- This is how I got one of the best photos I have ever taken in my life - in Alpe di Siusi, the green area of the Dolomites. An absolute paradise for landscape photography. I decided to go a bit more in detail in this video, to give you an idea about how I experienced this landscape photography adventure, which effort it took and how I overcame all my doubts and struggles.

All the shots were brilliant Christian but that last shot was EPIC! The way the light punched through the cloud and burst onto the landscape was just heavenly. Truly amazing to watch this video. Well done my friend, great work 👍🙏
Hi Adrian, thank you so much! I'm more than happy about the conditions I got on both days :)
You can't imagine the goose bumps I got when the sun burst through, finally.
Thanks a lot and enjoy your rest Sunday,
Christian
My favorite photo is at 25:25, amazing composition and condition...i really like your post-production mood
Thank you so much, Rambo. I'm also in love with this one :)
Nice greetings,
Christian
love this one! so much effort to record these footages and organize a first time photo shooting project on both location. amazing idea with two cameras for different compositions so big props to Barbara for help. crop body and cheap lens did super job, love that shot. but you nailed the last one with amazing lights and lovely tones 🙌🙌🙌 keep up the great work Chris!
Hi Denis, thank you so much, my friend. I highly appreciate! A big thanks to Barvara, helping me out with a kind of "remote hands" :)
Enjoy your Sunday and nice greetings,
Christian
I always get stunned how can you take such beautiful shots at such a perfect time?!
Hi Elisabeth, thank you for your kind comment! It is all about planning the weather and light in front and ultimately, out on location, being patient and having a bit of luck :)
Nice greetings,
Christian
The qualities you have as a photographer are incredible!
A big thanks, Elenor! I really appreciate :)
Nice greetings,
Christian
Die Seiser Alm und der Langkofel - ein absoluter Klassiker in den Dolomiten und immer wieder schön anzusehen 👌🏼🤩. Deine Fotos sind spektakulär, Christian, insbesondere das letzte mit dem genialen Lichteinfall! Großen Respekt an deine Frau, die da so gut mitmacht 👏🏻😃. Hab ein entspanntes Wochenende!
Hi Chris, vielen lieben Dank und gerne leite ich dein Lob an meine Frau weiter. Ja, Sie hat das wirklich ausgezeichnet gemacht. Da ist man dann schon auch stolz :)
Vielen Dank und noch einen schönen Reststonntag,
Christian
Wonderful, Christian. I recognize the dilemmas you face when you’re in such a beautiful place that begs for a perfect image and nothing less. You succeeded in doing that.
Hi Erik, thank you so much for your kind words, my friend, I really appreciate :)
Yes, it was breaking my heart to see the beautiful scenery, but struggling with a working composition, in the beginning. I'm really more than happy that it worked, in the end :)
Thanks a lot and nice greetings,
Christian
Du trägst doch ein Haufen am Rücken!!! Und zwei Stativ noch dazu! Die Gegend ist wirklich wunderbar. Du bist ein glücklicher Mann dass deine Frau freiwillig als Fotohilferin mitspielt. Wie Adrian schrieb das letzte Foto war "epic". Deine Fotos waren wie immer wunderbar!
Hallo Erich, da kommt tatsächlich einiges an Gewicht zusammen, aber glücklicherweise war die Wanderung dort nicht besonders steil, sodass das ganz gut geklappt hat. Dafür dass mich meine Frau mit "Remote-Hands" untersützt hat bin ich tatsächlich sehr dankbar :)
Vielen lieben Dank und hab einen schönen Sonntag,
Christian
Wow, those shots were truely amazing!!! At first I thought: Oh no, not the Seiseralm! as it´s one of the most well known places in the dolomites and I´m absolutely not a fan of seeing the same shot over and over again. I have to admit, that i was kinda disappointed that you choose the "classic spot" for your sunrise shot, because I prefere unique compositions, that I haven´t seen a hundret times before (which is very very difficult, if not impossible at the Seiseralm). But anyways, you nailed it with that amazing light conditions and made the photos absolutely unique! Personally I prefere the crop-panorama by far. I really like the outcomes and I totally enjoyed whatching as always!
Hi Arthur, quite funny: I had absolutely the same thoughts like you, when I was planning my shooting :)
I was also happy with the shot I got on first day with the thunder cloud, but for the morning the classic spot worked better, because of the better game between light and shadow. And there is no problem at all, to shoot a classic shot, from time to time. There are always possibilities to do it in your personal way ;)
I also like the crop pano very much, but it's difficult for me to find a favourite, to be honest :)
Thanks a lot for watching, my friend! Nice greetings,
Christian
The shots at 25 and 31 minutes are epic. We're staying up on the alm from Friday to Tuesday, unfortunately we can't expect clouds like this, but I'm hoping for some morning mists...
Thank you, Mike 😊 I had a look at the global weather, right now. I see a ~20% chance for midlevel clouds on Friday morning and a ~30% chance for lowlevel clouds on Saturday morning (the latter is a dangerous prediction, as it is too far in the future. It would need to be checked again by tomorrow). Actually, there should be clouds exactly above the spot on both days, but it is spot weather, which means it could happen that the field of clouds appear a bit earlier/later or appear 50km away from where you want to have them. I cross my fingers for you 😉 But the location is also amazing without clouds, of course.
