Photo Story: Lake Bled
Summary
The scenery is so breathtaking that the otherwise spectacular Bled Castle, perched on a cliff above the lake, almost feels like a forgotten sibling in comparison. In theory, it would take some time for it to rise above the peaks, but you can get great shots before sunrise, so it made sense to aim for an even earlier arrival. Waking up that early is never easy, but there’s a silver lining—parking near the viewpoints is expensive (as of 2024, 2-6 euros/hour, depending on the month), but if you arrive at 4 a.m., there’s a chance of snagging one of the last free spots at a nearby forest rest area. While waiting for the sunrise, I passed the time by capturing various close-ups, like the illuminated church on the island or the layers of mountains fading into the distance. I’m no expert in luminosity masking, so the editing process sometimes takes hours, but it allows me to merge areas with huge differences in brightness.
