I take extreme care in preparing each print personally, using the best imaging technology available to the best of my abilities, that I improve year after year, with the sole purpose of producing work that will delight you, the owner. My materials and techniques are gold-standard in their class and my prints are an elegant accompaniment to any home, office, or boardroom.

So you can imagine how glorious this place must be!
The castle was there - probably in the most beautiful place in the whole country - built by Ludwig II, King of Bavaria, in 1886 as his refuge from the political complications of those days and materialisation of his personal fairy-tale. The castle was built around the thematic of a swan expressed through numerous sculptures and pictures in its interior.
Ludwig II spent his childhood in the Hohenschwangau castle, built by his father Maximilian II of Bavaria, that now neighbours Neuschwanstein adding to the beauty of the scenery. Hohenschwangau was decorated with scenes from medieval legends and poetry. There still as a child the king identified himself with Lohengrin from the legend of the Swan Night which obviously took deep roots in his spirit and fantasy and finally realizes itself through the castle.
To this very legend of the Swan Night Richard Wagner once dedicated a romantic opera. In his turn, Ludwig II, Wagner’s great admirer, dedicated the composer the whole Neuschwanstein castle installing a stage ready for opera performances of the renowned musician.
There is no other way to enter the castle rather than joining a tour: as the day passes along with final calls of the visitors bus, tourist start to disappear. You can live the sunset up there almost alone. Almost cause there's always a couple of landscape photographers passionately clicking with their cameras to capture the glory of the hills embraced with the last beams of a sleepy sun.
The bridge taking visitors to the castle is a very common spot to take a snapshot: I needed to differentiate my image from the thousands taken in this very shot. I chose a wide angle view framed on the left by trees and on the right by the hills to give the feeling of looking at a painting. The valley in the back gives depth by adding a third plane. The shot was hand-held, but having good light I could still choose the optimal aperture of the lens (around f/7.1) that gave me a very workable 1/160s shutter speed to ensure a sharp image. The fairy tale quality I had in mind at the moment I saw the scene was enhanced in post-processing by carefully choosing the hue of green of the trees that form the base of the image.
