With the Zugspitze towering above, I wandered around the Eibsee, camera in hand—my Sony Alpha paired with a Sigma 18-50mm F2.8. A longer lens might have been useful, but I’m happy with how these shots turned out. I’ve touched up some colors here and there, but honestly, if you catch the right moment, the lake’s beauty speaks for itself. For a second, I almost expected an elf to step out from the trees—it really felt that magical.
