In 2016 I traveled to Austria for the first time and I absolutely felt in love with the country. Its nature certainly surprised me, I found beautiful landscapes everywhere! Being there and experiencing so many wonderful moments is what motivated me to grab a camera in the first place. I just felt really lucky to be there, so I thought that having some nice photos from this trip would be completely worth it!
I began to wake up early in order to contemplate sunrises. Oh man! So many times I felt extremely happy just being above the clouds, watching the first sun rays illuminate the mountains…
Nowadays I really enjoy taking photographs. I find the workflow to be very interesting. I have to travel to the right spot at the right time, move around in order to find the best composition, then take a deep breath and shoot, edit the photos and be creative, and so on… In addition, I get to share my experiences with the rest of the world! I really appreciate all the feedback because I can learn from it. Overall, I believe that landscape photography offers a really nice experience because you are also outdoors enjoying nature.
