Since Barack Obama and his family visited Yellowstone National Park as well, there was just a little too much Secret Service for me and my camera. ;-) So, I decided to continue my photo safari trip to Banff National Park, where I encountered this beautiful, emerald colored lake. Technique: HDRI made using 3 of the 7 exposures (Smart object method) and then processed in PS with Nik Color Efex and curves.

Great sunset in the city of Montreux, Switzerland. Not an HDR, but I had to wait until the intensity of the sunlight was similar to the light of the castle.

I took this picture of the beautiful Victoria Falls on my recent visit in November 2009. The photo is taken from the Devil's cataract in direction of the Main Falls. The water at that time of the year is at it's lowest compared to the rest of the year. However the green vegetation around, the many thousands of litres of water storming down into the valley and the sound of twittering birds around you makes this a location worth visiting any time of the year.

Canon EOS 40D, Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8, ISO 100, 1/125 sec., 17mm, f/10. Post-processing in Adobe Lightroom 2, finishing touches in Adobe Photoshop CS4.

I took this photo just before a storm on the beautiful Kourio Beach in Cyprus.

I caught this little fellow while visiting Skokloster Castle in Sweden in October 2010. It wasn't at all happy that my dog ran around playing with his toy right under its tree, since it was in business of changing trees. After loudly speaking its mind it decided that my dog opposed no threat, climbed down the tree and skipped over to the neighbouring tree. It stopped for two or three seconds, just to make sure that my dog still was minding his own business, and that's when I managed to capture him here.

I got this idea while browsing through picture galleries of Steve Jobs on news pages. R.I.P. Steve! And thank you so much for simplifying the personel computer. You've done a great job!

This shot is made of 5 HDR images, each made of 7 exposures. When i was hiking up to the "Breitenstein", near "Wendelstein", in the Bavarian Alps, i had to photograph this nice panorama!

I wanted to call it "can you see your hometown", but in the single screen version you cannot see any hometowns, so i called it "View from Breitenstein".

I was trying to capture the beauty of this natural creation and was lucky to be there during such a beautiful sunset.
