During a family stay in the Black Forest, I really wanted to pursue my passion of landscape photography a little and photograph some beautiful waterfalls. What do you ideally need for this? Right, cloudy skies, ideally even some fog or light rain. What did we have during our stay? Of course. Not a single cloud in the sky for days.
So what do you do? Exactly, just do what you are there for. Namely, waterfall photography. I sneaked out of the house early in the morning and used the geographical conditions to my advantage. Right after sunrise, the Krai Woog Gumpen is still in the shade of the forest for some time in summer. This time was still my chance to get atmospheric shots.
The plan worked. Some great pictures came out of it. I even had some time to record everything in a VLOG. However, I made a few beginner’s mistakes, but sometimes there’s just something wrong. But you can see more in the video below.
By the way, you can reach the Krai-Woog-Gumpen quite easily by car, just enter it in Google Maps. Parking is at the side of the road. There is also a small parking area for 2–3 cars. It’s less than 200 m from the car to the waterfall, so you can reach it in no time. You can reach the basin below via roots and rocks, from where you can get a good view of the waterfall.
This and all other shots of this post you can request under “Prints” as an art print for your wall at home directly from me.
Bad luck and mishaps during my stay in the Black Forest: blue skies for days, how can you do landscape photography? And then I made a beginner’s mistake… Nevertheless, the result is a hopefully interesting and entertaining nature photography VLOG of flowing water and some great pictures of a beautiful waterfall. Have fun watching!
