Our sunrise shoot is only 25 minutes driving from our hotel. We
will shoot a typical Dolomiti mountain with a big field of tree trunks in the foreground. Depending on the season there are also some fields of flowers in the area. For sunset we will visit the mighty Lago Limides. This lake requires a short hike from the parking lot. Along the way there are already good shooting options with our tele zoom lens! The lake itself has plenty of different compositional options. We will be shooting and exploring for a good time here. After this shooting we will also shoot from another location near the car park. There are many fields of flowers and the sun will set just behind the mountain. 

On this day we will start with Alpe Di Siusi for our morning shoot. This
location has been shot many times by many photographers – but after
laying your eyes on the view for the first time you will understand why.
I'm happy to be able to show you different unique compositions – as
well as the classical composition with the barns on the foreground. For sunset we will take the cable car up to Seceda. We can not stay here
till sunset, but can still shoot it till early evening. This is because
of the cable car times. Once we are down we continue to the St. Johann
Church. for our sunset shoot. We have 2 different locations to shoot
this amazing place.

On the fourth day we will visit the beautiful Passo Gardena again. This place offers so many different compositions and spots, it can easily be visited two times. Also, the light will hit just as much of the mountains as during sunset - but just from the other side. After the sunrise it is time for breakfast, checkout, and moving to our next hotel. For sunset we will shoot the world famous Tre Cime Di Lavaredo - or in German, Drei Zinnen. We park the van at the high parking and start a one hour hike to our spot. The hiking trail is very wide and mostly flat - only the last section include a bit of ascending. We will shoot it from the side view - there are many flowers here and it will also line up with the milky way. We will most likely stay here a bit to shoot it during blue hour and possibly during the beginning of the night.

On the morning of the fifth day we will shoot from one of my favorite
spots: Passo Giau! There are different compositions possible. There is a lake nearby and there are also flowers not far underneath the mountain. This shot requires a focus stack of 3 photos or more. This location doesn’t require any hiking, though there is plenty to explore
around.There are also tele-zoom options from this location - also with a person in the frame.  For sunset it is time to shoot a big vertical mountain wall with a tower on top of it. Sounds strange? Well you have to see it for yourself to believe it. We need our widest lenses, that is how high the mountain is. We will aim for some cloudy conditions - which is not uncommon here!

We will shoot the spectacular Rolle Pass (Passo Rolle) for sunrise.
There is a big field of flowers nearby and there are also some nice
compositions possible from a bit higher. Lastly there is the more
classical option, which is the river valley underneath.
For sunset we are going to make ourselves ready for one of the most
fairy tale-like valleys of the Dolomites. A fairy-tale valley surrounded by majestic mountains in this case. We have to hike for a good hour to reach this valley, but we will take plenty of time to reach it. Once in the valley we have shooting possibilities everywhere. From a forest view frame, a river, flowers and also the milky way. We will stay here till after sunset.

On the morning of the 7th day we will go to a valley not many landscape photographers have been shooting from before - yet it offers an incredible view on a beautiful mountain range, with a river underneath to use as foreground. After our sunrise shoot it is time to head back to the hotel and have breakfast. The tour is now over - the memory cards are FILLED with many amazing photos and it is time to drop everyone off at the airport at no later than 1pm.

On day 8 we are going to make ourselves ready for one of the most fairly tale like valleys of the Dolomites. A fairy Tale like valley surrounded by majestic mountains in this case. We have to hike for a good hour to reach this valley, but we will take plenty of time to reach it. Once in the valley we have shooting possibilities everywhere. From a forest view frame, a river, flowers and also the milky way. We will stay here till after sunset. We will offer the group the option to go down after sunset and skip the milky way/ night shooting. We will split the group with the assistant guide going down, and me staying in the valley.

We will wake up early and arrange 2 different departure times with each van, to ensure everyone will be on-time at Venice Airport to make their flight back home.
