This beautiful trip starts in San Daniele del Friuli (Province of Udine), a town famous for its raw ham, in fact I recommend a nice lunch at Prosciutteria IE San Daniele, where you can eat a very good ham and also visit the ham museum upstairs . After lunch, our trip to the lakes begins just a few minutes away by car, the first is the Ragogna lake to follow the Cornino lake and finally the largest of all, the Cavazzo lake. Finally we come to Lake Cavazzo, the particularity of this lake and which bathes the territory of three municipalities, Cavazzo Carnico, Bordano and Trasaghis, in fact it is also called the lake of the 3 municipalities. This is a photographic trip for everyone, simple sneakers are enough, I recommend bringing a zoom lens (at least 300mm) to photograph the fauna, especially if you want to do birdwatching but also a lens for long exposures and therefore also a tripod and filters ND, for spectacular photos on the lakes, pay attention only to the reflection of the sun on the lake during rush hour.

Some prefer to call it Virtual Photography others Video Game Photography or Gaming Photography but the goal is always the same, to photograph within a video game. Many will have noticed, especially in video games released in recent years, such as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla or Ghost of Tsushima, have a real photo mode within the game, to fully satisfy the desire to photograph scenarios, highlights and/or portraits of their favorite characters. The most famous case is certainly by Eva and Franco Mattes with their project 13 Most Beautiful Avatars, a series of portraits depicting avatars from the famous Second Life video game, which was exhibited at the Postmasters Gallery in New York Not to mention Duncan Harrys, became famous for taking pictures of him on Dishonored, made thanks to a mod that allowed him to modify the source code to shoot freely. Those photos were so beautiful that Arkane Studios hired him for other photographic work within their video games.

Smartphone photography is now a reality that should not be underestimated, as well as being within everyone’s reach, there are many photo competitions that are emerging, among the most famous and the longest-running, we can mention the iPhone Photography Awards (IPPAWARDS).
