The perfect morning? — The only important tip in photography 

Oh, it could just have been the perfect morning. The mood of the light, the presence of the perfect amount of misty haze, the spring green and me stan­ding in the biggest sea of wild garlic to take pictures. But the world isn’t perfect and so it is that some places full of wild garlic fell victim to the forestry work in winter and the other­wise perfect morning didn’t coin­cide with the peak of the wild garlic blossom. A pity really. Nevert­heless, some great pictures were taken and I have a very basic tip for you in this BLOG/VLOG!

Ein Morgen am See 

Obwohl ich im Winter für den Sonnen­auf­gang wesent­lich später hätte aufstehen müssen, als jetzt, wo es schon bald Früh­ling wird, bin ich kaum zum Foto­gra­fieren unter­wegs gewesen. Aber heute habe ich mich über­wunden, denn ich wollte eine träu­me­ri­sche Aufnahme an einem See mit Morgenrot aufnehmen. Also raus aus den Federn, solange die Familie noch schläft und los zu einem nicht all zu weit entfernten See.

Taking photos when the weather doesn’t cooperate 

Oh man, I wish I’d just stayed in bed. Now I have 30 minutes of hiking uphill in complete dark­ness through the Pala­ti­nate Forest and over an hour’s drive behind me and I’m stan­ding here in the middle of the fog soup instead of above it as planned. And yet the weather models were all in agree­ment. Fog level, dawn, ever­y­thing should have been fine. What now? Turn around, go home and give up or pull through and see what you can get out of it with a little crea­ti­vity? In this BLOG/VLOG, I finally get to grips with the auto­matic focus bracke­ting of my Sony a7IV, go in the direc­tion of B&W fine art with my images, show you how to get black and white images quickly and easily in LR/PS and prove to you that giving up is not an option and that you can always find some­thing photo­gra­phi­cally interesting!

Spooky atmo­sphere in the Allgäu nature 

What was I thin­king? I quickly disco­vered this small pond near our accom­mo­da­tion, but how do you get here? There doesn’t seem to be a path, at least not on any hiking map. Various map and outdoor apps don’t show anything either. And yet I’m now walking through the dark­ness. In the fog. There must be a way and I want to find it before sunrise. Read the blog to find out if and how I managed it.

On the go in dense fog in the Allgäu 

I grab my ruck­sack and quietly close the door of the vaca­tion apart­ment on the farm behind me. It’s still pitch dark outside and I’m comple­tely unfa­mi­liar with the surroun­dings, but I set off to take photos anyway. At last, after what feels like ages. I know that the area around the farm is partly untouched nature. So off into the unknown. There’s always some­thing to photo­graph. But this time I don’t even know which direc­tion is best, I have to let my intui­tion guide me. Will anything come of it? Let’s see what this land­scape here in the Allgäu has to offer. This morning will show.

Always perfect drone photos 

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!

Simply inde­scri­bable | Photo trip to the Faroe Islands 3/3

I’m sitting at the break­fast table in our flat, sipping comfor­tably on my laptop. The weather maps for the next two days show good weather for our plans. One more click and our ferries are booked. It’s easy and pretty straight­for­ward online. These are the Faroe Islands too. I’ve booked a ferry to Mykines and Puffin Island for us today and a ferry to Kalsoy for tomorrow. So the programme for the next few days is set.

Bein­dru­ckende Wasser­fälle | Foto-Reise auf die Färöer 2/3

The next few days on the Faroe Islands are coming up and it remains exci­ting. Over the next 48 hours, we will visit the capital, go to old mystical and legen­dary places, photo­graph water­falls in the rain, probably the most photo­gra­phed place in the Faroe Islands, climb the highest moun­tain in the archi­pe­lago and drive to the far north-east. But read for yourself.

Von wegen eintönig! | Foto-Reise auf die Färöer 1/3

Die Span­nung stieg. Die Koffer sind gepackt, das Foto-Equip­ment verstaut. Wir sind bereit für die Reise auf die Färöer. Vor dem Zubett­gehen noch einmal schnell die Zug- & Flug-Daten checken, dann nochmal für ein paar Stunden aufs Ohr hauen, bevor es wirk­lich los geht. Ich öffne meine Mails “Ihr Flug wurde stor­niert”. Was? Das darf doch wohl nicht wahr sein. Steht unsere Reise auf der Kippe? Wie wir trotzdem auf die Färöer kamen und was wir in den ersten beiden Tagen dort erlebten, lest ihr in diesem Blog.

Mit dem heutigen BLOG/VLOG geht meine Serie über Sylt zu Ende. In den letzten Wochen hatte ich nicht immer Glück mit dem Wetter, aber am letzten Abend auf Sylt hätte es beinahe doch geklappt.
