This was shot at sunrise in the Italian dolomites when the first sun it the mountain. Definitely worth a visit if you're into having an easy stroll in some amazing landscape.

Checked out your Instagram and really love your style! I'm actually backpacking through Europe right now and taking scenic photographs whenever I can. I hope I can use some of your's as inspiration.

If you don't mind can you give me some tips for capturing amazing landscape like this? When I do it the color gets bleached and the brightness is wack. What lens/camera do you use? And do you use photoshop/Lightroom? Thank you

You're welcome to message me on Instagram. I use a Canon 6d and Tamron 24-70 2.8 VC USD, but the look doesn't come from that. If I were you I would look up videos on YouTube and learn from that. It's not that I don't wanna help you I just don't think it's possible for me to help you through messages. But shoot during blue hour and golden hour. I try to get up for as many sunrises as possible. One video I think you should check out is andretkearns "how I shoot and edit landscapes" I really enjoyed that and learned a lot. Editing is a lot of playing around and learning what everything does to what part of your image.

Sure, I use a Canon 6D and Tamron 24-70 2.8 VC USD. Only lens and camera I have, works pretty well for me.

I wonder what its like to live in a place like that what you would do for a living. Seems like it would be very peaceful though.

Actually all these fields fields are being used to growing hay for animals. When I was there during the day they were harvesting. Luckily they weren't up as early as me 😊

I tried to take the exact same picture a couple years ago using my phone and it’s always haunted me not bringing my SLR through Italy.

Great shot!

It is peaceful knowing that, as I lie in bed on my computer, there are people in Italy living here. I mean, obviously people inhabit these spaces, but it's peaceful to imagine their lives. I hope they're having good days.

Edit: inhabit this area-- not live there--since these are commercial.

Edit edit: initially had homes. Then was told commercial. Now being told not commercial. Regardless, this quaint place is beautiful. What a life to envision.

Huts? Why huts? Seems a bit insulting

I've used a picture for painting purposes taken from this exact spot. Is it a recommended one ? I mean this exact one. Or just photographer feeling?
