Lago di Braies Boatshed
Photograph 32 of 40 for my short time-lapse film “Man and the Mountain - A Dolomiti Tale” due for release February 23rd 2019.
From photos that you’ve seen you’ll know that Lago di Braies is stunning. This huge amphitheatre of reflecting rock on the far side of the lake dwarfs everything else. However potentially humbling it may be though, the shoreline, boat jetty and car parks are absolute chaos. I spent almost week here in total trying to take it all in. This beautiful lake in my opinion being ruined.
I was witness to several arguments between groups of photographers hustling for space, groups that even brought their own ladder to climb onto the locked boat jetty and groups commandeering boats before the hiring booth was open.
What I laughed at most though, and I swear on my life that this is a true story, was that a group of happy snapping warriors took (stole) a boat and were happily shooting away, not caring that they were ruining everyone else’s time when they had a discussion about whether they should leave the life ring inside because it wasn’t photogenic enough. After more and more reports of people dying for “the shot” I was honestly lost for words.
