the night sky hides beauties that our eyes cannot capture. Using advanced photographic techniques and taking advantage of the evolution of photographic equipment and image editing software, we can reveal the spectacle of light and color that takes place daily in the skies around the world.

In this workshop in the city of Cunha/SP, photographer Victor Lima will reveal the secrets for capturing night images of nature and landscape, including the choice of equipment, the planning of sections, the capture and treatment of images.

Cunha-SP is an extremely rural city, which favors contact with nature and adds a certain charm to the itinerary. trails, waterfalls and ecological tours. There are 230 km from São Paulo, it is located at the intersection of the Mar, Bocaina and Mantiqueira mountains, and borders the State of Rio de Janeiro. That's why cariocas and paulistas have chosen the destination as a refuge to rest your mind in the bucolic climate of the mountains.

On the road between Cunha-SP and Paraty there is a trail to Pedra da Macela. From the top of the rock formation, at an altitude of 1.8 km, it is possible to see a good part of the coast of Rio de Janeiro, such as the historic village of Paraty, Ilha Grande and Angra dos Reis. It is in this breathtaking scenery that the Landscape Astrophotography sections will take place on this trip.
