Photography day C-mine - Genk, Belgium 

This location is so inviting for photography that a full day of photography is the only option. With only a pure hour of photography we do not do this amazing location short. C-mine shines both during the day and in the evening and of course we all want to capture that!

A relaxed photography day, where we don't have to leave very early and we don't have to be home very late.
From Tegelen (near Venlo) we can carpool for those who like it.

C-mine is perhaps the most beautiful old mine in Belgium when it comes to photography. There is also catering available and we spend part of the day indoors in the underground corridors. So we don't have to suffer cold! Please note that tripods are not allowed in the underground passages. The camera can simply be placed on the ground, possibly with a support.

What does the course of the workshop look like?

We leave from Tegelen, with anyone who wants to carpool. After all, this is better for the environment and so relaxed! Are you from another part of the Netherlands or is it more convenient to drive directly? That is possible and allowed, of course. We arrive at C-mine at noon. We have plenty of time to take pictures at our leisure, and of course we discuss the location well. There are eateries where you can get a snack around dinner time. In the early evening we will get started with evening photography, when everything is beautifully lit. We conclude with a spectacular light painting demonstration!
