. Our Australian guest Mary Louise just sent us a feedback and allowed us to post some of her photos.
Winter @ Velika Planina
Velika Planina plateau is a great place for photography, no matter which time of the year you visit it. My favourite time is winter, just after fresh snowfall. It is easy accessible by cable car that takes you directly to the ski resort and then it is possible to take another chair lift to the top. Personally I prefer walking up from the other side to Mala Planina and then to Velika planina. To take advantage of morning and evening light it is a good idea to overnight at one of the mountain huts at Mala Planina.
First Snowfall
Winter is finally here! It is snowing almost in entire Slovenia and the forecast expects two more days of snowfall. Yesss! After a dull late Autumn we have again new possibilities for photographing. Ljubljana is covered in snow and today I took a short walk through the old town. Lovely. Fresh air, festive atmosphere and pure white snow! And it gets even better – tomorrow we are going to the old town again – to have a cooked wine and to make some evening shots of beautifully decorated city!
Beauty of Vineyards
On our Autumn colours tour in October this year we visited Northeastern Slovenia. We spent there two wonderful days and we managed to catch some beautiful light – ideal for landscape photos. On the way there we also stopped at Ptuj – one of the oldest and best preserved medieval town of Slovenia. Our base was private wine cellar that has a few rooms available to rent. The host family surprised everyone with its friendliness, mother is an excellent cook and their own wine was a perfect supplement for her delicious meals.
Flight over Julian Alps
Julian Alps is the highest region of Slovenia. It lies to the North-East of the country and a big part of the area is protected as a Triglav National Park. The park is named after the highest peak of Slovenia, Mt. Triglav (2864 m). The mountain is a true national symbol and is featured on the national coat of arms and the flag.
On our tours we spend at least four nights in the area of Lake Bled and Soca river valley. Only this way we can fully appreciate the beauty of the Julian Alps and the Triglav NP. Most of the area where we take our guests are easily accessible and do not require too much of walking. Within these four days we cover most of the natural attractions such as lakes, rivers, waterfalls and mountains.

Summer is a prime time to visit Slovenia; the weather is stable and nature is in abundance. Green is the dominant colour in summer – forests are green, meadows and rivers too. It is the perfect time for hiking or a vacation by the sea. Alpine flowers are thriving and the last remnants of snow are melting. It seems that everybody is outdoors l– hikers, cyclists, water-sports enthusiasts, and even photographers…
