On Saturday, I had a few candidates in mind for my mountain adventure, but in the end, I decided to stick with my number one choice from the day before. I packed my backpack with everything I would need for the day, including snacks, water, and warm layers. The weather was chilly and cloudy, but I was determined to make the most of my day.
It was a really lazy Saturday morning where I didn’t plan anything. But I decided that I had to grab the opportunity and do at least a little hike to the local mountain.
For the past three years, we have been working from home, and every day, we would look out our windows and see the huge mountain range in the distance. It was a constant reminder of a challenge waiting to be conquered, a peak that we longed to reach.
The Bavarian Alps are known for their breathtaking natural beauty, and summertime is the perfect season to fully experience all the region has to offer. From blooming flowers to epic vistas, stunning lakes and towering mountains, a day spent exploring the Bavarian Alps is sure to be a memorable one.
I am thrilled to announce that my photos are now available as high-quality prints through the professional print service, Saal-Digital. For those who have been following my hiking adventures, this is a wonderful opportunity to bring a piece of the experience into your home.
Join me for a visit into a place that dates back to the year 1025. A huge load of history in a very special mood …
This hike was an experience in many terms: The views, the late spring in the mountains, that we did the trail as planned, all those opportunities and maybe found a location worth returning! And the confirmation that the best photos of a trail need not be from the summit but from anywhere on the trail!
I’m very much used to lots of color during my adventures. So it is always special to me to shoot in snowy scenes: just looking for structures that catch the eye and draw attention. The snowfall is a nice opportunity to play with the exposure time. Overall: an ideal time to practice and find new creative ways of perceiving the surrounding.
My last opportunity to take photos was during a really gorgeous hike in an autumn weather: Nice warm colors, all the leaves in the autumn colors. But this day – there were no colors anymore! The world was black, white and grey. I really had to get into recognizing and “seeing” motives again.
This is one of my early works that I really recall as taking a photo with some intention. Thus, I really recall it as one of the corner stones of my photography.
