Night Photography on the Alps

 

This is the Cadin della Neve, Cadini di Misurina (Dolomites), the place where I've mounted my tent in the only "flat" available spot between stones.

The patches of snow and ice have provided me all the water needed for drinking and cooking :-)

 

Finding the right strategic place - and spending the night right there - is the most effective way that allows me to seek for particular pictures during the most deserving hours of the day.

Usually it's necessary to wait hours to get the right light conditions, or, at least, have the opportunity to frame a very special moment that allows to respectfully document the place and, at the same time, does not fall within the classic cliché of the "vacation photo".

In fact, starting from the evening, also this couloir proved to be quite a lovely photogenic subject, especially because its top is pointing exactly to the south, so at night you can see the Milky Way straight wedged inside the canyon! A real show and a severe environment that doesn't happen to see every day.
