For the best lighting, morning flights are ideal as the sun is behind the aircraft. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture the dramatic Bastei bridge area and the Elbe river valley. If flying in winter, the Austrian Alps will be heavily snow-capped, providing incredible contrast against the valley floors.
