Last night at 2000m. There are not many places left in the #alps with low light pollution. Where is your go-to dark sky spot? #astrophotography #darksky

The bright core of the Milky Way galaxy shining over a dark silhouette of alpine mountain peaks, with a calm lake reflecting the starry night sky in the foreground. And a glacier.

Behind the scenes! 🏔️ From operating drones and timelapse cameras, to macro sliders that enable controlled movement smaller than a fraction of a human hair diameter... Doing this in freezing, harsh mountain conditions is tough, but it's what makes the final shot worth it. ❄️ #BTS #Cinematography

Fitz Roy (3406 m), Patagonia — this is why I carry a camera everywhere. Clouds forming, breaking, and racing past the peaks, the drama shifting every minute. This is why I shoot timelapse. 🎥 #Timelapse #Patagonia #FitzRoy #AdventurePhotography #LandscapePhotography

I have spent another two days in the mountains at Naturpark Ötztal to follow scientists that mapped vegetation at the 3497m high Mt. Schrankogel. And yes, I had an official permit to go camping. ⛺🌌 Camped under the Milky Way during the Perseid meteor shower. 📸 Film coming soon :-) #SciComm

❄️ Visited #Hintereisferner for a video project — a #glacier in Tirol’s Naturpark Ötztal ranging from 2,500–3,750 m. It holds one of the world’s longest records of glacier mass balance, a key to understanding climate change in the Alps. 📸 Film coming soon.

Pollinators are in global decline—yet we depend on their ecosystem services, from healthy ecosystems to food security. Visualizing them shows what’s disappearing—and why we must act to protect them. 🌸 Protect pollinator habitats, protect our future. European Environment Agency: tinyurl.com/yc4pp3ps

From on the glacier to inside the glacier — another great day of science communication with @austrianpolar.bsky.social We talked about glacier ecology, climate change, and why these icy environments are so important. Visual storytelling makes a difference. @polareducators.bsky.social

When I took this photo of the Moon, I remembered Carl Sagan’s words. He’s one of my greatest inspirations in science communication. #CarlSagan #ScienceCommunication #Photography #whiteframe-photo

Photo of the Moon set against a dark teal background. A quote by Carl Sagan is placed in the lower left corner: “The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena.” The text is clean and minimal, evoking a sense of awe and perspective.

Just as I framed the shot, the chaffinch took off—wings wide, mid-air magic. Caught it in flight on Madeira with the new 600mm f/6.3. Loving this lens! #Madeira #Chaffinch #NikonZ8 #600mm #BirdInFlight #WildlifePhotography #NatureLovers #Photography

Took my new #Nikon 600mm f/6.3 PF lens out for a walk in Naturpark Karwendel — originally got it for wildlife photography, but I’m starting to see landscapes differently through it. Amazing how a new piece of gear can completely shift how I look at the world. #Photography #Nature #Outdoors
