Sunset on the half way
Posted on September 3rd, 2014
Actually I wanted to enjoy the sunset peacefuly on the peak. But like mostly I was too late and the sunset started too early and I was still a good part away from the peak.
Therefore I took the rucksack of my back and shoot, at this really awkward place, a quick image out of my wrist. So you have to excuse the bad quality from this position, no comparision to an image from the peak with all these disturbing trees in the sight… 
After the short stop, I had still to go a good piece upwards to the mountain and until I was on the top, the sun was already hided behind the horizon.
Green

Once again a macro shot of something blooming. Free to the motto; it greens so green… In the spring there is already a pleasure, if you can discover a stunning green, after all the dirty brown tones during the winter time.
And like everytime I have no clue what it is. It was funny to look at, so I pulled out my cam and pushed the button. To hold the moment for bad times, like this summer, to have some enjoyable for the eyes.
The morning after
Posted on August 30th, 2014
After only a few hours of sleep, because I had to be awake on time for the sunrise and standing again behind the camera, I could enjoy this amazing view over the mountains.
At the evening before, I was climbing with a lot of luggage up to the Great Aubrig in order to spend a night on the mountain and to see the fantastic starry sky with the milkyway above the peaks. And also to shoot some impressive images with my camera. Beside the exhausting climb at approx. 30°C it was a beautiful climb. And at the morning after, still before the going down, I could get some stunning images of a wonderful sunrise.
Directly into the sun

After a long night on the Selun, was this the last picture I took, before we left and climbed the burdensome way back to the valley. Actually we thought it would be more easy on the way down, but we were wrong.
It was in minimum as same exhausting as upwards, especially because now was the sun shining. But everytime I’m looking at the images, I think, it was worth it! Mostly is it the same, if you overcome the inner temptation, then you will see it was a worthwile thing.
When the winter claws between the mountains
Posted on August 25th, 2014
After a long and exhausting weekend full of wedding photos, I found some time again to publish another image.
It was over easter in the Surselva and the winter doesn’t wont to go. Of course it was raining the whole long easter weekend or like you can see on the image it was snowing. Whereat I more like the snow as when it rains, at least snow is looking more beautiful. But let us surprise of the autumn, after the summer was never here this year.
Hoher Kasten
Posted on August 21st, 2014
(In english High Wardrobe) and it is not really high, but I am anyway happy, there is a funicular driving up, to the “High Wardrobe”. Well, so is it called, this hill with approx. elevation of 1800m.
I took this panorama with two shots and put it together. On the left side you can see the valley of the Rhine and on the right sight you can see the Alpstein, so called the mountain massif. There you can still see the antenna of the Saentis. Therefore I uploaded the image in a real high resolution and you should better watch it in this real high resolution.
Light pollution
Posted on August 16th, 2014
It doesn’t have to be bad, if you can see all the bright enlightened cities. It can also be very nice to look at all the lights, if the lights of the night are illuminating the fog from below.
On this journey I expected it and I wouldn’t be dissappointed. The fog ceiling was enough low and the Mythen was enough high. You have only to carry all the gear up to the mountain and after the shooting you have to carry it more far down, because all the funiculars are no more working. But I could take some nice images and I think it was worth it, or not?
Perseids

Tomorrow night from the 12. to the 13. of August it happens again, the meter shower reaches the maximum.
If you want to take some pictures of it, you should looking for an area with less light, set up the camera with a wide angle lens on a tripod and let it work the whole night long. For the best result, you should use an interval timer. The camera catches the most meteors in the direction of Kassiopeia and you should use a shutter speed of 20 to 30 seconds with the biggest aperture your lens has. The ISO numbers should be between 800 and 3200.
A lot of moonlight

My friend Sven, was a few days before at a training camp up on the Melchsee-Frutt. He guessed, it could be worth it to stay there for a night to photograph some images.
I was boring, my indexfinger was itching and the weather was right perfectly. Therefore we drove for a short stop over nigh,t up to this place and shooted the whole night long. I have rented two additional lenses, the 17mm TS and the 14mm f/2.8 from Canon.
I have to say, both lenses are really great, extremly sharp and both had nearly no coma. Especially the TS lens I would like to have by my own, if this lens is not so unbelievable heavy. And who wants to hauling more weight up to the mountains? But you have also to learn to use this lens. Because, if you are looking closely to the image, then you can see that the stars at the upper part are not perfectly sharp. After some meditating, I found the reason why this happend. The lens was a little bit tilted, but in the darkness and on the small camera screen I didn’t notice it, how silly…
Color explosion reloaded
Posted on August 5th, 2014
I see it coming, thick clouds at the sky above me and at the horizon bright blue. It was bound to happen, when the sun is appearing again at the horizon and the whole blaze of color bangs it under the cloud cover.
This shot is a single shot and not an HDR bracket series, like I do it otherwise. The sky was really that colorful and the only utility I used, was a speedlight to brighten up the apple blossoms in the foreground. There are sometimes such spectaculare sunsets, really!
