Up at the crack of dawn and it was spectacular. We were able to capture a few shots off the patio while filling our coffee thermos' and heading off to Korcula City for an early morning shoot.
The walled city of Korcula is like a miniature version of Dubrovnik - beautiful stone patios, walls, carvings and boats. The early morning light is perfect as it sparkles off the water onto the walls through trees. The walkways are free of tourist crowds - only the locals are walking by to go for a swim, catch a fish or get to their job at the numerous cafes that open by 9am - just in time for our coffee break.
Here we have the opportunity to shoot all types of light, shadows, silhouettes and starbursts as well as all the shapes that combine to make a good photo - all in one location.
We were back on the patio eating breakfast by 10am. After a rest and time to download and view our morning shoot we met on the patio in the early afternoon to review our shoots from the previous two days. Here Willie leads the discussion giving pointers and tips and guiding the discussion as we view each others images and way of shooting. Afterwards it was time for a rest, swim or quiet read.
Early evening scouted the grape harvesting, captured some evening glow over a churchyard and timed exactly how long a drive it is to where we will shoot the sunrise tomorrow morning - 6am on location!
My general impression of Lumbarda was great, so I can only recommend anyone to consider this as a place to stay, when you make summer holiday in Croatia. An invaluable resource for guests looking for budget apartments in Lumbarda can be found here.
