The night sky hides beauties that our eyes cannot capture. With the use of 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 region of the Canyons of Cambará do Sul / RS , the photographer Victor Lima will reveal the secrets for capturing nocturnal images of nature and landscapes, including the choice of equipment, the planning of sections, the capture and treatment of images .

Cambará do Sul is a small town located 184 km from Porto Alegre / RS, better known for being the Land of the Canyons in Brazil. Owner of the largest set of canyons in South America, the gaucho Cambará do Sul sees a 250-kilometer mountain range of canyons grow underfoot, between the Campos de Cima da Serra and the coast, between Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina.

The National Parks of Aparados da Serra and Serra Geral, in the region of Cambará do Sul, are home to the most beautiful canyons in Brazil, Itaimbezinho and Fortaleza, respectively. This will be the setting for this workshop that promises to reveal the nocturnal beauty of the Southern Canyons.