Nice greetings,
Christian
@@christian.irmler yeah, we were there for langlauf in February and I got some images that I was very happy with already. Really excited about going back in autumn and being able to stay in a hut up on the Alm
Für mich einer der besten Spots den es gibt. Ich war 2020 dort und wurde wie Du mit einem unglaublichen Sonnenaufgang belohnt. Nächstes Wochenende bin ich wieder dort. Tolles Video und die Bildern, speziell das letzte einfach beeindruckend. 😍😍😍😍😍
Hallo Michael, vielen lieben Dank - und oh ja, die Location ist der absolute Hammer :)
Ich wünsch dir viel Spaß bei deiner Seiser Alm Tour und vor allem top Wetter- und Lichtverhältnisse!
Schöne Grüße,
Christian
The videography in this has been incredible
Thanks a mill, Aubrey :)
Wow specially that last shot was world class! Absolutely stunning! I would like a personal assistant that operates my 2nd camera realy funny how you planned that! I admire how you speak to the camera while all those people are walking by on the trail. I always freeze when there are people around 😬 what is the name of this place? Grt guido
Hi Guido, thank you so much, my friend :)
Yes, I was also so happy that my wife gave that kind of "remote hands photography" a try. I think she would do it again, but just if it is not early in the morning :)
Vlogging beside others is hard, but it comes with the time. Sometimes I still struggle, to be honest :) I think, it depends on how focussed I am to my photography and my vlogging. When I'm focussed, it works. I hope this helps.
Enjoy your Sunday,
Christian
One of the best videos I have ever watched!
Thank you so much, Patricia. This means a lot :)
Nice greetings,
Christian
Beautiful light! Not sure I could ever drag myself out of bed so early in the morning; or trek as far as you do, for a photograph. Ian :-)
Hi Ian, oh yes, getting up in the early morning is one of the most difficult things :) But I'm sure you would be able to get up for a shot there. The hike was not all too far in this case. Maybe you could try it with a photography friend. Then it gets always easier to get up, as there are less excuses ;)
Thanks a lot for watching and nice greetings,
Christian
Makes upload my friend, shots are breathtaking! Literally breathtaking! 🔥🔥
Thank you so much, Ervin :)
Nice greetings,
Christian
Keep uploading these we love them. So peaceful
Hi Nishan, thank you so much for your kind comment, I really appreciate :)
There will come another adventure video tomorrow (Saturday), which I really like.
I hope to see you tomorrow ;)
Nice greetings,
Christian
@@christian.irmler looking forward to see you soon 👍
Wow. Stunning photos
Thank you so much, Ross! It is really so enjoyable to photograph in the Dolomites 🙂
Nice greetings,
Christian
I can imagine how much effort you took into this video
Thanks a lot, Mia. I appreciate :)
Nice greetings,
Christian
Awesome Nature landscape is nice place
Thanks a lot, Sharat :)
Christian, at 23:00 you were talking about cropping to a panorama format, and I wondered if you might be sble to "pull in" that right hand hut, by using a bit longer focal length and doing a 2-shot panorama?
Ok, back to video. : -)
Hi Lohi, you mean my original thought hut for the foreground? This would be too far away, I changed my camera position here by a few hundret meters. Of course, we could make a real pano, which would change the perspective slightly, so we could get more huts in, but the composition would not work for me, as the mountain would appear even smaller than it appeared already.
But you know, there is no right or wrong. Just different possibilities :)
Thanks a lot for watching my friend and nice greetings,
Christian
Thanks for your reply, and your thoughts on this...BTW, at one point in the video, before sunrise, there is just a glimpse of the mountains, and, to me, it looked like a beautiful possibility... Before the golden hour ;-)
Beautiful shot!
Thank you so much, Dave :)
Ich kann mich anderen Kommentatoren nur anschließen, das letzte Bild ist episch.
Hallo Klaus, vielen lieben Dank, freut mich echt sehr, dass dir das Foto gefallen hat :)
Hab noch einen schönen Restsonntag,
Christian
So ein interessantes Video mit viel Ausdauer, und dann die tollen Fotos! Traumhaft die friedliche, beleuchtete Landschaft und die mächtigen Berge dahinter!!!! 👏👏
Vielen Dank :)
Not many would survive what you suggested at 4:00...
Hi Karl, I also usually try to avoid frontlight, but when you get the composition to work and consider that you'll get less contrasts, this could lead to a fantastic image.
Thanks a lot for watching and nice greetings,
Christian
@@christian.irmler I wasn‘t talking about the light, I was talking about your wife’s task of operating the second camera…
Tell me, where did you come from to this view?
Hi Andrey, I photographed straight at Alpe di Siusi. I parked at Compatsch and hiked towards that many cabines in the very east.
I hope this helps 😉
Nice greetings,
Christian
@@christian.irmler Thank you very much for your answer!🙏
@@christian.irmler Hi! I am hoping to visit same place at sunrise. Which carpark did you go? I have heard they have a parking ban from 11pm-6am and not sure if that's a concern if i park between 4am-8am. Thank you!
@@lovisseyou Hi, @lovisseyou, there is only one car park up there, but it is prohibited to stay there overnight. Look down in Kastelruth, there are good options to stay overnight and it is not far to drive in the early morning. And be careful, even the road is closed on some daytimes. I hope that helps ;)
Nice greetings,
Christian
Does your wife think you’re crazy or is she onboard with your adventures?
Hi Dave, that's a good question, haha :) No, I think she likes to be out in nature, together with me. And she had also fun with this kind of "remote hands". Not sure if we will ever try that again. But why not, actually? We will see :)
Thanks a lot for watching and nice greetings,
Christian
You need a bit more faith in your wife she done a great job .
Hi Nancy, oh yes, Barbara did definitely a great job 👍 We will see, maybe we will try something like that again, in future 😊
Thanks a lot for watching and nice greetings,
Christian
