Area of Lomagnupur
On our way to the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon we made a short break at the area of Lomagnupur and tried to make some shots of the reflections of this iconic mountain. But the area in the sky above that mountain was not really a picturesque one. So I decided to do also some shots of the wide plain towards the glaciers in the distance. I must really say the mountains in the distance looked really nice and the atmospheric light was wonderful despite that it was just after a heavy rain.

Golden Sun at Stokksnes
One afternoon we were in Stokksnes in front of the famous mountain of Vestrahorn. What a special and beautiful place this was. In fact I can always return at this area and find always different possibilities to shoot, as the strong wind is continuously transforming the sand dunes to new structures. I found at my way to the sand dunes this piece of ice surface and I could not resist not to make a shot here.

Diamond Beach
Seriously, I would say that I have a certain understanding about photography in the mountains, as I’m always there and no matter what the weather conditions are. But to make shots at the sea … really I had no idea how to make such a shot like the one here as I’m living in Switzerland he he he. And more how dangerous those ice blocks were as they were moving when the waves came. But luckily we had two excellent landscape photographers guiding us (Enrico Fossati and Javier de la Torre). Ha ha ha … it was really funny to be there at the beach trying to capture the right moment and hearing both guides screaming at us from behind like … „You must go forward! … heyyyy!!! … more into the water! … wait … wait … let the wave overpass you … and now shoot, shoot and shoot!!! … Not so close to the ice blocks … it’s too dangerous damn!!!“. What a highlight that morning! I had to laugh all the time … how crazy and funny that morning was at the beach. And I have to thank both guides for the effort they put into us all the time.

I just found this image I made some time ago on a frozen lake in the Swiss Alps on my hard drive. It was really icy cold that morning but also so wonderful to be there in the morning hours and waiting for the sunrise.

Opposite the Kirkjufell
Just behind the waterfall Kirkjufellfoss there was this area here in the image. Well, I think nobody will ever notice this field here as there is the Kirkjufell and the waterfall, which are stealing the show, but as all the world is busy in capturing those iconic vistas I was attracted by the fresh snow covering the entire field and the beautiful light illuminating all those very very small hills. I decided to go here for a focus length blending as the background mountains seemed very small with a wide angle lens and I hope you like it.

Ice Cave Addicted
Oh man! It was a very cool and special day with a small hike of one hour on the Vatnajökull glacier and the visit of some ice caves. I had no idea that the visit of the caves wold be so impressive. I fell in love with such places here in this wonderful country he he he. And I must confess I’m addicted … I want more ha ha ha. It was so amazing to see so many different blue and green vibrant and bright colors, but it was also so challenging to capture everything sharp from front to back and to handle the big dynamic range with the cam. What you see here is a focus stacking image (handblended) with different exposures to capture everything of the scene. As I was standing in darkness I had to handle the dark areas around me knowing that just behind me on the roof of the ice cave there was a small hole letting in some daylight. And then in the distance there were two similar holes and finally the sun shining in the cave from the entry. A very cool experience and I hope you like my image here.

Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon
During our trip in Iceland we were not so lucky with the light due to heavy rain during two days. Well, what should I say … one of this days were exactly here at the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, which is full of icebergs flowing to the sea from the Vatnajökull, the biggest glacier of Europe. How challenging experience it was with that bad light. But, it is as it is … at home in Switzerland I can always get back to the spots as much as I want to capture the spots with wonderful light because it is near for me, but on such a trip I have not this chance. It’s more „Take it or leave it“ he he he. So I made a lot of shots because I have no idea when it will be the next time when I have the chance to visit this area again. In my imagination I had a certain idea of the images I wanted to capture … as I saw a lot of them in the web, but here … with this light? Well, it doesn’t matter. The light was given and for nothing in the world I would miss the opportunity to make shots here at this incredible and so beautiful place no matter how the weather is. I hope you like my vision of this iconic place.

Rushing Water under the Mountain Peak
Just another shot I made in the area of the Kirkjufell. Well, to be honest it was Enrico Fossati who found this spot here. It was impressive to see how he works and how he enters a new area for some special and unique views. He called me to join him and to make with this this special view. We were both lying on the ground as the underground was frozen and we had only a vague idea where the ice was thick enough to hold our both weights. And then also Javier de la Torre joined us as he wanted to make some test shots with his new lens (SigmaArt 14mm 1.8) … by the way … a monster lens. For those interested in that particular lens I recommend to follow him on Facebook as he is writing a review about his experience with that lens. Well, finally I think most of the group made the same shot from this spot he he he. But as you can see it was worth to be there the morning I made this photo. I can only repeat … what a stunning place and I hope you like my vision here.

