A brief passage through the Misty Mountains, or at least that’s how the Dolomites felt that afternoon.
The peaks kept appearing and disappearing through the cloud, never staying visible long enough to make the photograph easy. That’s exactly why I loved it.
I am far more excited by scenes that make me work for them. Following an unfamiliar trail, watching the weather shift, waiting for a mountain to emerge for a few seconds, then disappear again. There is something deeply addictive about not knowing whether the photograph will happen at all.
It feels a little like wildlife photography for landscapes. You observe, anticipate, react, and accept that nature owes you absolutely nothing. The only real difference is that you do not have to spend six hours locked inside a wooden hide, which feels like a fairly generous arrangement.
This autumn, participants joining the Dolomites Immersive Workshop will experience this landscape in a way I’ve never been able to include before.
A small piece of news landed on my desk last week, and it’s something both Sabrina and I, along with the photographers already signed up, are genuinely excited about.
We recently managed to add something rather special to the itinerary, giving us the chance to spend a night in one of the most remarkable corners of the Dolomites and photograph it from sunset through sunrise.
There are now only 2 places remaining for the 2026 Dolomites Immersive Workshop, Sept 13-20.
If this sounds like your kind of adventure, you’ll find the details in the link in my bio.
