Bubu on the ridge
Posted on April 24th, 2014
Once upon a time in the morning Bubu told, that he need to hike. So okay, I packed him in the trunk and drove to the cable car station in Adelboden, took the a ride up and we walked several hours around and enjoyed the beautiful alpine landscape.
The dangerous part is, what’s going on in the small head of Bubu. One moment not intent and the small guy is on a journey. And this was such a moment; should I or should I not…
This moment was coming later after he saw a mountain lake. But at the end of this walking, small Bubu was really finished.
At the end of nowhere
Posted on April 23rd, 2014
To reach this piece of earth you have to drive a long distance through the mountains or you take the ferry. It’s the end of the large Lysefjord and called Lysebotn. If the weather conditions are good, then you can see some spectacular views from the top of the pass. As we reached the top one day before, the fog was so thick you couldn’t see the balustrade outside the windows of the restaurant.
Short after I shot this picture, we took the ferry and left this peaceful valley on our journey through Norway.
Da moon
Posted on April 21st, 2014
Today short and simple: our satellite also called moon. If you want to take some moon shots, do it in the evening. If you are too late, either the moon is blown out or the sky is pitch dark. I like to take moonshots early enough to get some blue framing and more beautiful are thin clouds around the moon. This kind of cirrostratus clouds mostly I hate like athelete’s foot, because at night especially with this bright moon, you will not see any stars only a white wall in the sky. But to shoot the moon, they are okay 
Sunset over Bensheim
Posted on April 20th, 2014
I’m still in easter holiday and after all the cloudy nights without a chance to get some nightshots, I had to walk with Bubu in the rain. And the best part is, it doesn’t rain everywhere, it rains only in the small side valley where I was walking with my dog, hmmm.
About the photo, where I shot two years ago. I was walking around to search good places for the portrait shooting of the bridal couple, when I found this sightseeing over Bensheim while the sun was just hide behind the horizon.
If you are lucky and the clouds are at the right position you can shoot nice sunsets everywhere. If there are no clouds you can have the best sightseeing and the sunset will not be spectacular. So don’t hope for a cloudless sky, okay to much clouds are also bad…
The closed peak hut
Posted on April 19th, 2014
The idea was to get up to this nice mountain and make first some beautiful sunset images, followed by the great dusk images and finished with the awesome nightshots.
But Mr. Fear was too late to see the sunset. I was nearly running the last part and missed the sun hiding behind the horizon. So I had enough time for all the other images, I want to take and I was staying up there until about 10 o’clock pm and walked down in the dark night.
This mountain path up to the Mythen is closed from end of October until May when the snow is gone. I was at the very last day up there, before the snow was coming. The peak hut was already closed for the winter and I was maybe the last person on the peak until the spring. On the other hand, who knows what other crazy guys are doing
The sun is coming
Posted on April 18th, 2014
The plan was driving on holiday over easter up to the mounains and making photos like a machine, was the plan… But well, the weather is going bad and now it is nothing with making photos. Only sitting in the hotel room and going out with the dog from time to time to get wet from the rain or now from the snow. That was also the reason for the missing post yesterday. I was waiting for the darkness and with the darkness the first clouds were coming and covered the sky.
So, for tonight a photo from the stack, unfortunately not a fresh one.
I shot this image as an HDR from the top of the Selun mountain. You can see the first light of the begining day and you can still see some stars at the opposite corner. And after I shot this image I thought in a short while is the sun coming up over the horizon. But no, it was going over an hour until I could see the sun shining over the peaks.
Color explosion
Posted on April 16th, 2014
Yesterday was it not possible for me to write a post, because I made this image, and some more…
On my way home I was a little disappointed about the bad weather conditions. Dark clouds above me and no sunshine, but after I was outside the town and near my home village, I saw the horizon. And there weren’t any clouds. So what will happen, when the sun passing the clouds and come near the horizon where no clouds are? Right, it will send all the red light under the clouds and we will become a memorable sunset. And so it happend!
It’s raining again in Jotunheimen
Posted on April 13th, 2014
After the whole day it was raining like hell, we had a short break. But before I was back in the car, it start raining again.
It was a bit pitty, because we missed a lot of very cool destinations and no, it was no option to stop and leave the car, trust me! It was horrible wet outside and so we drove from sightseeing to sightseeing.
Now we have spring again, and hopefully I’m looking to a nice year full of hiking at dry conditions.
The skyline of the alps
Posted on April 12th, 2014
Look at this, what a beautiful sight! It’s the view from the Selun mountain to south east over the alps. You can can see the lake Walensee and behind the Mountains of the kanton Glarus.
And who says a moonless nights are better to see stars? Maybe, but the moonlight is lighten up the wonderful landscape of this nice part of the earth.
I personally like this awesome sight over the Skyline of the Alps and every step at the steep way up to the mountain was worth it.
Good morning, sun!
Posted on April 10th, 2014
After I spent a half night out for walking and finding good locations for nightshots, I was already on my way back home, as the sun beguns to flood the valley with light. You can see the sunrays of the red early morning sun comes over the peaks into the valley and lighten up the peaks until they glow like beacon.
I hates to stand up in the early morning, better is stay awake the whole night and I can see the sunset, the stars and the sunrise.
