Introduction
The Kanoni peninsula, famous for the photos of Pontikonissi (Mouse island) taken from the balcony where the Russian canons still stand today, is often overlooked for many of its other qualities, particulary when its come to photography. 

The forested peninsula forms the second largest lagoon of the island, today a NATURA 2000 nature reserve as it hosts a large community of birds and acts as a natural fish farm producing significant quantities of fresh fish.

Unusually, it also surrounds the islands only airport runway, making it the most photogenic runway in the world. There are more than twenty vantage points from where airplanes can be filmed or photographed as they land and take off, including one directly in line with the aircrafts, flying less than 100 meters above you.

If birds and planes are not your thing, there is the Monastery of Vlacherna sitting on its own tiny islet and of course The church of Pantokratoras on Pontikonissi island, which can be accessed by boat service every 15 min.

This is probably the single most photographed area of Corfu island and deservedly so, but trying to find a good one though is another matter. The main problem is that very, very few people ever take the time to appreciate the place, let alone do justice to it with a camera.  Make the effort and you will be handsomely rewarded.

The Kanoni peninsula is a location where it gives you opportunities to create, or capture great images and will push anyone's abilities to the limit, both technically and creatively.

You will need

Apart from all you camera equipment, you will need Sun protection and mosquito repellant, depending on the time of the day.

You may also find it irresistible to go for a swim so come prepared.

There is some walking involved during the day, but not enough to consider it a hike. The pace will be very slow and constantly interrupted with shutters going off.

Subjects of Interest 

There are three primary subjects of interest in this part of the island. Landscapes, nature, including some wildlife and of course airplanes, all three can be your primary subject, or backdrops for portraits.

It is a place where you can put to good use just about and focal length, but as a minimum I would suggest a wide angle lens, at least 20mm wide and a zoom up to 200mm.

For portraits, a fill in flash or reflector is highly desirable, to manage the strong sunlight and/or heavy shadows.
Itinerary

Meeting point is the famous Café Kanoni balcony with its panoramic view, from where you can be snapping incoming aircraft while sipping a coffee. In between arrivals and departures, the day will start with some technical talk regarding the challenges of shooting such diverse subjects in strong sunlight.

There are three main subjects you can choose to shoot in this small area. Landscapes, action and wildlife. The day is spent moving from one vantage point to another from where you can choose to shoot whatever like. I will be on hand to assist, or answer any questions you have.
