Diesen Blick auf die Kalkkögel der Axamer Lizum, die sich hier im Salfeinssee so wunderbar spiegeln, hatte ich schon lange auf meiner Wunschliste. “Photographer’s Ephemeris” versprach an diesem Tag den Mondaufgang für 18:25, genau hinter den Kalkkögeln, was den Anreiz noch erhöhte. Der Aufstieg von Grinzens Richtung Kemater Alm und weiter über die Salfeinsalm bis zum See (knapp 1000 Höhenmeter) ist mit Fotorucksack und Stativ recht schweisstreibend. Der Forstweg zur Kemater Alm ist momentan wegen Murenabgängen für Autos gesperrt. Oben angelangt zeigte sich der Himmel bewölkt und nur einzelne Wolkenfenster liessen die Berge im erwünschten Licht erstrahlen. Der Beste Standpunkt für die Spiegelung am See war schnell gefunden, und dann hiess es nur noch warten auf die besten Lichtstimmungen, den Ort geniessen und knipsen, knipsen, knipsen. Göttliche Ruhe und keine Menschenseele weit und breit. Doch dann kam eine ganze Herde Kühe von der Salfeinsalm auf das Plateau und es war vorbei mit der Besinnlichkeit. Eine Zeit lang versuchten wir unseren Standplatz gegen die wild umherspringenden Tiere zu verteidigen, doch ihr aggressives Verhalten zwang uns schliesslich den Weg um den See frei zu geben und entgegen unseren Plänen doch bei Tageslicht den Abstieg anzutreten. Einige Bilder waren im Kasten aber die beste Zeit wäre sicher noch gekommen. Wir kommen wieder.

Spring is slowly approaching at Lake Obernberger. Shortly after the last snow has melted there are a few small flowers blooming and the cold wind from the snow-capped mountains blows a slight ripple on the surface of the lake. A beautiful nature experience at any time of the year.
I could not leave this beautiful scenery without taking at least one large panorama. I chose my 35mm f 1.4 which is my favourite Fujinon lens for this purpose. Took 8 vertical frames with 18 000 pixels first, before cutting and reducing it to this final size.
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
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.
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
Cute church and ski resort, too bad the snow was below seasonal levels, I guess it's a sign of things to come in rising global temperatures.

Winter evening at Obernberg am Brenner, Austria, happy weekend to all.
And oh what is the deal with the new user agreement we've been asked to agree...
Lake Obernberg on a cloudy day. This time at a very high water level.
Absolute peace and harmony at the "Salfeins" lake. Such a night is very rare in summer in the alps.
The church of Lans in front of a remarkable coloured evening sky.
Autumn at a place near Innsbruck, called "Eulenwiesen", famous for its beautiful Larch woods. I've been there a few times before, but never got it that colorful.
Light tracks always attracted me strongly within the last years and this place just waited to be photographed once. I passed so many times before I took the chance today. I blended three shots to get more light tracks.
Seefeld, Tirol, Austria, a few days after snowfall, late at night under a full moon. Snow cover used to be quite common in winter at this location,...

A calm evening at the Salfeinssee in Tyrol. Never had a clearer reflection in that lake.
Autumn is the best time of the year to enjoy the beauty of tyrolian mountains. This small lake near "Kemater Alm" is one of my favorite spots and this time we were very lucky to get such beautiful light.
Even if a little late, I finally made it to my favorite autumn photo spot. The snow wich has fallen a week ago took something away from the color harmony of this unique larch forest but nevertheless it was a beautiful hike. Now the winter can come.

One more from yesterday's trip to the beautiful Obernberger lake. Tried to get some more atmosphere into the scene here. Hope you like it!
