Salzburg is twenty-five minutes across and the fortress lands in half your frames. What decides a session here is the calendar: festival stages in summer, market huts in winter, and an empty parterre at seven.

Hallstatt's famous frame is about four metres wide and has a queue from ten until four. Here is where to stand, when to arrive, what the new funicular changed and how winter rewrites the whole day.

Vienna's best frames are free and empty before nine, and unusable by eleven. Here is where to stand at Schönbrunn, the Belvedere, the Ring and the vineyards, hour by hour and U-Bahn by U-Bahn.

Four locations, four directions of light: Maria Wörth from the water, Velden at sunrise, the Pörtschach peninsula and the Pyramidenkogel. How to plan a Wörthersee shoot around the hour.

Kitzbühel packs a painted medieval street, two famous mountains and a mirroring moor lake into a very small radius. Where to stand, when the light works, and the one January week to avoid.

The Gosausee holds the whole Dachstein upside down — but only until the valley wind gets up. Where to stand at the north end, when the light arrives, and what the circuit and the upper valley add.
