Photography as observation. Photographer based in Southern Germany. No fixed genre. Photography is diversity. Fotografie als Beobachtung. Aus Südbaden, Deutschland. Kein festes Genre – Fotografie ist Vielfalt.

🐦 Black Redstart taking off. ✈️

Fractions of a second that are almost impossible to catch with the naked eye – but not with a camera. 📸 🐦 Hausrotschwanz im Abflug. ✈️

Sekundenbruchteile, die man mit bloßem Auge kaum wahrnimmt – die Kamera schon. 📸

Summer light, spontaneous street photography and incredible body control. ☀️📸

I met this athlet by chance at the lake and had the opportunity to photograph hisr Tricking session. Some of his movements genuinely looked like flying for a split second. ⚡

That’s what I love about photography: unexpected moments and extraordinary people.

A thin crescent moon hanging silently in the dark sky.

This image was created from a stack of 10 photographs using a Canon R7 and a Sigma 150–600 mm lens with a 1.4x teleconverter. Even from hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, the surface still reveals delicate structures, craters and shadows.

What fascinates me most about moon photography is the contrast between silence and detail. From afar it looks calm and simple. Zoom in, and an entire landscape appears.

Two versions of the same flower. One natural. One edited with a colour key effect. 🌸

It always fascinates me how editing can completely change the emotional impact of an image while the subject itself stays the same.

Photography is not only about capturing reality. Sometimes it is also about interpreting it.

Sometimes business trips leave you with more than notes and meetings.

Last week in Antalya, the Mediterranean suddenly turned quiet for a moment. Soft light, distant mountains and a calm evening atmosphere.

One of those scenes that makes you stop walking and simply look. 📸🌊

🌹 Focus bracketing fascinates me because it changes how we see small things.

This rose was created from multiple images with different focus points combined into one final photograph. The result reveals details the human eye normally misses in a single glance.

Photography is diversity: sometimes it captures motion — sometimes silence and precision.

🧁✨ a little bit of magic at home

a cupcake a tiny hat and hands that made something with love

sometimes happiness looks like this

💧 time hesitates

a drop falls meets another and forgets gravity

for a heartbeat it becomes something else

not water not motion but a quiet apparition

and then— nothing

Morning light has its own language. It shapes forms, deepens colors, and can turn an ordinary subject into something painterly.

A single tulip — almost like a painting.

Morgenlicht hat seine eigene Sprache. Es modelliert Formen, vertieft Farben und macht aus einem alltäglichen Motiv etwas Besonderes.

Eine einzelne Tulpe — und doch fast wie ein Gemälde.

An ordinary sparrow — yet full of presence. I’m fascinated how quiet moments can sometimes tell more than spectacular subjects.

Morning light, stillness, a brief moment of connection. Photography preserves these fleeting encounters.

Ein gewöhnlicher Spatz — und doch voller Präsenz. Mich fasziniert, wie solche stillen Momente oft mehr erzählen als spektakuläre Motive.

Das Morgenlicht, die Ruhe, dieser kurze Blickkontakt. Fotografie hält solche Augenblicke fest.

EN Between reconstruction and imagination. A small medieval watchtower at Kasteel Westhove, photographed in 2024 — a little journey through time before this weekend’s medieval festival.

Berlin im Abendlicht. Zwischen Beton, Kränen und Geschichte entsteht dieser kurze Moment der Ruhe – bevor die Nacht übernimmt. 🌇

Berlin at sunset. Between concrete, cranes and history, there’s this brief moment of calm—just before the night takes over.

📸 Fotografie ist Vielfalt – sie fängt Stimmung ein. 📸 Photography is diversity—it captures the mood.

Luzern, März 2025, finale Bearbeitung.

Fast ein Jahr lag dieser Schatz auf meiner Speicherkarte und hat geduldig drauf gewartet jetzt endgültig entwickelt und gezeigt zu werden. An den Foto gefällt mir quasi alles.

A small firework of nature. Bottlebrush in bloom — and a wasp finding its way inside. Photography means: to truly look. Ein kleines Naturfeuerwerk. Der Zylinderputzer blüht – und eine Wespe findet ihren Weg hinein. Fotografie bedeutet für mich: genau hinschauen.

Today this Flaming Katy (Kalanchoe) brightened my day. Strong colors, small blossoms – pure positive energy. ☀️📸

Wünsche euch einen entspannten Sonntag mit Licht und Wärme. 😊

Infrared world – 700 nm

My first photograph with the converted infrared camera.

Plants reflect infrared light very strongly, which creates this almost snow-covered look even though the photo was taken in bright daylight.

A familiar landscape – seen through invisible light.

Infrarotwelt – 700 nm

Mein erstes Foto mit der umgebauten Infrarotkamera.

Pflanzen reflektieren Infrarotlicht besonders stark. Dadurch entsteht dieser fast winterliche Eindruck – obwohl das Bild bei strahlendem Tageslicht entstanden ist.

Eine vertraute Landschaft – gesehen im unsichtbaren Licht.

From circuit board to liquid sculpture.

I rebuilt and refined my Arduino drop controller. Optimized hardware. Adjusted millisecond timing. Improved the app interface.

High-speed water photography isn’t luck. It’s precision. It’s iteration. It’s patience measured in milliseconds.

What you see here: – the electronics – the control logic – the app – and the resulting drop collision

The final image exists for a fraction of a second. But it begins long before the water falls.
