Exploring night shooting spot
Posted on Januar 5th, 2014
It’s allready two years ago as we had the idea of shooting some starscapes in the alps. It should go nearly three weeks until we had some images with stars from this location at Tschappina, but step by step.
The temperature on this image was below -20°C and I forgott my wind jacket at home. I used 4 layers of sweater, luckily there was no wind. I shoot this image right after the sun was down but to late to see the moon rising over the mountains.
Because it was so damn cold, we drove back to the valley, eating something and getting a jacket for the foolish photographer. We want to come back, when it’s dark enough to get this exciting sceenery at night. Well, as you can see the weather was the best you can get, at this moment, but after we came back, the fog was cover all what you can see. We walked two hours up to the peak, but the fog was getting thicker and thicker. So we had to go back, teeth grinding, without any nightshots, only with cold hands.
