Photography Tips
Sunrise and sunset give the best light for this view. A telephoto lens works well to bring the castle and mountains closer together. A tripod is useful for steady shots in low light, and calm days are great for reflections on the lake. If you want to capture the entire scene, take several overlapping shots and stitch them together into a panorama.
