Distincion and details may hide behind glass but the nuances show through delighting my eye with shapes and color and horizontal sweeps of space.

When the sun first burst through the canyon I was a bit disappointed. You are, afterall, supposed to avoid direct sunlight when shooting waterfalls. But sometimes rules are meant to be broken.

Mono Lake on Christmas Day
And just like that, the show was over. As all the gorgeous light diminished, there was nothing much to work with, and it was time to pack up and go.
What a thrilling ride that I was able to catch though!
I don’t know when I would be back again, but hopefully I can go back very soon. I was super glad that I was able to catch clouds hovering over the snow-covered mountains while having some fantastic reflections of them.
Okay… Now, I need another adventure...

shot was taken at Changi Boardwalk Singapore...
ICM, interntional camera movement, combines with double exposure to create chaos out of a colorful street scene. Buildings tilt and join forces for a multi patterned backdrop. The white line provides a path of excape. A story only imagined is created with a little camera motion and doubling the fun with darkroom magic.

Vatnajökull is the biggest glacier on Iceland. His size is 8100 km². I wanted to cross a part of it on my trekking tour in June 2018...but things went a bit wrong...

Mono Lake on Christmas Eve
So, this was the first long exposure shot of the evening. I liked the composition a lot, so I kept everything as the test shot was taken. I started off from the beach closest to the boardwalk and slowly walked my way around the shore.
By the time when I shot this, the daylight was already faded immensely, so I knew I didn’t have much time left. Well, that is often the case in winter anyway. Oh, did I tell you that the temperature was dropping fast?
I wanted to show you how crisp these shots were, so I included the 1:1 ratio images of the rocks. It’s impossible to see the small details when you look at images on Instagram.
Please pinch to zoom them. You will see all the delicate textures of the rocks floating in the foreground or the Tufa towers in the lake (aka warship). Look at the fine blood-vessels looking little branches of the shrub next to the floating rocks.
Gotta love those details.
Happy new year, everyone!
What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce
Tailwind
ICM, intentional camera movement, takes advantage of a simple color palette to tell a simple story. Lines surround the walking woman in a slight diagonal cant. Red joins her magenta coat to add a spark of energy and potentially clarify her intended path. Rich light provided detail and there is sharpness about - places to rest my eye.

On the streets of Havana you'll often see people wearing all white, these people are going through their Santeria initiation.
Santeria, or "the worship of saints" is becoming a very popular religious practice in Cuba.
Here is a blog I have written on my website with more Cuban Street Portraits, check it out:

Color forms an intended triangle that anchors this street shot. Hues of red knit together pieces of the scene. She is the focal point, as humans usually are, and combined with her brightly lit bike, form the focal point. Strong vertical lines form a frame within a frame while intricate diagonals add interest and a feel of motion. Hot and cool add energy. But it is the light, choosing to dance within the frame at random that makes my eye want to explore the frame.

Multiple exposures emphasize the human figure and the graffiti that surrounds her. Light gives energy with its diagonal slant as it highlight areas of interest and directs my eye.

THE OLD BRIDGE
When I was at the age of 15 my brother and me often drove in his car to the Eifel. He and my uncle Erich introduced me to Blues and Jazz music.
One piece I will never forget was „Even Trolls Love Rock and Roll“ by Tony Joe White.
And it goes like this:
But we came upon a long black stretch of woods
Had an old river running through it
And an old wooden bridge across the river
Well just as I was about to step up on the bridge
Out stepped the troll…
So this was what I was thinking when I saw that bridge in the middle of Norway…of course :-) Have a great day!

Mono Lake on Christmas Day
I spotted this small, sheltered space with a view of the snow-covered mountains. Unlike the open part of the lake, the water was rather calm, so I was quite excited about the reflections. The reflections of the mountains were definitely not in store.
While the bands of thick clouds hovered over the mountains like Mono Dome and Lee Vining Peak, but, quite surprisingly, even Mt. Warren was clearly seen.
The mood that I found myself in was not necessarily something that I was looking forward to. And yet, it could change any minute. And I was hoping for it.
I saw a bit of muted pink seeping through the sky. Definitely part of Earth’s Shadow, but I wasn’t sure if it would come through or turn into something that made my attempt worthwhile.
So much for chasing light, I thought.
But then again, it could change any minute, I told myself.
Mono Lake on Christmas Day
I didn’t have to do a whole lot for the shot that you’re looking at. Light did all the work for me.
All I had to do was simply replant my tripod, aim my camera at and compose a shot of the beautifully snow-covered Mono Dome and Lee Vining Peak with those little Tufa rocks floating in the water in the foreground.
I have to admit though that it is not always this easy and that there were times when it was extremely tricky to compose a shot when using a prime 24mm lens.
For instance, there were times when not enough room gave me a hard time planting the tripod with a few elements in the foreground in mind. In such cases, I simply didn’t have the luxury of changing focal length when using a 16-35mm lens.
Sometimes such a make or break situation challenges me and sometimes it takes time to compose a single shot.
And yet, it is the sharpness (as I demonstrated a few posts ago) and the almost nonexistent distortion across the entire frame that please my eye.
I also appreciate its light weight of under 1 lb (15.7 oz) tremendously. Yes, there are lightweight 16-35mm lenses, but none of them has the aperture of F/1.4.
Meanwhile, the tranquil view that you’re now looking at simply tickled me to pieces.

Red Rings
Reflections upon reflections build layers of design and color on the sensor. Patterns emerge as shapes repeat. Light intensifies deep hues. There is energy here that keeps a static scene from feeling still.

The love affair with this pier continues ... I'm wondering what number I'll be up to by the time I leave?

Mono Lake on Christmas Day
As the sky got lighter, I turned around facing northeast again and composed a shot with one of the nearest Tufa towers in the water.
Like in the sheltered recess, the water was calm near me albeit the rest was of the lake was not, thus, I was able to capture rather clear reflections of these towers in spite of the short duration.
I loved the light at this particular moment… the moment when the sun was about to rise above the horizon, starting to illuminate the world with the pending exposure of sunlight. And the overcast sky was acting as a giant softbox.
LOFOTEN February 2018
Another one from my travel to the Lofoten Islands by Hurtigruten coming from Tromsö. The wind was so strong they could not guarantee to go into Stamsund harbor. So I left the ship in Svolvaer and took the bus to Leknes.
