Landscape Photography in the Italian Dolomites Part I

[@AttilioRuffo]

I really loved making this video, I hope you enjoyed it too! Did you like the music?

[@eatwelllivewell4941]

Loved it!

[@santoshmahalik]

Enjoyed it

[@_Mola]

The music adds alot to the atmosphere. Great Choice! PS: Love the song around 8 min. Does anyone know the title?

[@AttilioRuffo]

@@_Mola Thanks, th song is Sparkle by Sparkle...

[@michaelmclean4791]

Really enjoyed it and music was great. Glad you were able to get back to your roots.

[@francescad4054]

Thanks Attilio for yet another inspiring video. Nowadays it looks like it’s all about planning ahead, being at the right time in the right place, knowing what exactly you’re gonna have in the frame. But nature doesn’t work that way, skies can be boring, the mountains can be unpredictable and whoever knows the Dolomites will have first hand experience of this. So what are the options? Packing up and leaving? No, it’s what you’re doing. Turning unfavorable conditions to your advantage, improvising, being truly creative! Nature is always amazing and always worth it. Even if it’s not sunrise or 5 towers. We are surrounded by beauty and you have eyes to see it.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Grazie Francesca! My intention with these videos is exactly about you described, I want these videos to come across as spontaneous as possible. Thanks for your support! 😊

[@lucaceoloni1574]

There is nothing like Dolomites. Amazing!

[@AttilioRuffo]

Beautiful places indeed! 🇮🇹

[@molopez619]

L Ceol this and Patagonia are so damn beautiful!

[@lucaceoloni1574]

@@molopez619 yes but I live near by and of course I'm proud of my Land ;) patagonia is a dream destination also

[@chrisbullett1513]

You have to understand and appreciate how much time Attilio pours into making these videos. I think they are so well put together and he is high underappreciated!

[@AttilioRuffo]

I love your support Chris! Thank you

[@simonlee5659]

Yes, I could sense your love to Italy, and I love this country too, there's so much to see and so much to learn and this affection will never end.

[@AttilioRuffo]

👍

[@iczemi]

I was moved by the ending. Very beautiful.

[@AttilioRuffo]

I guess real feelings come across through KZbin! :-)

[@willemdebruijn3185]

In this video you can see where your heart is. Amazing landscapes, the love for your home country is so obvious. That love is reflected by your pictures. Great job!

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thank you William! 🙏

[@larrybell5144]

What a mastery of creativity and sensitivity to nature you have!

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thanks Larry!

[@claudiamuller9404]

This video caught a lot of memories. I stayed for all the holidays in dolomites it`s my favourite place for hiking. 2016 I worked for 1/2 half-year nearby Meran. Thank you to see this again.

[@AttilioRuffo]

It did the same for me! :-) Ciao Claudia!

Atlio I am very happy for you, I can feel the way you talk showing that you are proud from where you are,. One of my grandma was from Roman and the family of my wife were from Piemonte and I will be there soon.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thank you Carlos!

[@pellizzer95]

Da italiano ho sempre apprezzato i tuoi tuoi video ma questo nelle Dolomiti ha una marcia in piu! Grandissimo Attilio

[@AttilioRuffo]

Grazie mille caro Alessandro!

[@jean-paulescalera2571]

Once again Attilio, a wonderful video. What a beautiful place! I sensed a little nostalgia in your voice at the end - as if you were home once again! More like this please! Grazie!

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thanks Jean-Paul, and yes indeed there was some Nostalgia at the end.. which I see it as a good thing!

[@grahamhunneman3503]

Hi Attilio, or should I say "Ciao Attilio", I admire your love of photography and how you go about making your vlogs, but this one was extra special, you could tell immediately from the first second of this episode it was going to be amazing. Great work 👌

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thank you Graham, I really appreciate it! It felt the same way for me!

Rick Higgins Photography I definitely agree. Very well produced.

[@anujasharma9677]

I really loved watching the serene beauty of Dolomites through the video. Attilio you have every reason to feel proud of your motherland and the beauty it has, especially the Dolomites. I loved every bit of this clip and as always the images you took here were not only outstanding but magical too. Thanks for making such a beautiful video and hope you can make some more again.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thank you very much my friend!

[@prashantpawar9200]

Beautiful place

[@davidbodine6465]

The music is also great.

[@pablonickodemus8785]

Hey Attilio. Beautiful video from a beautiful part of the world. I hiked across the entire Dolomites on the Alta Via 2 from Bressanone ( in Sud Tirol ) to Croce d'Aune. It was one of the best treks I ever did . It also was one of the toughest as we were doing in late June and because of the high heat in the afternoons we were getting terrible lightening storms every afternoon and being up high on a Torre it was quite hair raising to quote a pun. Still one of the most amazing spots as are the many Via Ferrata we completed along the way as well. Its a very unique part of the world. Love your work and am jealous as hell wish I could be back there again too.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thank you! Glad to hear you got to enjoy these beautiful places!

[@wrobbo64]

Wow Attilio wonderful photos and drone work I would love to go there one day, I loved that you took time at the end to reflect and think about your trip with your family makes it extra special for you and us adds that personal touch

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thank you Wayne, I am glad you appreciated the end!

[@K.JD66]

Fotografare la bellezza della natura oggi é importante, ma lo é ancora di più se la si apprezza prendendosi un po’ di tempo per ammirarla. Bel video Attilio.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Grazie mille Carlo!

[@RoccoCalcagni]

Beautiful video Attilio, Dolomites are in my heart

[@AttilioRuffo]

Grazie Rocco!

I can't believe how quickly this Vlog went by. I'm completely taken by the scenery.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Great to hear!

