Light matters!
Of course, you might say! But sometimes, even after many years of photographing, I’m still surprised about the difference light and weather can make. Last couple of days were exceptionally dry and windy here at the Lake of Constance. Usually we have a high humidity in the summer which limits the visibility and creates less favorable light for landscape photography. Only when we have the Foen wind, a warm wind crossing the Alps from the South, we get dry air and good visibility.
I’ve taken this shot of Montfort castle in Langenargen quite a few times in recent years, but I never had such a clear view. I took many images that day, but these two are my favourite ones.
