Today I'm bringing you one more shot from last year's trip to northern Norway. I still have a few lying around waiting to be uploaded...
2014: A Review
18/05/2015
Article
I agree, it may be a bit late to have a look back at 2014, but my goal was to at least publish this post before the end of 2015 – so I’d call it a success! Anyways, if anyone is still interested in what my past year was like go ahead…
Hold Your Breath

In late September I spent two weeks exploring northern Norway. Since I had skipped Lofoten (for reasons I'm happy to explain to anyone interested over a beer or two) I HAD to stop by at the equally iconic (but tolerably so) island of Senja.
2013… B-Sides and Snapshots
31/12/2013
Article
31st of December. Top-Of and Best-Of lists all over the social webs – you’ve probably seen enough of these. Still, this is the time to look back at the past year and so I thought I’d tell the story of my year with the help of a few shots…
In Perpetuity

It has not been long since I returned from a short trip to Asturias on the northern coast of Spain. The trip was not focused on photography and the weather did its best to make taking out my camera senseless, but I still managed to bring…
Surreal Revelation

I’ve been trying to capture the beauty of my homecountry Austria for some time now. So far with limited success. But two days ago, after many not so satisfactory attempts, I finally got what I had been waiting for so long. And here it is:…

We had planned to visit Iceland in June, but due to a few circumstances beyond our control we were forced to postpone our trip to September. In the end this turned out to be a good choice: less tourists and the prospect of viewing the northern lights…

There's a lot more to discover about Iceland than just epic landscapes. But although Iceland is well known for its literature, I for one did not pay too much attention to icelandic sagas – at least not until we had photographed a lava…
Stream of Life

It takes some time to accomodate to the sulfurous air, but the smell only adds to the otherworldly experience of a visit to the Hverir high-temperature area, where smoking steam vents and bubbling mud pots are scattered right next do Iceland’s Ring Road.
Beached Jewel

In my last post "Last Moments of Light" I tried to explain why I prefer shooting at little known locations far away from civilization. That's right, I do strive for a certain amount of uniqueness and adventure in my images but drawing the conclusion that I wouldn't stop for shooting an icon right next to the main road would be completely wrong.

During a recent trip (actually it was work) I was on with a friend of mine, we decided to spend one night photographing in the mountains. We finished work a bit earlier that day and started our ascent around 5pm. Most hikers were already…
Giglachseen
22/06/2011
Adventure
Finding an untouched area like the surroundings of the Giglachseen lakes is difficult in Austria. The lakes are located in an alpine valley above the tree line and are a breath of fresh air in the jungle of exploited mountains in Austria.
Total Lunar Eclipse

Yesterday, we were lucky in Europe - we could expect to see a total lunar eclipse. In Vienna weather wasn't perfect, and the moon had to pass a layer of clouds before it was visible. Luckily the eclipse wasn't over before.
Tre Cime: Rifugio Locatelli
31/12/2010
Adventure
If there is something like the epitome of an alpine view from a mountain hut, it might as well be the incredible view of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo seen from Rifugio Locatelli in the Dolomites. For generations this view has inspired…
Lago di Braies: Early Winter
30/12/2010
Adventure
Lago di Braies has become such a popular destination for tourists and photographers alike that quietness and solitude aren't easy to find. One weekend, when winter had set in early, things were quite a bit different. Late in October, when…
