Rites Of Passage

Birches With A Touch Of Gold

I always wanted to make a picture like this and was happy when I found a group of birch trees that I could work with.

Opportunities Neglected Can Never Be Recovered

Evening light pouring through the trees. I planned nothing, it just happened.

The Eye Of The North

The sun is setting on the Ratenpass (1'077 m/3'533 ft). I like the barely visible tree tops right below the sun.

Lothlórien

I knew the location from one of my previous trips, the light just wasn't right the last time. But this time everything fell perfectly in place. To my surprise the sunlight was shining on some plants in the foreground which I didn't expect. All I wanted was some light on the trees, so this was a big bonus. This magical scene reminded me of Lothlórien of Middle Earth, a forest realm of the Elves, the centre of restistence against Sauron.

Mirror Of Water

Reinacher Heide is a nature reserve between the villages of Dornach and Reinach. I strolled along the river Birs in the nature reserve when all of a sudden this magnificent light appeared. I stormed through the underwood to the shore and set up my tripod very fast, mounted my camera with a CPL and a Lee Hard Grad 0.3 on it, composed the picture and shot. After three minutes or so the light was gone, I was only able to shoot one photo. Thankfully, the image turned out fine.

The Mystery Of 5M

Shot taken at the nature reserve Hinteri Egg in the canton of Basel-Landschaft. Hinteri Egg (1'169 m/3'835 ft) is the highest point in this canton.

The Unforeseeable Present

Prés-d'Orvin is a small village in the canton of Bern. I wanted to take pictures of the Chasseral from there, but I underestimated the cross-country ski tracks. In winter Prés-d'Orvin is a true paradise for cross-country skiers. It was really difficult to shoot a photo without any tracks or skiers on it. You can't see the Chasseral on this image.

Misty Sunlight

There was a short moment when the sun tried to break through the thick fog. After that the weather got even worse. The mist swallowed almost everything.

First Rays Of The Day

I wanted to take the picture at a mountain lake but I couldn't find the way up there. Which upset me a bit so I had to improvise. Took the shot at a field then.
