Hallstatt
The lovely, picturesque village of Hallstatt, Austria - such a beauty!
One of the most beautiful little villages I have ever visited, Hallstatt sits aside this gorgeous lake and is surrounded by towering mountains. It’s a photographic dream come true for me to stand there and take some shots. I’ve wanted to visit for years and finally was able to do so when we were in Germany last year. Hallstatt is in Austria, sort of south of Salzburg - roughly an hour+ drive away. It was well worth it though and I’m quite happy how this long exposure turned out as well!

The stunning beauty of Hallstatt, Austria…
Such a quaint and yet very beautiful little town, Hallstatt Austria really impresses! Despite it's relatively small size, it packs quite a punch visually. We spent most of a day there, and of course I shot it from every angle I could find. I even got snowed on during my evening shoot, but who cares? When you are somewhere like this, you just love the views so much that almost nothing can stop you from standing out there and shooting!
Hallstatt is just beautiful

I'm not sure what more I can say about Hallstatt, Austria...
I had wanted to visit Hallstatt for years and when I was in Salzburg, Austria last year I finally had the chance. We rented a car for the day and took off. It was about 2 hours of driving if I recall correctly, but so worth it! I finally got to stand here and fire some shots! In fact, I stood here a few times throughout the day, taking shots and then wandering back into town, only to return later for more shots. What can I say? That's what I do.

Two photos from Hallstatt, Austria today...such an inspiring little town, and so beautiful!
As i wrote in this previous post, Hallstatt Austria is a gorgeous little town. Though I was only there for 8 hours or so, I took a TON of photos. It was a bucket-list sort of place for me, which means I was in full-scale military mode, firing shots and moving, firing again and moving again, etc. I did slow down for a few breaks though. You always have to refuel!
This first shot is of the town from a dock at one end. After parking the car, we wandered up to town and literally just ran into this view. The second shot is from the same spot, just facing out towards the lake. It's a monstrous lake, actually, and being surrounded by these amazing mountains just makes it even more beautiful!

Oh, this town! So awesome!
I have wanted to visit Hallstatt, Austria for many years. I had seen countless photos of it online, and knew that I just had to get there. When we were in Germany back in April, we made a 4 day stop in Salzburg, Austria before heading on to Prague. This was my chance!
Everyone agreed we should visit, so we rented a car and spent the day there. It was amazing. It actually started snowing on me while I was shooting that evening! For a guy from Texas, that is a novelty. I loved it.
This is the classic view of the town from an elevated road, and it's a wonderful spot from which to view the town. I was here a couple of times that day, but this evening session was the most fun. Interestingly, I had it entirely to myself except for a few minutes when another guy showed up and took a few shots. Yep, all mine. So awesome!
