aerial, drone, topdown, river, abstract, glacier, iceland, 2022With this article I present my personal three favorite photos from the past year 2022. In the last months I had a lot of fun diving more into the abstract kind of photography. I was fortunate to travel to Iceland and revisit some beloved locations but I also found some new ones and new perspectives. On another trip I drove about 7000 kilometers through scandinavia and again visited swedish lappland and the arctic island of Senja in Northern Norway. During the fall season I was primarily shooting the fabulous forest of the Harz region and the Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland in Germany. I also ... Continue reading →

sunset, meadow, mountains, bavaria, lake, alpenglow, summer, germany, 2021With this article I present my personal three favorite photos from the past year 2021. Due to the 2nd year of the pandemic I was - again - primarily shooting in Germany and the Alps, of course I visited the fabulous Harz region and the Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland several times. I also - again - wrote more than twenty new tutorials, guides and product reviews for my german landscape photography blog. Following are my personal top three photos of 2021: A famous and breathtaking view over rugged mountains and forests in Saxon Switzerland during a vivid sunset in spring, ... Continue reading →

sunrise, forest, lake, mountains, reflection, fog, alps, germany, 2020With this article I present my personal three favorite photos from 2020. Due to the pandemic I was shooting primarily in Germany from the Alps in the south to the Baltic Sea in the north and some places like the fabulous Harz, Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland and the wild blooming featherlands near Lüneburg in between. I also wrote more than twenty new tutorials, guides and product reviews for my german landscape photography blog, have a few more calender covers for 2021 and wrote an article for c't Fotografie magazine, which is available from now on. Following are my personal top ... Continue reading →

mountain, drone, sunset, golden hour, wilderness, aerial, alpine, norway, 2019With this article I want to present to you my personal top three photos from 2019. During last year I did not go on as many photo trips like in the years before and thereby took less photos than usual per year. One reason is that I started a long anticipated project, naming a landscape photography blog. I've spent quite a lot of evenings and weekends writing tutorials, product reviews and trip reports for the new site. However, I nevertheless managed to spent a few weeks on a dedicated photo car-camping trip in Norway and some time in the Saxon and Bohemaian Switzerland and the Harz region ... Continue reading →

greetings, sunrays, forest, autumn, fall, czech republic, 2014After being into landscape photography for more than 15 years now during last couple of years I've always thought about writing more about landscape photography. I thought about writing an eBook or to publish a "real" book or creating a dedicated site for it with the purpose on sharing my knowledge and thoughts about it with other people. At the end of the last year I figured out and realized that my passion for landscape photography, writing and creating websites is best combined with a new photo blog. So, there it is. I finally started the new project at the ... Continue reading →

sunset, mountains, dolomites, autumn, fall, foliage, rugged, alps, italy, 2018In mid-October I revisited the rugged Dolomites in the Italian Alps to go on some kind of thoughtful and peaceful light-hunt and to enjoy the eye-wateringly spectacular views from the top of some famous mountain pass roads and hiking trails while car-camping and hiking my way through the mountains of South-Tyrol. I was there a couple of times before, one visit during summer and one during autumn. This time I wanted to focus on some places where I wasn't before, enjoy the larch foliage, the pleasant low and refreshing temperatures after the very hot and dry summer here in Eur ...

ocean, coast, cliffs, beach, summer, golden hour, kos, greece, 2018In the end of august / beginning of september we decided to spent some days just relaxing in a nice beach resort on Kos island in Greece. After countless years of individual traveling I once again booked a prepackaged tour including flights, transfer and hotel - and I have to admit - it was a really enjoyable and relaxing holdiday and not a dedicated (and sometimes exhausting) photo tour like my road-trips through Scandinavia, Scotland, Iceland, Norway or Germany for instance. But of course I couldn't resist to take my large Nikon D810 camera + lenses with me, but to my own surprise I ... Continue reading →

golden hour, mountains, light, sunset, alps, lake, bavaria, drone, eibsee, reflection, island, germany, 2018In early July I had a week off from work and decided relatively spontaneously to do a little bavarian lakes photo tour in the german Alps. I wanted to revisit some places I last visited about 10 years ago, scout some new locations and primarily just enjoy nature and relax but also do some decent mountain hikes which I wanted to do for quite a few years now, like the so called "Höllentalklamm" (devils deep), a very impressive, narrow, rugged and wild gorge near the Zugspitze (Germany's highest mountain, 2962m). This time I had no particular photos in my mind which ... Continue reading →

sunrise, mountains, valley, forest, saxon switzerland, sun, sunstar, germany, 2018Last week I spontaneously decided to give a long anticipated photo another chance to be finally realized. There is only a time window of a about a month per year to create this photo where the sun is at the right desired position during sunrise, clear horizons provided. Only between the end of May and mid-June the suns position at sunrise would be there directly behind the rugged peak of the Heringstein summit which results in a nicely composed and interesting image, at least in my humble opinion. As usual I've planned this trip with various apps, maps and tools like Photographers Ephemeris&n ... Continue reading →

harbour, fischer hut, rorbuers, ocean, golden hour, sunbeams, sunset, rugged, mountains, norway, 2017At the beginning of the year I began to plan a long anticipated roadtrip through whole scandinavia. I had scheduled about a month off from work during summer in August and September of 2017. For this photo expedition I booked a camper van, a Karmann Dexter, early in the year. I knew this car very well from our roadtrip through Fjord Norway in 2015. But contrary to our travels back then where the main focus of the trip was to enjoy the travel experience and the beautiful landscapes itself, this time my focus was on photography like it was during recent roadtrips through Scotland (2014) ...
