Franz Graf

Hey all!

I didn't want to wait ages to blog about last Saturday's hike. So I tried to keep it short. There are some more on the blog.

Well, I hope you enjoy those colors as much as we did enjoy the hike!

@hikingdude Those are so beautiful, Franz! Looks like a wonderful hike!

@TimKStanton Hey Tim. Thank you! Oh yes it was really cool. My wife didn't really like the fallen trees over the trail but luckily there weren't too many of them.

And oh man, I'm SOOO happy how the photos turned out! Given the light that day, I was *really* not convinced when we walked there.

@hikingdude Yeah, I know that fallen trees make it really tough to hike-- glad you both kept going.

ALL of these pics are "keepers"! So nice! I know what you mean about not knowing if the pics would turn out-- it seems that it is best to keep taking the pics and hope to get surprised when you edit them back home.

@TimKStanton
Yes exactly! It happens rather often to me that I'm not convinced on location when I'm just checking the little display on the camera.

I'm not sure if the professionals can already anticipate the result or if they also get surprised later as well

@hikingdude I’m guessing that professional photographers are much better at anticipating good results. But, they must still get surprised sometimes, especially since they take so many shots in such little time (sometimes rapid fire).

@hikingdude
These photos are breathtaking, Franz! You did a great job of capturing the essence of many different moods. I bet it was even more amazing to be there in person!

@va
Good morning Virginia!
Oh yes we really had a good time out there. And as you saw yourself, we saw so many different aspects of the mountains just in a couple of hours.

The only challenge was to see and recognise it.

@officehippy
I can promise, it was. And I'm also very grateful for my wife that I can take so many photos along the way

@andrewbriscoe
Thank you very much, Andrew. Very much appreciated 🙏

@hikingdude Wow, the look gorgeous! I love the colours in the third picture 😍

@Chrissy
Oh yes. I was so happy that we took a little break at that spot so that I had more time to look around.

Thank you very much for the feedback Chrissy 🙏

@hikingdude Extraordinary. These capture everything I love about hiking. I'm still drinking my morning coffee and wanted to grab my pack—an hour before sunrise.

@CA_Hawthorne
Hi Christina! Oh thank you so much. Then the photos have worked as desired 😉
I wish you a great day and weekend!

@3x10to8mps
