Photographing the Alps - Stubai Valley Magic
This summer I visited the Stubai Valley three times. It's such a beautiful and photogenic area in the Austrian Alps that I just had to come back again and again. And I will certainly do so next year.
On my recent trip into the Alps I went to photograph a very special view. The week before I had already been hiking and scouting the area near Falbeson, but the weather wasn't right to take the photos I instantly had in mind as I stood up in the alpine valley.
So I came back and despite having a light cold, a long drive ahead of me and a less than ideal weather forecast it was the right thing to do.
The first day it was still quite cloudy and in the evening those clouds descended and unfortunately I couldn't get a photo of the peaks. But the lush green valley still made for a great subject once I had found the right composition.
The important thing was finding a suitable foreground and some leading lines. If you look closely at the photo above you'll see a lot of repetition of diagonals and shapes. This helped me to create a harmonic photo.
The night I spent in my sleeping bag in front of the hut, which you see in the photo above. The hut was booked, which is quite normal for a weekend. But sleeping on a bench beneath the porch was quite comfortable.
I still woke up a few times throughout the night and everytime I did I checked the sky. And it didn't look good. The clouds had descended even further and I was basically sleeping in the clouds. I didn't expect to get the photo I was after in the morning.
But as you can see, in the end it worked out. And I documented the whole experience in this little vlog.
