- The amazing Seceda in the Dolomites of Northern Italy! This travel vlog takes you up the Col Raiser gondola to the Seceda summit at 2500 meters where I show you some epic landscape photography here in Northern Italy. See the hike from the Col Raiser gondola to the Fermeda Hutte where we stayed for two nights. Then follow us as we hike up to the top and take some bucket list landscape photos. This is a landscape photography vlog and Italy travel vlog and tutorial where I discuss camera settings, compositions and I show you my top three images from Seceda and as you to choose the one you like the best.

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!
Awesome analysis Chantal. Really good breakdown of the images!
I learned from the best ;)
photo number one best of all!
Really great video. 3rd photo most interesting composition.
I feel the second picture is quite literally the happy medium and creates a feeling of its grander
No 3 mind blowing
I like them all but Photo #1 gets my vote!
3rd is my favourite,.great work Tim.
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!
I like #2 best. What an experience!!!
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!
#2 for me! Great video!
Number 3 hands down. Great video, might consider going there some time.
Loved them all and was back and forth between 2 & 3 for a bit. I am voting for #3.
Number 3 for sure!
They are all amazing, but I liked #2 the best with #3 very close. What an amazing view! Thanks for sharing!
Stunning!
Thanks for sharing!
Photo 3 is the wining
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.
Great video Tim, the number 2 blown my mind
Absolutely #3 !! OMG, amazing work. Brilliant!
Wow Tim....#3
Loved them all but I think i like No 3 the best. Brilliant light and contrast.
#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.
Tim, what beautiful photos! I like all three, but if pressed, I like the first the best. I love the colors.
Thanks Phil! Much appreciated.
With out a doubt, photo No.3. Light and shadow make for a beautiful balance. Great photograph.
#3 for me! Thanks great video!
First photo for me. I just love the pink sky and the colors.
Thanks Farhan!
my favorite photo is three its just so comprehensive and stunning.
When comparing images as good as these, it's like, deciding who's your favorite child when you love them all. They are that good. I love all of the images equally. I just can't decide. If I had to decide which one of the images to choose from to put on my living room wall and I only had one space, I would be changing the images daily. That's how good they really are.
NUMBER 3 it is a dream!! thanks for sharing the experience!
Thanks so much Rita.
Great scenery! No. 3 for me
Thank you for video and those amazing photos! For me 3rd photo has most interesting composition.
Great video. Refugios in Italy are truly amazing. And finally, photo #2. That ticked all the boxes for me.
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!
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!
Mr shield, I like your photo #2
Terrific video, many thanks. My favourite is no 2, although I love all three!
Love too go there !! NICE! Photo nr 3
Welcome in Italy Tim, you right is the best place to stay the alps. Ciao ;)
The 3 th is absolutely stunning
What an incredible sight! Epic indeed Tim wow. Number 3 for me.
Thank you Adrian!
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!
Hi Tim,my favourite in No.2. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Very nice images.Great!!
Think I've just found another place for the bucket list. Love all three images, but 3 gets it by a whisker for me.
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.
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!
I like photo 1 the best, but they all rock! New bucket list location! Thanks Tim!
Awesome. Thank you so much Guy.
Love the video, good information! I get to cross this place off my bucket list this year as well. I vote for photo #2.
photo no.3 one of the best photo I ever seen, looks like Mac OS layout. Mac OS Dolomites! 10/10
Wow! Thank you so much!
wow! I went ahead and checked Fermeda Hutte. Definitely a must stay. Thanks for this video!
#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...
stunning - well done - photo 3 for me
I couldn't pick one! They're too beautiful!!!
👍☘️🇮🇪 very nice video
Great Pictures!
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!
I vote for photo # 3. The video is great; beautiful scenery and very professional.
Such a beautiful place, so awesome video,
The 2nd pic is so perfect 👌🏻👌🏻
And thank you for sharing such a beautiful video brother.
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.
all 3 photos are amazing I think :) Great job !!!
Photo Nr.: 3 Great shots 📷👍📷
Vote #1 but all photos caught my interest. amazing view
GREAT job, bro!
#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.
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.
Great video, No. 2 for me
amazing...going there in 10 days:)))
Photo 1 is magnificent
Awesome video. I vote for photo number 3.
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.
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 CZcams 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...
My favorite is #2. Thanks again Tim for great course! Sad that it is coming to the end :(
beautiful shots!!!...I prefer the third...
Thank you Guilio!
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!
Photo Number 2 for me. Smashing location.
Thanks Fergus!
I’m liking #2.
Awesome. 3rd photo vote.
All three are awesome, but I love photo #2 .
Thank you Michael!
Great video
Thanks!
I like all three, since I have several of my own from the same location.
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
All of them👍but maybe 2
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.
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 :-)
#2 wins it....no it's#3 ...or maybe #1....NO it is definitely one of those three which is the best. #2 but that is my favourite tonight.
#2.
I was there last July, enjoyed the view very much.
Your technique was incredible.
Hello Tim, my favourite picture is number one because I think is the most impressive of them. Regards.
Hi Tim. Hard to pick as they are really great shots. I choose all three
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.
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!
Number 01 !!
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.
Thank you Katariina. Really good analysis.
Photo #2...all are good but #2 wins
Number 3 like it the best.
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
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. 👍
I was torn between 2 and 3, I like certain parts in both, but in the end I opted for 3. I like the mountains on the right in 2 as it leads the eye further away, but the overall light, colour and composition in 3 won it over for me. All very beautiful in their own way. :)
Valle D'Aosta is very beautiful too.Greetings from Aosta
Photo 1: Peaks are larger & closer, and therefore command more attention.
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.
I was most taken with #1. I liked the up close present of the mountain. But, all are winners in the long run.
Number 3 is my favourite.....
Photo #3: I liked #2 but the main thing about #3 that I like is even though the Seceda peak is not as large an image in the photo, it is still quite impressive. By pushing back from focusing mainly on just the Seceda peak you get a better sense of just how massive and beautiful the whole region is ... which for me is important. The Dolomites are so unique and beautiful that I like that you capture Seceda but in a way that allows the viewer to realize where it is and how amazing this location is.
# 3 works best for me.
So hard to choose! For me it's photo one. Wish I was there to shoot such epic scenery!
