Being lucky enough to be spending a few years living in Munich, I am fortunate to be able to head out after work for walks with friends for sunset in the alps. After a few weeks of bad weather we headed out for a short walk above Tegernsee to the Riederstein chapel, for a picnic and sunset. The...

While staying in a hut at over 3000m a few weeks ago, I was sitting in the dining room with my partner discussing the plans for the next day as a we were treated to a flypast from a beaded vulture through the panoramic windows. After it had gone I grabbed my camera and long lens and ran outside...

I don't find myself particularly fond of the result of the dehaze slider, I know lots of people really like it. I sometimes use it, carefully, for photos of people in the mountains.

The first and last are great. Could the last do with a bit more contrast, specifically on the mountain? The colour palate in the first is wonderful

That’s already been printed. Just waiting to get back to Germany to see it :) edit: although probably not the one you are talking about, maybe I’ll get that done as well. Lots of walls to fill!

Thank you all. The kind comments are really appreciated. I had selected other images for the wall, but based on this feedback this will soon be on the wall in our flat in Munich

Back at the end of October I managed a 4 day landscape photography trip with one of my friends. I now live in Munich so it was great the explore some of the local area. Towards the end of the trip we spent two days in Berchtesgaden, little did we know that while we were there the Covid rates...

I have revisited it and think I prefer it after a slight tweak now I have a computer again and editing is a bit easier than on the iPad. Well thankfully you don’t have to gain 1000m for this, it’s a much shorter walk in than that! That image will probably be appearing here some point in the...

ps. look forward to seeing your images from when you visit. I am looking forward to getting to know the area much better over the next few years living in Munich

thanks. It's interesting how different people have different takes on landscapes, I love the light on the mountain, but then find the rest of the scene is a bit dark and flat compared to the pre sunrise photos. There is a 4x4 track most of the way up, it goes to a small hut. Then there is a...

Thank you Thank you. Yes it is the town below Königssee Thanks. I am very lucky to have the opportunity to live there for a few years. It is certainly a stunning area. Yea Neuschwanstein is certainly on the list! Thanks I will try that, thanks for the advice

It was on a small summit called the Grunstein just west of Berchtesgaden. For more details there is a map on my blog https://www.masterplan-mountaineering.co.uk/2020/10/bavaria-landscape-photography-berchtesgaden/

really great image and well processed, just a slight shame about the plant at the bottom of the frame (if I am being picky)

Thank you, was lucky with the cool and clear conditions It really is a fantastic area, I am primarily a mountaineer so it really is a big playground. I will take a look at that location, sounds interesting, thanks. Thank you, it really was quite accidental, it was all around the first shot...
