Today I’m reporting back from my home region. More precisely from Steinsberg Castle near Sinsheim. For this morning I had planned to take some wonderful drone shots at sunrise with surrounding fields of fog. In this blog, you can find out whether I succeeded and what I look out for when taking the perfect drone shots!
Actually, I just wanted to take a quick walk through the forest and see when the wild garlic is ready to bloom again. But now I’m amazed to find myself standing in the middle of a sea of white flowers in the otherwise green wild garlic forest. 3 weeks earlier than last year. That was certain. I’ll be back here tomorrow at the latest to take photos.
Puh, die Düne ist steiler als gedacht, dachte ich mir, als ich ganz schön ins Schnaufen komme. Nur noch ein paar Meter, dann bin ich am Aussichtspunkt. Doch was steht da? „Gesperrt! Militärische Anlage! Betreten verboten!“. Oh, da muss ein anderer Plan her, mal schauen was sich noch so finden lässt…
The journey begins. Sylt will be my home for a total of 4 weeks and I will be taking a closer look at the island, which is otherwise almost only known for holidays in a beach chair. Over the next few weeks, you’ll see why the off-season should be the time of choice for landscape photographers. Today I’ll show you how you can forget the ND filter at home for long exposures using a specific technique.
