Memories
This is the time of the year when many publish their collection of the "Best 9" images.
While it is great to review the past year, I do not like the idea of counting the number of likes to decide what my best images were.
For me, my best images are those that evoke the best memories. I therefore made my own compilation of my most memorable shootings in 2020.
Join me on a ride through some of my best moments in 2020:
1) The year started with our traditional skiing vacation. A great opportunity to do some deepscapes. My Andromeda Station image was chosen as NASA APOD in March.
2) April brought the first lockdown. Fortunately we were still allowed to go to the mountains and I was able to spend a memorable night with my kids under perfect skies.
3) During a cargo flight to Shanghai to bring much needed medical equipment home, I was able to capture some red sprites out of the window of the deserted passenger cabin.
4) In summer the lockdown ended in Europe and I had two beautiful astrophotograohy trips to France. This image was captured during my first trip, where I was joined by Benjamin Barakat.
5) Summer also offered several great shootings in Switzerland and I was able to capture the perfect reflection at this lake in the Bernese Alps.
6) We had a great time dressing up for several fun shootings. The mastermind behind these shootings was my buddy Alex Forst.
7) Comet Neowise was the big poitive surprise this year. I was able to capture it during several occasions and one of the best was a night with Sales Wick at the famous solitary trees of Central Switzerland.
8) In autumn I was finally able to fly again. Most of our layovers are spent in hotel quarantine. Fortunately the US is more liberal and during a San Francisco flight I had the pleasure to visit the Owens Valley and capture the setting MW over some of the most stunning ancient petroglyphs of the region.
9) As the year drew to an end, the weather turned pretty sour in Switzerland. During one of the few clear nights, I spent a beautiful night with my buddy Benjamin Barakat, capturing the red nebulas of the winter sky.
Thanks to all of you for following my stream during this wild year.
I wish you all a Happy 2021 with lots of joy and good health!
