Seceda Dolomites epic hiking and photography in Italy

[@kurtcoppe5474]

Really great video. 3rd photo most interesting composition.

[@farhangani2534]

First photo for me. I just love the pink sky and the colors.

[@TimShieldsPhotography]

Thanks Farhan!

[@mshiker]

Thank you for taking us landscape photographers/hikers to this stunning place. My dream to go there one day.

[@Ctvital-no2jw]

No 3 mind blowing

[@Elmoshuk]

No. 3 is stunning!

[@adrianalfordphotography]

What an incredible sight! Epic indeed Tim wow. Number 3 for me.

[@TimShieldsPhotography]

Thank you Adrian!

[@chantalgermain832]

I like the 3rd picture better; it is well symmetrically balanced by the background mountains, rule of third is well applied with good but not too much foreground, the sky is taking the first horizontal place of the rule and the background mountains are clearly on each side of the grid. Tim, your main subject, hero of this amazing picture, stands proudly wearing green and orange palette...greeting the beautiful sunrise. I really love the entire video, showing the reality and beauty of your journey. Well done!

[@TimShieldsPhotography]

Awesome analysis Chantal. Really good breakdown of the images!

[@chantalgermain832]

I learned from the best ;)

[@jocelynhidalgo140]

Stunning! Thanks for sharing! Photo 3 is the wining

[@gerdmai1265]

#2 for me! Great video!

[@rudigolden39]

3rd is my favourite,.great work Tim.

[@johnbroman3660]

#3 for me! Thanks great video!

[@sibdiving]

photo number one best of all!

[@colindavidson2857]

Great scenery! No. 3 for me

[@jillsestak9962]

They are all amazing, but I liked #2 the best with #3 very close. What an amazing view! Thanks for sharing!

[@dewey5185]

Number 3 hands down. Great video, might consider going there some time.

[@theresashoemaker8353]

Loved them all and was back and forth between 2 & 3 for a bit. I am voting for #3.

[@5moereradventures]

I like #2 best. What an experience!!!

[@4vedas]

I like them all but Photo #1 gets my vote!

[@gavinlowcock9372]

Loved them all but I think i like No 3 the best. Brilliant light and contrast.

[@jleonmills3522]

With out a doubt, photo No.3. Light and shadow make for a beautiful balance. Great photograph.

[@avron1231]

I vote for photo # 3. The video is great; beautiful scenery and very professional.

[@shannonp7911]

Wonderful video and the photos are all superb! My favorite is the third...the composition makes the scene look so epic! Great work all around!

[@TimShieldsPhotography]

Thanks Shannon. Photo three has the most foreground, but the trade off is that the peaks look further away. But foreground tells the story better. Good comment!

[@ritagomez6945]

NUMBER 3 it is a dream!! thanks for sharing the experience!

[@TimShieldsPhotography]

Thanks so much Rita.

[@bobabout256]

No2 it has more sense or place for my eye but more dominant scale then No 3. They are all fantastic. Thanks for the inspirational videos.

[@guylstephenson]

I like photo 1 the best, but they all rock! New bucket list location! Thanks Tim!

[@TimShieldsPhotography]

Awesome. Thank you so much Guy.

[@paolocappelletto7196]

Beautiful video. Wonderful photos 1, 2 and 3. At 4:44 behind your head there is Sella Group, on the right (left shoulder) the Sassolungo and Sassopiatto, on the left Odle Group.

[@lennartbrorssonlens-artpho731]

Love too go there !! NICE! Photo nr 3

[@ulbert123]

wow! I went ahead and checked Fermeda Hutte. Definitely a must stay. Thanks for this video!

[@PCcardboard1354]

my favorite photo is three its just so comprehensive and stunning.

[@maxmillion4216]

Wow Tim....#3

[@interlaken]

GREAT job, bro!

[@Makabona]

Thank you for video and those amazing photos! For me 3rd photo has most interesting composition.

