Going up a mountain in the dark and waiting for hours at the spot full of hope until the sunrise finally presents itself. And then to see with the own eyes that everything was worth it. That’s what I call the most beautiful gift that I can receive in landscape photography. Unfortunately, it is usually the opposite the case. But if you are lucky from time to time and you can experience a wonderful game of light and colors in the sky, you will be given the power to do that again and again. I must confess that this morning when I made this shot here I was hoping for some more clouds and spectacle in the sky, but I had to take what was there! Here I used just a polarizer to soften the light and I must say that I use this filter quite a lot! I hope you like my image and thanks for watching.

The morning, when I took this shot here, I just let myself go with the flow. Instead of specifically looking for foregrounds to use for shots, I decided to just walk behind my dog and enjoy the area. When suddenly this spot appeared in front of me. Oh boy, what a happy coincidence. In the middle of nowhere I stood in front of this beautiful plant. And I clearly took the picture. At home when enlarging the image I had to laugh, because on the right top place of the plant a very long spin cloth was hanging connected to the nearest rock. Instead of cloning it away I left the spider web there and I love it as it is.

I had to return a dozen of times to this wonderful and not so well known place till this one day when the atmosphere was exactly how I had in my mind. Waiting some time in the dark and looking towards the right direction for the sunrise. And it was worth all the times I returned here and going home without any shot. But this time I was rewarded with a magnificent experience. How beautiful nature can be I thought and how sensitiv everything is. I hope I can return for many years and encounter the place without any disappointment.

Well, as always when I have the chance I try to go up a mountain as I simply love the vistas and the possibilities such areas often have to offer. This one here was such an opportunity as you can see. On my way up during the morning hours before sunrise I could find this two cool rocks and I liked how they were positioned towards the upcoming sunrise. All I had to do was to position the tripod and the cam correctly and prayed for a great sunrise.

Well, many of you have already seen that I was one week ago with my buddy Markus Brandstetter and Matthias from Kase Filters Germany in the Swiss Alps scouting for new spots for future workshops. Well, as you know I’m always here in the mountains and so we could find a lot of places. What you see here is the entry of one of those fabulous spots of the region we found. Of course, this shot was made one month earlier. It was early October when I visited this place. And although I did not find any clouds the early morning long before the sun came up, I still was lucky enough after sunrise. Actually, I never take pictures at this time of the day, but I liked how the left part of the valley was lit up by the sun and I hope you like it as well.