[@armandoguerreiro8861]

I have been in Italy twice and I am looking to return again may be next year or so, for me Italy is one of the must beautiful countries in Europe ! thanks for the great work you doing , i do enjoy watching your videos ! I am Portuguese living in Melbourne,Australia. Congratulations !!!!!

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thank you 🙏

[@raesalmon]

Excellent video Atillio. Dolomites has been on my wish list for a while now. Such imposing mountains.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thank you Ray!

[@wernerkausw]

Grazie mille! I am only one week away from visiting the dolomites. I am glad to get some inspirations like the pano with the chapel. Never seen this perspective before. Thanks again! Best regards from germany Werner

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thank you Werner, have fun!

[@nancyliu3686]

I had a smile on the whole time while watching. The film makes me want to go there.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thank you Nancy! We’ll go...

[@jamied7643]

Italy is just fantastic for photography I’m in Sardinia at the moment touring there mountains. A great video you are a very talented artist.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thank you Jamie! I love Sardinia, enjoy!

[@simply.matias]

Hi Attilio, two times in last year I was in the Dolomites watching your videos. It's nice to see the video of the most beautiful mountain peaks and valleys at home :) The music suits perfectly to the scene and some modern touch is great as well!

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thank you 🙏

[@son278son5]

Attilio ..... as nice as the sun feels it's not your friend in Italy I see especially in the summer. Good luck waiting on the clouds. I grew up going to Greece which has very similar weather and I can count on my fingers the number of a cloudy or overcast days in over 30 summers. Great video as always. Wish I was there.

[@AttilioRuffo]

I know it always takes patience... :-)

[@stevepayne5404]

Hi Attilio and thanks for another great video. This video brought out the real situations that we run into while trying to get the shot. Weather or sun and clouds not cooperating for the composition that you are looking for. Your patience is astounding and I think that the shot you showed was amazing. I think we can all learn from your videos because your bringing all real life situations into them. Your last comment about the memories with your father and family and the fact that yourself “maybe I should spend more time here” also brings up a real life moment. I am always telling friends and family that it doesn’t matter where you live...... home will always be home. I can’t wait to see more of your beautiful country and homeland in videos and your landscape photos. I have said it before and will say it again. You are the inspiration for my photography goals Ciao

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thank you very much Steve! I am really glad to read your comment, as really this is all these videos are about : real life landscape photography! I appreciate your support 🙏

[@ronzufelt1428]

[@suprasannachoudhury6230]

fantastic video and lovely music, I have learned a lot by watching your videos, especially about long exposure photography. lovely narrative and easy to follow steps. Great work. greeting from India.

[@Ruscombephotos]

This a beautiful video. I have never been to the Dolomites, but would like to put that right before long. When I go back to England, having lived in New York for 20 years, I get the same sense of nostalgia and that I am reconnecting with my routes. Unfortunately, I don’t get much time to do that on short trips to the UK and you have made me realize I need to find more time to do that.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thank you 🙏

[@giacomonovara]

The pano with 3 cime di Lavaredo is outstanding, the long exposure show with the lake nice but we got used to something better with you. I live in Vicenza, about 3 hours far from those Mountains. Dolomites are the absolute top.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thank you Giacomo! Si avevo bisogno di più acqua o più nuvole per le mie lunghissime lunghe esposizioni... ;-)

[@giacomonovara]

Attilio Ruffo correct - aside, i can easily understand you miss Italy but Bay Area is one of the most beautiful place in the world

[@geotaco]

Hi Attilio, wonderful video. What a beautiful place. Loved the music too. Thanks for your videos.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thanks a lot David!

[@pattymattes7124]

That's great you are spending time in Italy. Sounds like a very special place to you. Thank you for taking us along. It's a gorgeous place. Your images are amazing as always. I'm looking forward to Part 2.

Grazie Joseph! Ci sto pensando...

[@lowellprice6351]

Excellent video, Attilio. I have wanted to go to the Dolomites for decades. I am a geologist (and a landscape photographer), in which the Dolomites would add an additional perspective for me. Keep up the excellent work, no matter where you go to capture beautiful landscapes.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thank you! I hope you will make it to the Dolomites soon...

Grande Attilio! You did one of the most beautiful video!

Thanks a lot Jack!

[@klausschleicher523]

Very nice video! The Dolomites are great for photographers ;-) Thankfully I have only a 3 hour drive to be there ;-) If you are still there, you should try Lago di Sorapis. And you where very lucky to have such a nice amount of water in Lago Limides, last year it was nearly empty. Have a great time in the Dolomites!

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thanks Klaus! I didn’t make it to Lago di Sorapis, but I will definitely go next time...

[@kineticbe]

Attilio, the red could have something to do with desert-sand in the sky that comes over Europe sometimes from the Sahara. Little more than a month ago, we had something similar in Belgium, where the sky turned deep red for a few hours when high winds were up with Sahara-sand in it.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Gotcha! 👍

[@marcoparodiphotography]

ciao Attilio ! Ottimo video come al solito e poi in Italia ancora meglio ! Sei un grande!

[@AttilioRuffo]

Grazie mille Marco!

[@esspie9744]

Hi Attilio, well, what a co-incidence!! Just a few days ago I was at the same location on the 21.07. May be you were also scouting the place during that time. Still to process the photos, got some clouds, but did not had much of a time in hand, unfortunately. The dolomites are definitely an area to explore. Love to experience during winter. :-)

[@AttilioRuffo]

I was there a few weeks before... :-)

[@KenToney]

Awesome, that’s on my bucket list now!

[@AttilioRuffo]

Thanks Ken!

[@christianbrackman4935]

Dear Attilio, this is a great video.! I'm sure everyone understands the nostalgia you feel in the Dolomites. There are places in the world that are special for everyone! Thank you for sharing this with us! Christian Brackman from Brussels.