[@robbate4443]

stunning - well done - photo 3 for me

[@WhatYouDRONE]

I feel the second picture is quite literally the happy medium and creates a feeling of its grander

[@giuliob8738]

beautiful shots!!!...I prefer the third...

[@TimShieldsPhotography]

Thank you Guilio!

[@frankschenkewitz1902]

Very nice images.Great!!

[@alessmatana1083]

all 3 photos are amazing I think :) Great job !!!

[@annvarley9204]

Absolutely #3 !! OMG, amazing work. Brilliant!

[@markvermeulen6397]

Thank you Tim for those amazing photos! Number 1 caught my eye immediately and while I love the others, keeping going back to that. I really am taken by the colors in the sky and how that plays off the entire frame. Also, the lines leading up the slope on the left along with the contrasting green slopes on the right just beautiful!

[@ThomasKaercher]

Number 3 for sure!

[@ecycled3d]

Great video. Refugios in Italy are truly amazing. And finally, photo #2. That ticked all the boxes for me.

[@philconstans1898]

Tim, what beautiful photos! I like all three, but if pressed, I like the first the best. I love the colors.

[@TimShieldsPhotography]

Thanks Phil! Much appreciated.

[@garrymee589]

Great video, No. 2 for me

[@mattiasarousell4606]

Vote #1 but all photos caught my interest. amazing view

[@craigkauzmann6872]

Awesome video. I vote for photo number 3.

[@michaeltucker5505]

All three are awesome, but I love photo #2 .

[@TimShieldsPhotography]

Thank you Michael!

[@johannhornigold]

I love all 3 photographs and think they are all stunning. I will however agree with most people definitely #3. The orange glow in the clouds and the wall of the mountain really make this photograph. I love it.

[@phildevitt767]

Hi Tim,my favourite in No.2. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[@EddyKinol]

Great video Tim, the number 2 blown my mind

[@georgeseremetis5576]

Tim, You keep outdoing yourself and at this rate you’re going to have to head to the moon. All of the images are absolutely outstanding, but pressed I’m going with number 3. Truly fantastic work!

[@ferguscooper]

Photo Number 2 for me. Smashing location.

[@TimShieldsPhotography]

Thanks Fergus!

[@donnamcculloch1795]

Wow Amazing!!!! All 3 shots are stunning, but I like the 3rd shot the best. Thanks for taking us on this epic trip with you.

[@TimShieldsPhotography]

Thank you Donna! The third shot had the most foreground which was a little better for the storytelling, but the trade off is that the peaks are smaller in the frame. It's great to hear from you!

[@rosiechilton]

Terrific video, many thanks. My favourite is no 2, although I love all three!

[@khmloveg]

Photo 1 is magnificent

[@ThomasKaercher]

Great Pictures!

[@51guisf]

Astonishing!!! What a fantastic place! All 3 photos are incredible, but I vote for Nr. 3, as it gives me a better perspective of the location as a whole.Thanks for sharing these magic moments!

[@movermexaus]

Photo Nr.: 3 Great shots 📷👍📷

[@renoditullio6560]

What a gorgeous location, Tim! Probably #3 for me, although #2 is a beauty too. Two nit's though, the white cloud on left edge is an eye catcher, and both #2 & #3 seem a little tight on on the top of the frame; I would like a little more room for the very top of the mountain. Most excellent, though.

[@TimShieldsPhotography]

Hi Reno, you are very right in saying the peaks need a bit more headroom. I had to crop the images at 16x9 to get them to fit the KZbin aspect ratio. The original camera crop has the room in the sky that is needed. Good point with identifying the cropping. It is certainly not an ideal crop...

[@Gidis96]

amazing...going there in 10 days:)))

[@hknlux]

Great video

[@TimShieldsPhotography]

Thanks!

[@souleymanesidibe3125]

Nice

[@kouvang5660]

Mr shield, I like your photo #2

[@blondegirlphotographer1116]

#3. I also like how the green enhances the spectacular light and as you said has foreground, middle, and background . One could really spend time in front of this print. Congratulations on a fantastic adventure and photo. Great video.

