EUROPE LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY
A few of my favourite European landscape images from my time spent in parts of the continent I have travelled
One of the first overseas locations I visited for landscape photography was the incredible Dolomites in Italy. This was my introduction to Europe landscapes and what a way to open up the doors to such an incredible continent.
The Dolomites, located in Northeastern Italy, are a breathtaking mountain range known for their rugged peaks and jagged spires. The best time to visit for photography is in the early morning or late afternoon when the light is soft and the shadows are long, accentuating the dramatic scenery.
In just 2 weeks I was able to visit such majestic Italian landscape locations such as the Alpe Di Siusi, Lago Di Karersee, Lago Di Brais, Cima Cadin, Tre Cime Di Lavaredo, plus many more. Hiking the trails in the Dolomites was such an amazing experience as the tracks are well looked after and sign posted. I would have to the say that the Dolomites region is made for landscape photography and it was my favourite place to visit.
On that same trip I also visited Lake Bled which is located in Slovenia, a stunning alpine lake surrounded by picturesque mountains and forests. Lake Bled is most famous for its small island in the middle of the lake, which is home to a church.
When I returned to Europe in 2022 I had my sights set on Mont St Michel in Normandy France, Paris, and the Matterhorn in Switzerland.
Mont St Michel is a medieval island commune located in Normandy, France. The island is surrounded by tidal flats and is famous for its stunning tidal island views and its iconic 11th-century abbey, which sits atop a rocky outcropping. It was an absolute dream to visit and I was able to the landscape photo I had been wishing for.
After wanting to see the Eiffel Tower since I was a kid I was finally able to tick that one off the bucketlist. Paris photography is amazing and there are many locations to photograph the Eiffel Tower from including Trocadéro, Rue De L'Universite, Champ de Mars, Montparnasse Tower.
Switzerland was also a Europe landscape photography bucketlist location for me. It is home to some of the most picturesque landscapes in Europe, with its rolling hills, snow-capped mountains, and crystal-clear lakes. The Matterhorn is one of the most stunning mountains I have ever seen and I was so glad to see it from Grindelwald, Zermatt, and Interlaken.
