Landscape nominee

I was again with my family in the Swiss Alps. And my intention was to find some wonderful spring spots. But apparently the weather god had other ideas as you can see in my image here. I must confess that I never had such an extreme experience of falling temperatures and snow storms in April. In less than a couple of hours the area was completely converted into a winterwonderland … and damn … it was really icy cold!!! If you could zoom in you would see how much it was snowing in the distance and how strong the wind was. I had not much time to set up my equipment with a polarizer filter system to soften the light and to make this shot here. To balance everything right I made a focus stacking hand blended shot to have a good sharpness from front to back in combination with an exposure blending to control the light.

I’m a passionate landscape photographer based in Switzerland. I startet with photography in 2012 but it was only in 2015 when my interest became a passion or should I say an obsession. Taking images in nature is a great pleasure for me. That means to hike, to explore and to feel a sort of freedom … and to experience nature sometimes at hours and conditions that are not the very best. Exactly the oposite to my life in the office. My goal is to show how I see the world through the lenses as we are only during a limited time here on earth.
