Subjects : The main subjects that you can shoot on 'island' s Elba are obviously the beaches, there are more than 100 and are differentiated only by their geological diversity by the possibility to choose them from time to time depending on weather conditions and the direction in which the wind blows, which may make them more or less quiet from the point of view of swimming and boating. Not only are the beaches, however, offer insights photographic interest from the point of view of landscape. Indeed, thanks to its varied geological and thanks to its history, the island offers its visitors photo-opportunity to develop their own theme-making travel reportage photography portfolio ranging from village perched on the mountain (Marciana, Capoliveri) to classic seaside town (Porto Azzurro and Rio Marina) and inevitably the main center of the 'Island: Portoferraio. Finally, for lovers of macro photography can always take pictures at the nature trail dedicated to butterflies (about 2 km path from Mount Perone and comes just below the slopes of the mountain huts) or along the path of orchids on Mt Magnet in common Capoliveri (the latter is a walk of about 6 hours and then need a good physical form).
