- Well, I had to do it. I just couldn't skip a video guide about THE most popular spot of the Dolomites: the Braies lake (or Pragser Wildsee, in german).
Turquoise waters, raw boats floating around the lake and beautiful larch forests all around it are just a part of what makes this place so beautiful and so popular amongst photographers, influencers and tourists from all over the world.
Rest assured that you'll hardly ever be alone around here - as the crowds are overwhelming most of the times, even during the weirdest hours such as sunrise or sunset.
I'll be plain honest with you all: I'm not a big fan of Braies. The place has been shot to death from every angle, and crowds more often than not take away any kind of nature connection that you might want to build while visiting the location. In autumn things are a bit better, with way less people around the place already becomes much more enjoyable - but summer is a tough time to visit in my opinion.
We are not here to discuss my personal feelings about Braies though: we are here to talk photography! And well, photography wise, no need to say that this lake is one of those picture-perfect postcard locations where everything feels like it's been placed there with the specific purpose of been captured by photographers!
Let's dive into the video and see a bunch of the compositions that you can achieve there, at what time I recommend you to be around and how to reach the spot. Let me know your thoughts guys!

Beautiful work, Leonardo! Thank you for providing views of all of the various Dolomites locations AND at different times of the day and the year. WOW!
Another fabulous video!
Thanks man!
Im so happy this video poped in my feed!! Great content and thank you so much for this video!
Is it possible to fly a drone there?
Thanks a ton Idan!
Flying a drone there is possible if you comply with all the European regulations (license, insurance, QR code on the drone, etc). This is valid for drones >250g (like Mavic Air, Mavic Pro, etc). For smaller drones (like the Mini 3 Pro and pretty much all the DJI Mini line up) you can fly without the license I think!
For more info I highly recommend to check the maps on D-Flight (d-flight.it), the official portal for Italy where you can see all the places where you are allowed to fly (max. altitude, area, etc) and all the needed infos.
PS: if you are unlucky - from time to time there's a grumpy lady from the hotel nearby that will come yell at you, telling you that you can't fly there. It's the ENAC (the italian authority for flights) that rules where and where not you can fly, not her. Just wanted to give you an heads up! :')
@@leonardopapera thanks so much!!! I guess I have to come as early as possible :) thanks again for this great content!
Great video for photography lovers.
Can you tell me the focal lengh that you used in the photos you showed?
Thanks for the tips and keep the good work
Thank you! The classic views with the mountains are mostly taken with a wide angle, from 14mm to 24mm. Some of the close-ups instead are taken at 120mm!
Leo, when you say autumn ... would 10-15 Oct be a good time?
You are a tiny bit on the early side of autumn, technically I'd recommend more around the 20th.. But you should already see some yellowish hues on the trees!!
