Paragliders on Monte Baldo – photographs of flights over Lake Garda
In this album I show paragliders on Monte Baldo in Italy, with Lake Garda and mountain slopes in the background. Colourful wings appear above a grassy slope, rocky cliffs and the broad surface of the lake. The series includes shots near the launch site and flights in which the paraglider becomes a tiny point in a vast space.
When photographing, I sought a balance between the movement of the pilot and the landscape. Closer frames reveal the wing and harness; wider views show the height, distant ridges and clouds obscuring the mountains. The green, turquoise and orange of the paragliders stand out clearly against the subdued background.
I took the photographs with a Canon EOS R6 Mark II, changing the focal length according to the distance of the paraglider and the selected part of the panorama. The settings can be checked in the EXIF data alongside the photographs. This combines sports and landscape photography: an observation of flight and my record of the mountain surroundings of Lake Garda.
