Sleep deprivation, some bad decisions, poor timing and boring weather resulted in zero pictures yesterday. I was hoping for better today, and I guess it was… at least I slept better. It was one of those days which start with some disappointments but end up just fine. I tried to catch the moonset, but it…

It’s time for all play no work! I have booked myself for a long weekend in Messlingen, long being four days. The reason I chose this weekend is that it’s full moon on Tuesday and ever since a botched attempt to shoot the full moon on Flatruet three years ago, I’ve been obsessed to get…

We witnessed a strange light phenomenon today – the sun! When’s the last time I saw that? Some time last year anyway.

I’m finally starting to tell my squirrels apart. Now that I have them pegged down, it’s actually quite easy to recognise them. ”Blackie” is the biggest of the bunch, and darker than the other two. ”Reddie” and ”Stubby” (or ”Stubby-tail”) are otherwise much the same, but easy to separate thanks to Stubby’s tail – looks…

If I thought that yesterday was wonderful, then today was even better! More snow and less wind. When I set off, the trails were completely snowed over in some places as the snow mobiles hadn’t been around yet. The snow wasn’t too deep though to spoil skiing, so I enjoyed every second I spent out…

Very light snowfall today, but all the more wind. A wonderful winter’s day, in other words. It was also a bit dark today, so there was very little contrast. A few times I nearly tripped on the snow drifts because it was just simply impossible to see where the wind had piled up the snow.…

December 2007 was actually not half bad. A year ago we didn’t have any snow on the ground, but now we have plenty enough for skiing and snow mobiling (as always, I’m only doing the former). There were a couple of warm spells that threatened to ruin it all, but we had enough snow to…

I had been planning to spend the Christmas holidays in the mountains, but the weather conspired against me. I was sorely needing to get out there though, to experience some proper snow in a beautiful setting. I finally got my chance, even if just for one day – so I contributed some CO2 and drove…

Canon 300 f4L IS, ISO 640, f4 @ 1/160There’s not a lot of light but there’s even less subjects to shoot. So the squirrels are getting fat on the seeds and nuts… Under these lighting conditions, I have to contend with long shutter speeds despite a high ISO. The 300mm lens has Image Stabilisation (IS)…

Now that the obligatory play with words is out of the way, let’s concentrate on the picture. We have plenty of roe deer around here, but somehow I’ve just never managed to photograph one. They are very skittish so they will bolt at the first sign of a human being, while they have no problems…
