I had been watching the weather forecast and Lake Jasna on the webcam most of the week only see clear blue skies. But finally on Friday the weather began to change.
This image far exceeded my expectations. I had been watching the sunset over Bled the evening before on the Bled webcam and saw how the sun was going down close to the Julian Alps from this perspective. So I headed out the next day.
Sometimes a moment takes you by complete surprise. This evening was no exception. I was on a hike up to Smlednik Castle with my family. From this viewpoint you get a fabulous panoramic view of the Kamnik and Julian Alps. However, looking at the conditions I hadn’t expected much to happen. Even so, I have learned never to leave my camera in the car. A lesson learned the hard way in the past. Well, thank god I had learned that lesson….
Happy New Year Rather than post my favourite photos of 2022 like everyone else, I thought I would show you my favourite new location discovered
On this lovely autumn morning, the anticipated golden hour light didn’t materialise.
However, it is often worth waiting for the light a little longer than you think.
I went to Jamnik yesterday for sunrise because the clear outside app showed there would be fog. Sadly, there was no fog. However, local knowledge meant I could adapt and find something like this.
Here you can see a different view of Lake Bled’s hilltop castle and Mount Begunjščica, one of the peaks of the Karavanke Mountains. Slovenia. See where I took it from.
Peričnik Waterfall is one of Slovenia’s most beautiful waterfalls. Here I explain how to easily get there and how to vary your shutter speed to get different effects on the flowing water.
Clear blue skies are a landscape photographer’s nightmare. It’s hard to know what to photograph on a sunny day with just blue skies. But when you get them, you just have to work with it. More often than not, if you are patient and look hard enough, there is always something you can make out of it all.
