In the park of "Schloß Ambras" Last glow of autumn colors.
Die Suche nach einem geeigneten Objekt für meine ersten Versuche mit Lightpaintig Technik führte mich an diesen ruhigen und doch so geschichtsträchtigen Ort. Der Glockenturm liegt etwas versteckt auf einem Hügel oberhalb der eigentlichen Kirche und darin wurde 1739 die für den normalen Kirchturm zu schwere Glocke untergebracht. Meine Lichtquelle war ein Led-Lenser P14.
Das Resultat ist eine Überblendung von 6 Bildern in Photoshop mit Hilfe von Luminosity Masks. 30Sek bei f/8,0 ISO 200 Tamron 15-30mm F 2,8
The church of Lans in front of a remarkable coloured evening sky.
Back to Tirol and another evening walk. At the last light of dusk I found this beautiful lookout near Rinn. Looking north across the Inn valley you can see the striking mountain named Bettelwurf in the back and some houses of the town named Hall in Tirol.
Another colorful autumn day in Tyrol. I took a short hike with my daughter, just armed with my small Fuji X100F and the idea to shoot some portraits. But as it turned out that there was beautiful light and still great yellow and orange colors in the larch trees, I could not resist testing out the quality of the Fuji at a HDR panorama. 4 shots +/- 1 stop, handheld. Some corrections in colors and contrast and a slight Orton effect and this ist the result. I really love this camera.

I have to Interrupt my intense Corsica travel revue with something really current. Fortunately we can find wonderful nature experience without travelling far, right here in Tirol. This panorama from the top of the Patscherkofel with the broadcasting station, a part of Innsbruck in the lower right corner and of course that awesome sky, was the reward for a 3-hours ski tour. Pano 8 vertical shots handheld
