Landscape and nature

It's very hard to capture the essence of a landscape scene and bring it to life in a photo, so that when looking at it you feel like being there. This is always the goal I have in mind when shooting landscape. You'll find images of great landscapes like the Grand Canyon here and also of various places around europe, e.g. Scotland and Germany. Since I love to travel this gallery will hopefully grow fast.

Seascapes

Capturing Seascapes is one of my favourites in photography and so has earned it's right for an own gallery. It's fascinating how the use of different exposures create such different scenes. As for my other landscape images my favourite time for photos of the sea is in the early morning hours or around sunset. Most Images in this gallery were shot in Europe but in the future I plan to change that a bit.

Travel

Here are some galleries where my photos are grouped after travels or places. Over the last few years I traveled quite a bit and hopefully I will do so in the future, so these galleries will grow constantly. Hopefully the photos bring some of the atmosphere of the places I visited to you.

Macro

When spring arrives I dig out my macro lense and start heading for some meadows or gardens. Looking at this microcosm is very fascinating. What I love to photograph are butterflys although they are quite restive and the only time they seem to calm down is in the late afternoon when the sun begins to set or in the early morning.

Architecture

When I shoot architecture outdoors I like the night. Most buildings look so different when lit by different light sources like street lights and so on. Also through long exposure there's no problem with people running through the frame, they just aren't noticed by the sensor ;-) I also started with indoor shoots and I like panoramas there. The way the lines bend in the final image creates some nice looks which the eye is not so used to and thus I think makes such shots intriguing.

Studio

This is for when the weather keeps me from shooting landscape. Then I like to setup some compact flash units or use lightpainting to light my still images or other stuff. You'll also find some macro photos in here but in contrary to my other macros those were taken indoors.
