Foggy day in the oak forest #forestphotography #fog #oakforest #photography
Fog in the oak forest... the trees disappear in the fog and a mystical atmosphere arises. The photo is in simple brown and blue tones.

A favourite image from Holme Fell that did well in the NLPA and a rare black and white - I've really got to 'see' the image at capture as black and white for me to do them, it's rare I'll try them in colour then convert to B/W later #landscapephotography

I just stumbled over this photo again. It was such a nice time to take photos for a calendar, which the wildlife rescue station sold to raise money. Do you have a fitting caption for this scene? #birds #birdphotography #photography
A photo of two ducklings in a studio setting. One seems to say something aloud to the other - and the second looks in to the camera like in a sketch.

A different perspective on the Nallihan badlands in Turkey, captured while hiking in this otherworldly & very playful geology… BTS video in comments 😉 #bluesky #photography #scapes #nature #art #landscape #sunset #geology
Endless eroded sandstone hills unfolds up to the horizon, as the sunset paints red & yellow  splashes in the sky.

Here be dragons. My favourite photo from the frozen south.
A portrait format photo of a snow cornice that looks a bit like a monster, on top of a peak caught in a beam of sunlight amid swirling blue clouds.

The towering mountains of the Canadian Rockies emerge and, briefly, nature manifests as art. Nature's endless artistic potential is all around us. It's not always easy to see, but when you do, it brings great joy. #bluesky #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #naturephotography #travel

~Lanterns~ It can be rewarding to get up at 4am. A group of small pasque flowers [Pulsatilla pratensis subsp. nigricans] - before sunrise and with the lights of the city in the distance. Canon 5d Mk iv + Sigma 180mm f2.8 macro #wildflower #naturephotography #canon #photography #bokeh #austria
A photo of a group of small pasque flowers being in focus and the lights of the still sleeping city in the background. Those lights appear as big bokeh circles in the background. About 30 minutes before sunrise the tones in the sky are ranging from blue to pink - the grass and vegetation in the foreground is out of focus.

Winter ❄️❄️❄️ I really love snow and hoarfrost in the woods! It was such a beautiful day in the forest.
A winter scene in a forest... Beech and spruce trees are covered in hoarfrost, there is some snow on the ground. light fog wafts through the forest.

~ Three Sisters ~ Cyclamen in the forests around my home - last year I didn't take many photos of them, but this year I just need to. 1/80s, f/1.8, 135mm, ISO-100 #Canon EOS R5 + Canon RF 135mm F1.8 L IS USM
A photo of wild growing Cyclamen . On the left side of the photo there is a group of three Cyclamen to see they are all in focus. The rest of the scene if quite blurred, but you can make still make out leaves and other Cyclamen in the bokeh. The floor is covered with leaves but there are only visible very blurred, but they give a calm bokeh near the bottom of the photo.

Metamorphosis of a Black-veined white butterly (Aporia crataegi) … shot in my "Outdoor studio", in the early morning when the butterflies are torpid. #butterflyphotography #minimalist
The chrysalis of a black-veined white butterfly, stuck on a grass blade. 
Two black-veined whites roosting on a flower. Both photos have a minimalistic look, the subjects are presented in front of a white background. I shot the photos in the very early morning, when the butterflies are torpid. Shot in my outdoor Studio.

As it's the first post this year (HNY everyone!), I want to post this special butterfly - special for its looks and its life cycle. ~ A Leaf in the Wind ~ A brimstone #butterfly [Gonepteryx rhamni] f/3.2, 1/100s, ISO-100, 180mm #naturephotography #bokeh #macrophotography #insects #butterflies
A photo of a brimstone butterfly sitting on a twig with leaves. The background is lit by the early morning sun and quite bright - with more leaves and twigs in the bokeh. The butterfly and parts of the twig is in focus - leaving the surroundings quite blurred.

Dashing through the #snow ❄️❄️❄️ #dogphotography
A Shetland Sheepdog (Tricolour) runs through the snow at full speed. The dog jumps directly towards the viewer, all legs are in the air. Snowflakes swirl through the air. The photo appears very dynamic, the bluish white balance suggests coldness.

