The wishy-washy winter

Posted on Juni 1st, 2014

In the month of april the weather doesn’t know what’s to do. Is it dry or wet, warm or cold, should the grass grows or do we want snow again…
In my opinion is this a typical april image. Nearly every weather is mirrored in it. The sun shines, the grass is already green, but there are also dark clouds in the sky and a bit snow is covering the trees like sugar powder.

Sunrise on the Baederalp

Posted on Mai 30th, 2014

The attentive reader may remember my trip here on the Baederalp, when I took the wrong way. You can see the lonely house and there I should take the way left, which leads up to the Baederhorn, this is the 2000m mountain behind the house. But Mr. Fear took the way to the other direction, in to the forrest where you can see exactly nothing. And it was such a clear night without moon, good to see the milkyway … okay enough beeing fussy.
After I was back, I saw some other people, which took the right way, disappear behind the hill. So, when I already missed the nightsky, then I should make some sunrise images. I crossed the cow wire OUCH!, and stepped into the meadow. After I displaced some cows, which tried to eat my backpack, I could take an image of  this beautiful sunrise.

The clouds are getting thicker over the troll hats. Maybe it’s better I’m leaving now, who knows what’s happen when the trolls come back…

Bloomy monday, yes

Posted on Mai 26th, 2014

This post is dedicated to all of you, like me, who is suffering under the pollution of this plants. It’s the agressiv grass party. They think it is a good idea to use the air to transport very dangerous chemical materials.
We need clean air and therefore I founded a petition to stop this pollution. If we can collect enough signs, we can force a democratic decision, where all has to follow, yes!
It has to stop now! Vote for pollen free air!
By the way, this was a very tricky exposure and this are real grass pollen.

The beautiful sea of fog

Posted on Mai 23rd, 2014

It was one of these grey and foggy day in the autumn and I told me, why not go and see the other side of the fog. And so I packed my rucksack, jumped in my car and drove to the mountains.
After a short ride with the cablecar and a longer hard climb up to the Mythen, I missed the sunset. But all my hopes to see the beauty of the sea of fog are beaten by this extraordinary view down to the world. You can still see the orange sunset while up in the sky the stars are already blinking. And then, the lights through the fog, how amazing! I was really impressed by this wonderful sightseeing down to the civilisation.
After some shooting hours on the peak, I walked back to my car, this time I have to walk the whole way down, the cablecars are no more working after midnight. I reached the car at one o’clock and I was back at home approximately at three o’clock – good night. :)

The mirror lake

Posted on Mai 21st, 2014

Another image from my norway trip. It’s near the town of Odda and at the end of the valley on the the other side of the lake, you can see a bit of a big glacier.
I was walking to the end of the glacier tongue at another day. But I could not reach it, because it was so steep and I was worried about my buddy Bubu, which was accompany me.

A bird in the sky

Posted on Mai 20th, 2014

Here on the country side of Switzerland, we can see a lot of this red kites. The tricky part is, to get a photo of them. If you are walking around you can see many of them. Some of them are fighting against a crow or more in reverse order.
But if you are coming with your camera… nobody’s there. They are doing this on purpose, to annoying me. But one time I catched one of them. Unfortunately until I had my tele lens mounted, it was to high to get a full frame shot, but I cached em anyway. Ha!

I hope I could made a pleasure to some of you by showing this nice little flower in the big grain field.

The sun breaks through

Posted on Mai 18th, 2014

If you saw some other photos of me from this day, you know at this day rain had become a new dimension. Short before our daily destination I was driving around a narrow curve and then I saw this.
Wow, what an atmosphere after a very wet day. But sometimes it is better for a good photo to have a rainy or cloudy day than a clear blue sky without any shadows. It’s maybe better for your mood, but less for interesting images. After a long day stayed only in the car, we became a nice close with a moody evening.

Blowing in the wind

Posted on Mai 16th, 2014

The sun goes down, the clouds are dark, the wheat is golden and the clouds are moving. It was a dramatic atmosphere while the storm clouds are moving and with the sunset in my back.
To freeze the fast moving clouds I used a fullstopper filter and I could take the full 30 secounds exposure time to catch the wind in a photo. Can you feel the blowing wind?
