Fine art or fake art land­scape photography? 

Land­scape photo­graphy – it shows us the beauty of nature in impres­sive images. But not all land­scape photos are the same! Some images look like perfect snapshots, others almost like pain­tings. What is the diffe­rence? And is too perfect simply fake? In today’s post, I’ll explain what the addi­tion of ‘fine art’ means, how you can reco­g­nise fine art photo­graphy and how it differs from normal land­scape photo­graphy! Be sure to read to the end to find out why it’s not decep­tion, but art.

Wood­land photo­graphy at twilight 

I recently spent a few days travel­ling with my family in the Nether­lands and disco­vered a lovely little forest with some inte­res­ting trees close to the beach. However, the weather during those days was a bit unpre­dic­table. It was either pure suns­hine or pouring rain. Neither of these condi­tions encou­raged me to go outside and take photos in the forest. How could I still get some great shots? Then I had an idea. I’ll go when the sun isn’t bothe­ring me. Blue, diffuse, mystical. In this blog/vlog, I’ll show you why the blue hour is an under­rated time for forest photography.

One lens for everything 

FOMO – Fear of missing out. I think we all know what that is, right? Some­times it’s really bad for me. When the weather is great and I have to work or I have other plans, I get it – the fear of missing out on the perfect shot. That’s why I quickly expanded my lens coll­ec­tion. It ranges from 16 mm to 400 mm. Now it even goes up to 600 mm. With a tele­con­verter, that’s actually 1200 mm. I usually have ever­y­thing with me so I don’t miss a shot. What happens? Some­times you miss the shot anyway. Chan­ging lenses takes time. Setting out with only one focal length helps crea­ti­vity; it’s limi­ting on the one hand, but it gives you freedom on the other. If I had to give up all my lenses except one, which one would I keep?

Pola­ri­sing filters in woodlandphotography 

It is the only filter that cannot be imitated using other photo­gra­phic tech­ni­ques or image proces­sing skills, which is why it is probably the only indis­pensable filter in land­scape photo­graphy: the circular pola­ri­sing filter, or CPL for short. You can find out about its effect on photos and how to use it correctly, espe­ci­ally in rela­tion to forest photo­graphy, here. Also: when it’s better to leave it out. Have fun reading.

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!

Image proces­sing

The influence of image proces­sing on nature photography 

Maybe you’ve been there: You’re on a holiday that you’ve been saving up for for a long time and you capture your expe­ri­ences in pictures. After­wards, you’re a little disap­pointed because your pictures don’t even begin to reflect what you saw. If you have photo­gra­phed in JPG, you won’t be able to do much about it, and some of the pictures might just be for the bin. However, if you have saved the RAWs at the same time, your chances of getting some­thing out of the images increase signi­fi­cantly. This BLOG is all about what is possible with modern image proces­sing using the RAWs of today’s cameras. PS: Without sky repla­ce­ment or adding atmo­spheric elements!

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!

Photo­gra­phing mush­rooms in the forest 

Fall time is mush­room time. And although I was told it wasn’t going to be a mush­room year this year, I was comple­tely surprised when I saw mush­rooms ever­y­where to my left and right on my jogging route. While I was running, I thought to myself that a visit to the forest with my camera would be wort­hwhile. At home I set up my equip­ment and saw the email that the Sony a7IV can now do focus bracke­ting. I have to try that out. So I quickly installed the update and headed into the forest before the sun went down. Trans­lated with DeepL.com (free version)

Forest photo­graphy in the rain — ideal or torture? 

What do you do on a Sunday morning at 6 a.m. in summer? Right, you’re stan­ding deep in the forest in the pouring rain. Instead of wrap­ping myself up in my comforter again, the rain is drip­ping off my camera and nose. But I don’t want to moan, I chose this fate myself. Is rainy weather ideal for forest photo­graphy, or will the morning be torture for me? Read/see for yourself in today’s VLOG/BLOG

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!