It was ice cold this morning and so beautiful! We were out in the #frosty enchanted #forest for hours. Happy new year to all of you!🍀
A frosty winter morning that has covered the forest thickly with hoarfrost. Frozen grasses can be seen in the foreground, and behind them are some beautiful birch trees. The sun peeks through the forest and illuminates the magical scenery.

Henna 🧡 A few weeks ago I led a dogphotography workshop in Vienna. This little cutie was one of out dogmodels. #corgi #dogphotography #petphotography #dog
Henna, the Welsh Corgi Pembroke lies in a shop entrance in Vienna. She has rested her head on a step and looks directly at the viewer with expressive eyes. The brown wood paneling of the shop matches the scenery perfectly.

Morning mood A foggy morning in beautiful Saxon Switzerland. #saxonswitzerland #fog #landscapephotography #rocks #landscape #germany
Saxon Switzerland - A morning view, shortly before sunrise, from the rocky mountains into the valley. In the foreground are impressive, rounded rock towers with a small pine tree on one of them. Thick clouds of fog drift through the valley, gently illuminated by the early light of the sun. In the background another bizarre rocky mountain range becomes visible.

The Adriatic lizard orchid (Himantoglossum adriaticum) is one of my favorite wild orchids. I find them difficult to photograph because of their growth habit and size (they can reach up to 40 centimeters height). #orchid #himantoglossum #flowerphotography #macrophotography
A photo of a wild "lizard orchid" (Himantoglossum adriaticum). The orchid has an unusual and whimsical appearance, its small flowers are white and purple. Each flower has a long, purple, twisted tongue. The tongues stick out in all directions. The background is sunlit, in shades of yellow and green, structured by blurred grasses.

Bled 💜 I was particularly happy about the mystical conditions we had that morning ... I had to wait for a loooong time for a very short moment when the church tower was clearly visible. I could only take a single photo, then the persistent fog completely covered the small island again.
Bled – A small island with a church on it, located in a Slovenian lake.
The water is mirror-smooth and fog surrounds the small island, which is only dimly visible. Only the church tower looks out of the fog. a beautiful sunrise illuminates the scene. The sky and clouds glow pink and purple. A gentle mountain ridge is visible on the horizon.

A photo of a beach on a rainy day.  In the foreground - occupying two thirds of the image, there are big egg-shaped stones on the sand to see. Their colors vary and they are partly covered by algae. Between them seawater meanders to the ocean in the background. Dark clouds cover the sky, but some sun sunrays cast light on the water and two islands in the far distance.

Whenever I visit gorges, I always look for swirls 🧡 This year I found and captured this beautiful one. #landscapephotograhy #longexposure #waterfall #swirl
An autumnal setting with a small waterfall that gushes out between moss-covered stones. In the water basin in front of it, the current has formed a vortex in which foam is circulating. The long exposure makes the movement of the swirl visible. The water is reddish in color - it contains iron and humic acid.

Besides nature photography I am also a pet photographer :) Action shootings are always fun, especially in the water! #dogphotography #action #water #dog #australianshepherd
A blue merle colored Australian Shepherd dog jumps over a branch that lies in the water. The dog jumps directly towards the viewer, with a very focused gaze. Thousands of water droplets of water are splashing.

The moments between night and day are ethereal 💙 #fog #landscapephotography #nature #longexposure #lake
A wooded shore is reflected in a calm lake. The fog rises from the trees and reveals a view of a mountain peak and the beginning of dawn. The sight has a calming effect, beautiful blue tones dominate the scene.

A roe deer on one of the biggest cemeteries in Europe. I really should go there again this year. #wildlifephotography #wildlife #mammals #canon #urbanwildlife
A photo of a roe deer standing on a path and looking at the photographer from like 20 or 30 meters away. The scene is located on a cemetery with big gravestones to the left and right of the path - as well in the background. The roe deer is in focus and most of the scene is more or less out of focus - so the main subject pops out of the scene.

Hi there! It’s always hard to choose the first photo for a new platform … Forest spirits 💙 Strolling around in the foggy magic forest - the best thing for me to do in autumn! #Nature #Trees #FallColors #Photography #autumn #forestphotography #naturephoto
A beech forest in the fog - the trees in the background are vanishing in the fog. The focus is on the branch of an old beech tree, which is still decorated with colorful autumn leaves. the scenery is mystical and Emils calm. A polarizing filter was used to bring out the colors of the autumn leaves.
