Landscape nominee

I had the vision of combining the majestic triumvirate of the Bernese Oberland with a beautiful karst landscape from the region. I wanted a spectacular cloud atmosphere. This time I was specifically hoping for high cloud cover so that the view of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau remained clear. In addition, the sun on the old stone pine trees in the foreground should not be obscured by clouds. In the afternoon I discovered the rugged karst landscape with the trees marked by the harsh climate at the tree line. She offered tons of camera positioning. It was difficult to find the right one. You had to pay close attention to the terrain to project a great composition into the camera. I found a suitable spot with epic stone pines and rugged rock slabs. There I balanced on a fallen tree trunk to get a higher position so that the mountains and the trees were at the right height in relation to each other. During the golden hour i finally took this picture. The cloud band, as a counterpart to the rock slab, fits perfectly into the composition. It was just fantastic.

My beginnings in photography are in the analog times. I used the darkroom of my high school to develop my black and white 35mm films and prints. In 2007 I took photos with a self-made camera obscura as a high school diploma thesis. With the acquisition of a digital SLR camera in spring 2012, my artistic creativity intensified on photography. On the occasion of the international photography awards 2017 I received an honorable mention with the title “Pyrethrums of EM with dewdrops”. I have been working as a press photographer for the Bieler Tagblatt since 2018 and produce reports on current events and portraits of interesting personalities.