Horse’s Neck
One afternoon we visited the area of Bùdir with the famous black church. And it was really unbelievable to see a lonely black church in the middle of nothing. This contrast between the wider plane and this church was burned into my memory. Of course I started to make shots, but there was something more than just this church. In fact I had a little troll in my head and this little creature started to talk to me „Look, there’s an old lava field not far from the church!“. „Nonsense, I’m taking shots from this cool church now!“, was my answer. But again and again I heard this little troll talking to me. And hey, how many times have I already experienced to stand in the middle of a lava field? It was obvious … I disappeared from the scene and I found me again in all the small canyons of this huge lava field. And it was there where I found this spot here.

Beside that they both are great photographers I must also say that they are such nice and fine guys and I enjoyed so much the time with them and of course also with the great group we were. If you visit their pages you will know what I’m talking about, and for sure I can recommend every workshop they lead!

Well, seriously … I have no idea what the hell I was doing that day I made this shot here. There was a huge snowstorm and I had the desire to make a short hike during my stay in the mountains. Of course the visibility was zero and after two hours of hike I decided to go back home as it was senseless to go on looking for a cool spot.

Do you remember my shot from a fairy tale forest some weeks ago? Well, this one here is another image from that super cool forest. It was like being in an exotic and unknown place and the best was that I never saw shots from this place in the social media. Here I decided to go with a vertical one focus stacking shot to have everything sharp from front to back. While I was standing in shadow the upper part of the image was illuminated by the light from the sunrise what was really cool to see and to enjoy … and it was exactly this situation which motivated me to make an image.

Mystic magic
At first I had not the desire to show this shot here, but the longer I look at this photo the more I like it. Maybe it’s because of the low hanging clouds and the fog that were partially broken through the light of the sunset. It has something magical and melancholic at the same time. For me a real atmospheric image and an experience that was incredibly beautiful when I stood there at about 2’050 meters on this wonderful mountain lake and admired this fantastic view.

Chasm
Some months ago I heard for the first time that there is a magic forest in the middle of the Swiss Alps and located not far away from our house in the mountains. I had no idea that this place really exist, after I heard some stories about the vegetation and what the humans were doing around this area a long time ago. Therefore I made some research and in fact I found something on the maps. And the best thing was that there was also a hiking path going up to the top of that mountain. It was clear that I had to see this forest with my own eyes. And in fact … really wow, what I found was really incredibly beautiful. Everything looked so enchanting and so mystical there like in a jungle. On the maps and knowing how steep it was there I calculated more or less 1.5 hours for that forest. But the truth was that I spend 4 hours in that forest and covering only a ridiculous distance of 250 meters. Every 10 to 20 meters I was so impressed and hat to make a shot … meaning putting down my backpack and grab my cam and tripod … making a comp and so one. Then walking again only a short distance and wondering again about the beauty … putting down my backpack and again the same story to dead till the point I left my backpack on the hiking path and walking only with my equipment on my shoulders he he he. At some point I also left the hiking path only to experience and to feel the moss under my feet. It was that time when I found this place here where I spend a lot of time looking down all the time to the other platform at a distance of more or less 30 meters. For me such a wonderful moment and I hope you like it as well.

As the title of my shot here already says … after waiting in the dark for the light is seemed to me as a revival of the entire area after a dark period of the cold night. The light conquered the land back and everything looked fresh and clear! I hope you enjoy my vision here and wish everybody a fine weekend.

I couldn’t wait to finally revisit this fabulous but small waterfall after one year wait. It all looked exactly like last year. It was as if time stopped here and far and wide no soul in sight which was very cool. I love this wonderful royal paradise … also because in the social networks I haver never seen a picture of this youthful spectacle of water. It was unbelievable how everything looked yellowish and autumnal. From time to time nature brings these little wonders to me and I feel like a little child with a gift in my hands. I know, for many out there it may not be the spectacular wonder of the world that you absolutely must have in a portfolio. But right now this one here is my little wonder of the world ;-)

Sugar icing feelings
Well, what should I say here! A wonderful hike with my kids during the afternoon to reach this area here at 2’200 Meters and enjoying all together the sunset and this stunning view over some beautiful white peaks! Definitely one moment in my life where I really can say I felt peace and happiness. I hope you enjoy this view as well ;-)

Breath of Autumn
Last year I found this place during a hike and despite I already made some shots that time it was clear for me that this year I would revisit this area in Autumn. And in fact, two weeks ago I was there again, in this beautiful valley between forests that showed their autumn dress in all their splendor. Those who follow me on FB could see a video I made two weeks ago in the early morning hours where I was playing with my dog Giorgio while I waited for the sunrise. The cool thing was that I found this huge stone which I could use in my foreground composition to align it with the first rays of the morning light. And in fact it worked what made me very happy.
