There’s something special about the way light plays across the Tatra Mountains in winter. I love how a lower peak catches the sun, standing out against the deep shadows of the forest, while the High Tatras tower above it all. It just looks epic, in my opinion. To keep ourselves warm, we walked up and […]
While capturing the breathtaking winter scenery of Gubałówka for my previous blog, I was entirely immersed in framing the majestic Tatra Mountains against the perfect light. Daria, already feeling the cold, decided to head back ahead of me. Just as she reached the cable car, she sent me a message: “There’s a nice church nearby.” […]
I caught the moment just as the sun was peeking behind the mountains while we were walking up to the top of Gubałówka covered in snow that winter. The trail, flanked by dense trees on both sides, made me anxious to find an opening. And as soon I saw the sun was starting to set, glowing […]
I took the cable car to Gubałówka, earlier in the day, anticipating the perfect view and light for my “Zakopane in Winter” shot. I was scouting locations, and during that time, I captured this, similar photo of the Zakopane panorama. As I stood staring out over the town, I said to myself, “Okay, this is […]

From there, we had a stunning view down the stream, framed by the mountain in the background, with sunlight piercing through the trees. […]
Following our walk through the stunning Giewont panorama, we continued into Strążyska Valley in Zakopane, where I shot further pictures of this incredible Dolina Strążyska in Zakopane. Most of the time, it was hard to see the sun because of the thick forest, but when it did, the view was breathtaking. Initially, we encountered a […]
The air was crisp, and the morning sun cast a golden glow over the Tatra Mountains as we set off on our hike. Our journey began near the slope of the mountains, with a touch of adventure as we navigated a flooded section of the trail. The water shimmered in the sunlight, creating an almost […]
The moment I captured magic of Zakopane in winter, was one of the highlights of my trip. It wasn’t just about taking a picture; it was about bringing an idea to life. This image was the one I had envisioned the most. It represents careful planning, patience, and perfect timing. The scene was exactly as […]
Zakopane, a popular tourist destination in Poland, a hidden gem, is renowned for its stunning mountain scenery and unique highlander culture. One of the best ways to experience the beauty of Zakopane is to take a trip up Gubałówka hill, which offers a panoramic view of the town and the Tatra Mountains. As we made […]
