31 aug 2009 AD

The base camp will be set in Biertan, between 17-19th of September.Is one of the most beautiful villages built around a fortified church in Transylvania.

There comes a time in every photographer’s life, when pictures are just too sharp, which calls for playing with the lens through fog. In September, over the hills nearby Tarnava Mare River, fall still keeps some of summer’s colors, morning mist floats gently over valleys and shepherds are driving slowly their flock on stubbles…



Anyone who loves photography can take part at this session, being skilled is not a must. We promise to take care of that part. However, we do not accept grumpy people.

Biertan / Birthaelm
The folks of Biertan, sensible people but with a tendency to be on the stingy side, claimed that the people of Medias, who were up to no good, had tricked them. The story goes that, long ago, representatives of the two burgs were sent to the King so he would decide which one of the two would be the capital for the seat of the county.