[@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism]

Awesome. 3rd photo vote.

[@Missbagpipernorthwest]

I couldn't pick one! They're too beautiful!!!

[@ivan7453]

Hi Tim. Hard to pick as they are really great shots. I choose all three

[@beatriceching7274]

I’m liking #2.

[@Philobr]

Think I've just found another place for the bucket list. Love all three images, but 3 gets it by a whisker for me.

[@rodgerraubach2753]

I like all three, since I have several of my own from the same location.

[@portiatse1152]

#2. I was there last July, enjoyed the view very much. Your technique was incredible.

[@spicy__roads3422]

Welcome in Italy Tim, you right is the best place to stay the alps. Ciao ;) The 3 th is absolutely stunning

[@westenbergerstephan5955]

1st of all many thanks for sharing all the details where you stayed and which Gondel you took. I am planing to go there too so your info was really helpfull. So, coming to the pictures. I agree with you, the last picture is the winner. However, I have one remark which catched my eye instantly. Check the white cloud to the left, which is lit by the sun. I think this white spot is quite prominent and in post processing you should have adjusted the cloud so that it matches with the clouds in the background as it distracts from the main subsejct which is magnificant!!! Again, this is moaning on very high level.... :-) I am sure you will never forget this awesome spot and the whole area of South Tirol.

[@Mcroberg]

Love the video, good information! I get to cross this place off my bucket list this year as well. I vote for photo #2.

[@davidbuurma9309]

#1 for sure... but wow... we spent 2 weeks in Italy... want to go back and see this... not what I think of when I think of Italy... absolutely stunning...thanks Tim...

[@ikiguy8897]

photo no.3 one of the best photo I ever seen, looks like Mac OS layout. Mac OS Dolomites! 10/10

[@TimShieldsPhotography]

Wow! Thank you so much!

[@johnotooledoggames2336]

👍☘️🇮🇪 very nice video

[@katiimes]

Incredible photos, the location is on my bucket list as well. I loved the first and third photos especially. I liked the color tones of the first better, but the expanse of the landscape, the majesty of the mountains comes through better in the third. It’s a tough call, but I’m gonna say third photo.

[@TimShieldsPhotography]

Thank you Katariina. Really good analysis.

[@marianneritavanvliet4554]

This is so great trip. I been there 2 times. Not for photography but for walk in nature and hiking. It was planned to be there now in 12 june 2020 . Shoot photos... very sad it is now not possibel. Perhaps next year I hope so.

[@TimShieldsPhotography]

We want to go back too. Best place ever! I emailed the owners of Rifugio Hutte to check in on them and they are doing great. So good to hear!

[@paolorossi9180]

Valle D'Aosta is very beautiful too.Greetings from Aosta

[@shanekrajic7167]

I’m torn between 1 & 2 but number 2 really pops with the grass in my opinion. All amazing pictures thanks for sharing and now I have to work out how I’ll get there one day! Your videos are really informative thanks.

[@franciscocarneiro8763]

Number 01 !!

[@FelixSteinreiber]

super video, ive been there too and my video is coming this week, its so nice how you explain your shots and this insane area

[@CristianBarleanu]

Great location and I just added it on my Bucket list! For me, photo no.1 makes the cut as it keeps the eye on the peaks, while still having the mountain hut on the right to give dimension. Great stuff!

[@schoeferfilm]

Hi Tim, great video 👏 this is one of my wish list too 👍🏻 maybe sometime i will made it with my drone and cam 💪🏼 best cinematic greetings from germany

[@punithpoonacha1265]

Such a beautiful place, so awesome video, The 2nd pic is so perfect 👌🏻👌🏻 And thank you for sharing such a beautiful video brother.

