Location

I took this photo in Merano, Italy, near the ski slopes. The snow was untouched and fresh, I could see animal tracks and only a few people wandered there.

Time

I took this photo after days of snowing. The previous night, our hotel was totally covered by snow, even the roads were closed. The next day, we went on a walk and found this house fully covered by snow.

Lighting

The sun was shining, there were no clouds on the sky. The snow was glowing and started to melt. Under the trees, the shadows created perfect conditions to take pictures.

Equipment

I used my Nikon D5600 to shot, no other equipment was used.

Inspiration

I like taking photos of nature and wildlife and my favorite season is winter. The snow was like a big pillow covering the mountains, the sky was bright, and the colors made the tiny part of the house pop out of the white snow.

Editing

I did not do any post-processing because the colors are vivid in this picture. I also think that too much post-processing could lead to an artificial picture.

In my camera bag

I never leave the house without my Nikon D5600. I have my two lenses, 18-55 mm VR AF-P, 70-300 mm VR AF-P.

Feedback

Weather can easily change in the mountains, so be prepared for the snow. The best time to take picture of snowy places, is the morning. In the middle of the day, the melting snow can be dangerous and slippery, take care of yourself. Also, you need to protect your equipment from the snowing. And put some sunscreen on your face :)
