Hallstatt is a small town in the district of Gmunden, in the Austrian state of Upper Austria. Situated between the southwestern shore of Hallstätter See and the steep slopes of the Dachstein massif, the town lies in Salzkammergut region, on the national road linking Salzburg and Graz.

Hallstatt is known for its production of salt, dating back to prehistoric times, and gave its name to the Hallstatt culture, the archaeological culture linked to Proto-Celtic and early Celtic people of the Early Iron Age in Europe, c.800–450 BC.

Hallstatt is at the core of the "Hallstatt-Dachstein-Salzkammergut Cultural Landscape" declared as one of the World Heritage Sites in Austria by UNESCO in 1997.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Hallstatt, Austria. An amazing blend of mountains, lakes and animals. I love this place and I will definitely be back there.  

Time

This photo is special to me.I photographed her just before the sunset, after a walk by the lake I spotted these beautiful creatures and decided to photograph them.

Lighting

The light for this photo was perfect. Hallstatt is located in the Alps, and we all know that the sunset there are fantastic and the photography scene is perfect.  

Equipment

For this photo I use Canon 6D & Canon 24-70 F4L, and Sunwayfoto carbon tripod.

Inspiration

I love reflections, and that's what inspired me and I found a great shot and did what I wanted.

Editing

I didn't spend too much time processing. Everything was fantastic.

In my camera bag

I always carry a Canon 6D with me, my favorite 24-70 f4L lens & my fantastic Sunwayfoto tripod.

Feedback