[@Marijana-b5k]

All of them👍but maybe 2

[@seabreezeof]

Great video , great shots, hard call as to the favorite, they all were good, just a matter of what flavor you like, the magenta or the warm cast . Looking forward to Santa Magdalena.. What backpacks you guys using, maybe a video about that as well.

[@TimShieldsPhotography]

Good idea on the backpack video. I just bought a new photo backpack for this trip and I shot some footage in preparation for a backpack video. Photos backpacks are super important. I will get on it....

[@BlackIrish54]

What an incredible place to experience first hand Tim and Leah! I too had to remind my self it was Italy, and not Austria as I half expected the Von Trapp Family to come singing along one of the rises! You are such a talented photographer, and the three photos are each impressive. I really like all three, but am going with the third one for all its glory! I'm sure after all the hiking and good food, those authentic European Feather Beds, offered a great nights sleep to rejuvenate your weary selves for the next days hike!

[@ScoTreVan]

Absolutely stunning location Tim, and I don't say that lightly as I live in Scotland which can compare, definitely one for my bucket list. Pic1 if one has to choose, great colour and composure, thanks really enjoyed this video guys

[@alfredolopezcalbacho2752]

Hello Tim, my favourite picture is number one because I think is the most impressive of them. Regards.

[@silvijatreice7541]

My favorite is #2. Thanks again Tim for great course! Sad that it is coming to the end :(

[@alanheaslip8691]

Number 3 like it the best.

[@paulff3]

Judy voted #1, I'm torn between #1 & #2. Fabulous vid. We are going in August.

[@aasolvi]

Woooow!!! Wish you could managed to get up there! Incredible shots. I loved all three and I thing it´s hard to pick one, but maybe no 1. Also want to say that your video is so good :-)

[@JohnScaneArt]

I was there 2 years ago and did this same hike, it was hard! - But worth it. Stayed at Fermeda Hutte also and everything you said was exactly how we felt, such great hosts, rooms, food and everything else! I like #2 best but they are all nice. On a side note, I’m still working on my video from my trip but plan on releasing it in a couple weeks, maybe you’ll like seeing it. I’m going to check out your other videos now, glad I stumbled across this. 👍

[@dalewatkins9889]

Thanks for sharing! I personally liked the 2nd image, mainly giving a little more colour to the cliff's in the scene. I'm one that tends to like a little more saturation to the colours than some, and this one I found gave more colour to the image, or it seemed that way, plus giving more of the foreground and hint of the sun/mountain on the right. It's doubtful I'll ever get to this region, or others you have gotten to, so it's truly nice to see it through others that have gone Tim. I personally want to see more of North America, and my next main trip will to explore 'waterfalls' in Washington/Oregon, then explore eastern Canada and the southern U.S.

[@TimShieldsPhotography]

Hi Dale, thanks for writing! The waterfalls of Oregon are amazing and it is a location I need to go back to in order to make new video content. Thanks for your vote for image # 2!

[@debschense7541]

#2 Because the grass side is a bit lighter and there are people in the picture. (Person with blue jacket). For me it adds interest. Plus the buildings.

[@byphotoAS]

Thank you for sharing your experiences. #1 is nice majestic, huge mountain on the center splits the photo but, this one sky color magnificent and romantic. #2 is my favorite, it shows everything The mountain, human, houses, road, clouds all of this combinations makes very rich photo. That is the photo when you look at over and over you can find something new. This is the BEST. #3 Color too bronze, the reflection on cloud on the upper left one taking my eye attention every time and it is not matching with anything in that photo. Hoses and roads in to so distance and with green all in dark, I can't feel them. on the bottom lend part too much for me! and it is not green enough I think disturbing the color setting ot the photo. Again many thanks for doing it and showing it.

[@chandanbhar-sf3ht]

Really enjoyed your video!! In which month was it shot ?

[@VictorZubakin]

What a great location! For me its gotta be number 1. The reason being this is the shot that focuses on the mountain - shows it off much more than the other two. Less is more.

[@janweymans7863]

I do agree
