  • Early this February I was invited along to accompany my good Italian buddy and co host photographer, Luigi Nespeca, on one of his day workshops here in Abruzzo Italy. There is no other photographer in Italy that knows this area as well as he does, and it was a great opportunity for me to check out a new area for future workshops I head in this rugged region of Italy. Although we were set to photograph on location the ice that should set over the lake, on this day it just didn’t happen. Maybe the water below was just too warm due to a late winter start this year. Just the same conditions paid off for some interesting photography and video to share for you guys on CZcams.
    Here in this video I share with you some of my composition techniques, and what to do when light isn't good and you are forced to make the best out of a mad situation.
    I hope you enjoy the content and find it useful. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel if you already haven't, like the video, click the notifications button for my next video and I would love to see your comments here on the video. It all helps keep the photography community alive.
    This June I will be heading another workshop in Abruzzo together with Paul Thomson and co host Luigi Nespeca. If your interested in coming along with us click the link below.

    Very cool video! I surely know the spot by watching the landscape with fresh eyes always offers new ideas!!
    Great shot my friend, the first one of the ice is stellar and the one of the dogs is the best I've ever seen about the symbols of this land: the Mountains, the herding, the snow, the hard life. Great job! ciao

    Snow! Real snow? Wow. I got like two days of snow this year. In middle of Europe. Two days. Man, how I envy you.
    Great photos, I liked those abstract ones even if I am not much into art photography. They were interesting in their own way.

      Yeh we had a great dumping here in italy about 3 weeks ago. It was a very late winter. Glad you liked the abstracts. They were purely an example to show what you can do when the landscape and light doesn’t inspire. There are always possibilities to find hidden treasures

    A total enjoyment! The coffee stop was super! The reason we shoot, no! Me. Exercise. If there's good images, all the better. Bravo. Glad to see Pentax. I use film in mine. Maybe think about anolder one. Lots of Pentax Lenses..

    Hi Matt, I really enjoy your videos and all the other content that you provide to us (Instagram, Facebook and personal website (gold mine :))). We should appreciate more your insightful advice, micro-details about your technique and the ideas behind all those great photos. That should be respected. Those macros with 70-200 were fantastic! Especially the first one, definitely the wallpaper cover :)
    I hope you will find the inspiration and time to do more content like this in the future. Again, I wish you the best!

      That’s really emotional to here those words. The inspiration to produce content for viewers and for my personal work is always there. Video does however take a lot of time and effort to produce, and with such a saturated media ones work is hard to be appreciated. However comments like yours and others I have received recently does however give me the urge to produce more video for you
      Thanks for your precious time

    This looks like a great shooting location. You have captured some wonderful images. I think that it's quite nice to shoot in a group, usually you are the only one with a Pentax.

    Loved the video Matt, I've said it before and I'll say it again, your videos are brilliant and I always look forward to them, keep them coming. Those ice images with the 200mm were beautiful, amazing detail too. I always listen to what you have to say on the Landscape Photography Vlogcast, hopefully you might be able to get the actor Bill Ward landscape and ICM Pentaxian photographer on the vlogcast one day. Have a great week Matt and thanks for another fantastic video 👏

    I know you shoot with a Pentax k1 and the Pentax k-3 Mark 3 and the monochrome
    I shoot with the Pentax K-70
    So my question is
    How do you set the camera up
    So I can use a live view and move the focusing with the 4 arrow keys
    I have asked this question before
    To other people who use Pentax camera such as mine and yours and none of them can give me a straight
    I need to be able to see the focus spot square in live view exactly the same as you were able to do I am completely unable to see through the view finder
