Apollo Photography
NaturesLens' Apollo photography holidays offer a chance to work with one of Europe's most striking mountain butterflies, its translucent wings and red eyespots providing plenty of scope for detailed macro work. These trips are geared towards photographers keen to slow down and study a single subject closely, making the most of quiet mountain settings where the butterflies can be approached carefully. It's a rewarding subject for anyone wanting to build a strong macro portfolio alongside a small group of like-minded photographers.
Where NaturesLens Photographs the Apollo
NaturesLens runs its Apollo photography holidays in Bulgaria, as part of the Bulgarian Mountain Butterfly Macro trip, typically scheduled for July. The itinerary takes in Gotse Delchev, Govedartsi, the Rila Monastery area and Yundola Pass, giving photographers several distinct mountain locations in which to find and photograph this species. Running the holiday in July allows NaturesLens to time visits to these sites for when Apollo activity makes them worth exploring in depth.
