I have just returned from three wonderful days of photography at Lake Kerkini. I had a fantastic time. A great hotel with good food, a small, friendly group of fellow photographers, under the expert guidance of George. Although we hardly saw the sun during those days, it offered opportunities to take different kinds of photos (high key, long exposure). What I particularly appreciated was that George took us further out onto the lake, to the fishing grounds of thousands upon thousands of cormorants, among which an incredible number of pelicans were also trying to catch a fish. We were the only ones there and it felt like we had landed in a BBC Nature documentary, with only David Attenborough's voiceover missing. Undoubtedly the most beautiful moment of the trip for me and clear proof that a local guide, who is very familiar with the natural behaviour of the species living there, pays off. I will definitely be back.
