Friday, 16 December 2022

With great pleasure I would like to announce, that my image "Sound of Colors", showing a lovely wheatear in front of some spectacular montane conditions, was awarded as the runner-up in the birds category of this year's Nature Photographer of the Year. Check out some more details here and make sure to have a look at the collection of all the awarded works selected out of around 21,000 submissions from 96 countries.

I was lucky enough to experience this mesmerizing scene while I was out looking for alpine ibexes.

Gettin' ready for something new - New galleries

Friday, 16 December 2022

Right before 2023 is finally ready to take off and right before I will publish a so long over-due major update of my main galleries and project galleries, I'd like to invite you all to take a look at five more temporary hidden galleries, which contain lots of images, that finally won't make it to this website. You will find quite a mix of moments I captured in 2021 and 2022 in different parts of Austria while I was working on particular projects or while I was just out enjoying nature. More exactly these five galleries are the Liquids Souls 2021/22 gallery, the Limestone Alps 2022 gallery, the High Tauern 2022 gallery, the Alm Valley 2021/22 gallery and, last but not least, the Medley 2021/22 gallery.

These gorgeous red fox cubs donated me some super exciting memories.

Unforgettable days as we camped as a family right below some long-eared owls.

Some liverleaf and me enjoying the setting spring sun close to my home.

An image taken in the course of my Liquid Souls project.

Some delights of early summer in the Limestone Alps National Park.

I spent some pretty exciting moments with this rutting red deer bull hiding in the super high grass somewhere in Upper Austria's Alm Valley.

A heartwarming scenery, I witnessed in the Obersulzbach Valley wilderness area (IUCN category I) in the heart of the High Tauern National Park.

Gentle slopes, some first snow and a little spotlight up in the High Tauern mountains.

Even black colored birds, like this alpine chough light up in colors, as soon as they are hit by some harsh backlight. Again, taken in the High Tauern National Park.
Of course, I deeply hope you liked this last mixed up set of temporary galleries and you will check back here soon, for the main galleries update. Cheers.

Xeis - New gallery

Thursday, 24 November 2022

Since I'm running numerous workshops in cooperation with the Gesäuse National Park, I spent quite some time in the park in 2022, as I will also do in 2023. And although I take hardly any images during my coachings, I always scout the locations the day before and every now and then I also stay there for some more time after a workshop. So, today I would like to share my next temporary gallery, the 2022 Gesäuse gallery, which shows a bunch of impressions I captured during my days in Styria.

The national park is definitely an awesome place for wildflower lovers.

A chamois comfortably standing in a rather vertical wall of rocks, while I observed the animal through some green foliage.

Details at a swamp pond.

Birches always make a great subject, even more, ...

... when the light adds some extra mood.

In late spring quite a lot of siberian irises can be found in these areas. Definitely a spectacular wildflower.

And in summer, the national park is a really great place to look for a wide range of different orchid species.

I deeply enjoyed the light display that I witnessed that day as a thunderstorm was actually on its way. And I also deeply enjoyed the appearance of all this small swamp birch trees wearing their spring foliage. And as finally this crow showed up, I knew I would like to go for this kind of a super small scale habitat image.

One of the craziest alpenglows I witnessed so far.
