Spring disco part I
Tuesday, 2 May 2017
I'm pleased to finally share my first few fresh images of this year here. As mostly I started the new season with photographing the first wildflowers which appear as soon as the temperatures start to rise a bit. After a couple of cold and rather grey months it's always pretty delightful to see the first dots of colors pop up from the forest floors. Because I don't own a macro lens I usually shoot flowers with my telephoto lens, but this year I borrowed a macro lens and I really enjoyed using it. So, I created most of the images you'll find here with this lens.
The queen of orchids part I
Monday, 6 February 2017
Also in 2016 I tried to catch the Lady’s Slipper Orchid in bloom. As with all rare wildflowers this is mostly rather difficult, because one has to be there on time and the areas where flowers like that can be found are often quite remote. But during the last season I was lucky to find some new locations close to the valley I already knew but much easier to reach. So that I could save some longer hikes. And furthermore I discovered a completely new habitat in Upper Austria. Beside to shorter hiking distances both new places can offer better photographic opportunities, because the light is more exciting than in the known valley in Lower Austria where the sun only comes up around noon.
Eastern birds part II
Tuesday, 21 June 2016
So here we go with the second series of bird images taken in the areas of the Neusiedlersee-Seewinkel National Park in eastern Austria in April. No sophisticated hide photography or something like that, just a few more impressions of what I experienced while I was strolling around in the park. Hope you’ll enjoy.
Alpine ibexes part I
Sunday, 14 June 2015
This year at the end of May I went up into the mountain areas of the High Tauern National Park in Carinthia to spend some time with the alpine ibexes for my second time. The first time I did this was back in August 2014 and this was actually one of my most exciting and delightful photography trips I ever made. So I was really looking forward to my experiences this year. I decided to split my ibex entries into four parts and to completely mix up all the images. Hope you all agree with that ;)
Still in love part II
Wednesday, 12 July 2017
Today I would like to share some of my promised bird pictures I was able to take during my last visits at Upper Austria's gorgeous Lake Almsee. As mostly I also tried to capture a bit of the beautiful surroundings and the particular moods when I created the images. And, as already mentioned, especially in this area the whole setting is quite lovely.
Final mix part I - Patagonia part XV
Tuesday, 30 May 2017
Slowly but surely my Patagonia blog entries will come to an end. I would only like to show two more posts here. Both of them will be filled with various pictures which actually didn't make it into any of the former series. Most of them are not that spectacular and maybe more documentary style, but all of them are part of my enriching and unforgettable memories I was able to collect in these two month in one of the world's probably most beautiful places.
Homelandscapes part I
Friday, 7 April 2017
Ok, I have to admit, that most of the Austrian landscapes probably cannot keep up with the Patagonian ones, but nevertheless I would like do display some not yet shown impressions I took in (Upper) Austria last year. Hope you’re not too spoiled already and still corious what you can find here ;)
Autumn beat part II
Wednesday, 2 March 2016
I just realized, that I still owe you the second part of my autumn impressions mix. So here it is. All these images where taken in Upper Austria close to my home. No spectacular trips and adventures, just some attempts to capture the moods an beauty of the colorful grey season ;)
Mixed landscapes part I – Norway part V
Wednesday, 10 February 2016
Although our trip to Norway was already five months ago, I still have some impressions of this wonderful country, I would like to post here. We’ve been there in August and September last year and we deeply enjoyed the countless opportunities for easy and moderate hikes. There’s just so much open land that lays infront of you and waits to be explored. And due to the fact, that there are actually no thunderstorms, which could be dangerous in the higher areas, we could do hikes in every weather without any risk. You can only get wet. Or snowbound ;) So we had the chance to wander around in the highlands during all these fast changing conditions the Norwegian weather has to offer. And of course, very changeable conditions are always exciting and a great opportunity for photographers. I think I’ve never seen as many rainbows as during this journey.
Spring disco part III
Saturday, 3 June 2017
Here's my long overdue third set of early spring flower images. I'm sorry for the delay, but the longer and greener the days become and the more images I make, the less time I'm working behind my monitor ... ;) So I hope you're all still in the mood for some Snowdrops, Hepaticas and such.
Fire 'n' ice – Patagonia part VII
Tuesday, 21 March 2017
Today I would like to post a handful of impressions only taken at two different locations and in very short time. Pictures made in one evening at the famous Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina’s Los Glaciares National Park and some images I took about 1,600 km away during one particular morning at the coast of Punta Pardelas on Valdés Peninsula. The pictures only show some closer frames of the icy giant and the magic that happens, when strong winds, the sea and the morning sun meet. And since their appearance is either very cold or very warm, I decided to bring them together.
