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.

Hi Mark, thanks for the kind words! The original was shot in 4K, 120 fps, 10-bit. The version on #Bluesky is 1080 × 864 at 30 fps, about 65 MB in size. I really like how the 4×5 aspect ratio works for this one. Hope this helps. Cheers

Rainy weekend? 🌧️ Grab a UV light and explore! These isopods under a lichen patch glow blue, red is likely chlorophyll‑a fluorescence. This photo is a stack of 400 RAW images! ✨🪲💡 #UVfluorescence #MacroPhotography #Isopod #Biodiversity #Laowa #HeliconFocus

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

Check out this time-lapse video of waves eroding an ice front from an experiment conducted in our cryogenic wave tank at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The tank is housed in a walk-in freezer, and the waves are precisely controlled. This video captures about an hour of wave erosion.

Schön, dass es dir gefallen hat 😊 Mikroplastik in sensiblen Ökosystemen ist ein extrem relevantes Thema – auch wenn nicht jede Institution wie @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social das Potenzial relevanter Forschung erkennt. Umso schöner, wenn solche Arbeiten dennoch ihren Weg in die Öffentlichkeit finden ✌️❄️

My interview with @nature.com “A new direction in our work is to understand the microbial inhabitants of the atmosphere. Is it just a dispersal mechanism for dormant cells, or does it harbour active microbes that grow and divide?” Thanks James Crow & @jacopaso.bsky.social ❄️ tinyurl.com/42u5tz5c

Looking at the chart below, such hikes might soon be less of a choice — and more of a habit. Create your own temperature stripes here: 👉 showyourstripes.info by @edhawkins.org #ClimateCrisis #WarmingStripes #Innsbruck #Alps #Kalkkögel #Austria #Tirol #whiteframephoto

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
