Additional vistas part I

Monday, 18 December 2017

Since the photographic possibilities here around my hometown are again rather unappealing at this time of the year, I took advantage of this fact and finally managed to go through all my untouched images and to clear my harddrive. So I will show several of these pictures here and will probably post them in a shorter interval. The captures will mainly show Austrian landscapes, plants and birds. Finally I will display three sets on each of these three topics. To avoid a lack of variety, I will mix them up. As is mostly the case, I'm doubtful again, which images to show and which images not to show. They say, as a good photographer it's not important to take only great images, but it's important not to show the poor ones. But beside the quality of the photograph itself, an image can also contain a rather poor capture of a great, special or memorable moment. And for me, it's not about just displaying my best works, it's also about displaying moments in nature. So, I'm aware (especially when it comes to the "left-overs"), that not all of the pictures from 2017 I'll show here as of now, are actually great photographs, but I cannot resist to show also some of the mediocre ones, because it's simply important to me. Hope you'll enjoy and agree ;)

Almost gone part III

Saturday, 9 December 2017

Welcome everyone to the third and last couple of Alpine Ibex images from this year. When it comes to finding a good composition and a proper framing for my images, I always pay most of my attention to my point of view. The point of view actually defines what can be seen in the picture and what can not be seen. And that's by far the most important thing in photography in my opinion. Since the ibexes live in a quite interesting habitat (which plays an important role for the creation of my images) and they are less shy than other Central Europe wildlife (which allows me to move around carefully), I'm particularly looking for good perspectives there, which leads to a lot of running around on the slopes always trying to foresee where the animals will appear and putting myself in right palce at the right time. And since the light is also crucial, of course, I'm basically shooting in the evening and in the morning hours. Of course, it's much more easy to photograph the animals in the evening, because I can observe them all day long and I know where they're located. In the darkness of the very early morning hours the main challenge is to spot them before the light comes up. But once I discovered them, I try to keep them in sight all the days, but of course I have to leave them every evening.
