How will it go?
Day 1 | 07 May 2023
We arrive in Yerevan in the late afternoon. After which, we will be whisked to our hotel to check in. After an hour of rest, we will meet again to have dinner and get acquainted with one another, discuss what to expect in the next few days, and a review of photography techniques applicable to our trip, and other important matters.
Day 2 | 08 May 2023
We leave before day break. Although, our accommodation includes breakfast, we cannot wait for it. I recommend the night before, that you buy some fruits, bread, Armenian pastry or sandwich, and have a quick breakfast in your own room. Or you can bring it along. We will be out the whole day today, trying to take advantage of the light, especially the early morning and the late afternoon light. That means, we will have lunch somewhere in our itinerary, and won’t be back until evening. And then we return to our hotel, freshen up for half an hour or less, and then go out to have dinner nearby, and discuss the shoot of the day, and what to expect for tomorrow.
Day 3 | 09 May 2023
Today, we have time to have a quick breakfast in our hotel. We leave before 630AM, hoping the skies will be clear to include Mt. Ararat in our shots. We will also have a lunch stop at a wine factory before we proceed to our next photo subject. For those who are interested, you can also avail of the wine-making tour and wine-tasting experience where we will have lunch. I expect we will be back in the city by 6 PM. But we are not done yet! We proceed to a place overlooking the city for a late afternoon to dusk shoot. Then have dinner and talk about the shoot of the day, and what to expect for tomorrow.
Day 4 | 10 May 2023
We wake up early and leave the hotel for a city photo walk at 530AM. We should be back at our hotel by 830AM for the breakfast. Afterwards, you choose between two options: 1) you can stay with me as I discuss the basics of using Capture One Pro to edit the photos we took; 2) you can have your me-time and meet up at 1130AM for lunch. And then leave for our out-of-the-city destination for the day after lunch. We expect to be back in the city by 9 PM, have dinner, have a bit of discussion over the day’s shoot, and enjoy our last night in Yerevan.
Day 5 | 11 May 2023
Today, will be a less hectic and tiring day. We leave the hotel at 530AM for a pre-breakfast photowalk in the city. We will be back at the hotel by 9AM, for the late breakfast. You can then opt to go around yourself and take more pictures, shop around or rest in the hotel. You can do as you like. But we need to check out by 12PM. And then have lunch nearby. It is better to have lunch in the city before leaving for the airport at 230PM. And, home sweet home.
