Rabka Zdroj and southern Poland is highly recommended for a photography holiday. The scenery is magnificent and there is a range of unusual subjects that will make you want to keep clicking and taking photos. - May is Photomonth in Krakow. It is accompanied by various exhibitions of photographs. There is also a Museum of photography in ulica Jozefitow 16.
Landscape photographers will be in their seventh heaven - the countryside is beautiful. There are forests, lakes, rural scenes, rivers, hills and the Tatra mountains fringing Zakopane. In Poland you can still capture an image of a horse ploughing a field or meadows of colourful wild flowers.  Wildlife photographers have the opportunity of taking photographs of storks, unusual birds and butterflies, and horses galore.
The people look different and dress differently - plenty of characters to capture for portrait photography from old wrinkled grannies in head scarves, colourful gypsies, to beautiful young women and Poles in national dress. Various effects can be captured in the hills around Rabka. There are days following rain when low lying cloud fills the valleys and floats below the hill tops - especially in the autumn. The autumn is good for colourful photographs when the trees turn red and gold. See autumn holidays in Poland. In winter, a hard frost and snow bring sparkling long icicles adorning window sills and gutters, rivers frozen into ice sculptures and stunning pristine scenery. Digital photographers may need to keep their cameras and batteries warm in freezing conditions or they stop working. Summers are long and hot. The countryside remains green and is good for taking photographs of rural life and people relaxing Polish style.
