Taken from Gornergrad, a rocky ridge of the Pennine Alps, overlooking the Gorner Glacier south-east of Zermatt in Switzerland.

I was like standing there and then like woah, all of a sudden there was this cloud reaching out and then it was like lit from below and I was like SNAP boom into my camera.

Moon for lighting, Photoshop, Manfrotto tripod, gloves.

Composite of one of my Iceland Aurora shots (available on my homepage as wallpaper) and an old photo of Bannalpsee (Lake Bannalp) in Switzerland.

Once I finished combining the Aurora sky with the once daylight scenery of Bannalpsee, I used Flaming Pear's great Photoshop plugin -Flood- to create the Aurora reflections. I little tweak merges both layers so that the original ripples are combined with the new "fake" ripples of the Aurora sky. Then I mostly corrected minor artifacts and color fringing and last but not least, used Nik Color Efex to play around with the colors.

Let me know in the comments whether you liked it or what you'd improve. Enjoy!

No matter how dark the night, the bigger the campfire, the more darkness is revealed!

Taken with a Nikon D850 and a Sigma 14mm @ f/1.8 (ISO 400) & 15 seconds exposure. Three individual shots were stitched together in Lightroom CC Classic and then processed in Photoshop CC. Color correction with NIK Color Efex. Finding right spot & preparation took 6h plus editing another 3h. Enjoy and let me know whether you'd like to know more.

At 2502 metres above sea level, Säntis is the highest mountain in the Alpstein massif of northeastern Switzerland. Säntis is among the most prominent summits in the Alps and the most prominent summit in Europe with an observation deck on the top. The panorama from the summit is spectacular. Six countries can be seen if the weather allows: Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, France, and Italy.

I'm currently on Iceland and was quite disappointed the last time when I travelled here (drone crash, bad weather and almost no northern lights).

This time however, my return to Iceland was awarded with the most powerful northern lights I've ever seen!

Lake Ohau is a glacial lake in the Mackenzie Basin of New Zealand's South Island. When I arrived at the lake, the last beams of sunlight shed across the mountain range and I had only minutes to take these photos. The strong winds in this area didn't really help. Would you like to see other New Zealand photos?

Although it was back in 2008 when I visited the Rockefeller Center the last time, it felt like yesterday. I noticed though that the skyline had changed quite a bit. The building in the front center (between 46th & 47th streets) must have popped up out of the ground, as it's not even in Google Maps. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful day and at last, I could experience how Rockefeller enjoyed a sunny day's ending.

This photo was taken near Adliswil at Lake Zurich, Switzerland. It is a single RAW photo and was post processed in Adobe Camera RAW (only a bit of color & contrast correction). The Moon was part of the original exposure and was not added later in Photoshop.

Ben Lomond (Bob's Peak) is a mountain in New Zealand which offers a great aerial scenic view over Queenstown, a resort town at Lake Wakatipu. A Skyline Gondola ascends Bob's Peak on Ben Lomond, making it easy to lift your 20 pound camera gear up to the 1,631m summit.

Lake Lucerne (German: Vierwaldstättersee, literally "Lake of the Four Forested Settlements") is a lake in central Switzerland and the fourth largest in the country.

I'm standing on top of the Fronalpstock, 1,921 metres (6,302 ft) above sea level, above the meadow of the Rütli, the traditional site of the founding of the Swiss Confederation. Happy National Day Switzerland!
