Same procedure as last time. Still going through the archives and still finding images worth processing. Again a first version, tomorrow or at the weekend I'll take a final look and do a print to see if I need to refine.

This year we went to the same place but the light didn't come close to what I saw that morning, one year ago. I will try again next year :-)

cheers

Edit: fixed the saturation a bit. Now it's more natural I think

A wonderful morning at Geroldsee in the german Alps. I waited many years to capture this scene in such conditions and I'm glad I waited this morning although it first didn't look like it would happen.

From last summer. Wonderful light as seen from Auerberg in Allgäu region of Germany. Not much to say besides: Enjoy the view!

cheers

Normally this would have been the perfect wide angle location with those waterfalls. But Tamron wanted tele photos so I looked around and found this perspective. It's great how the scene is compressed and how I get this nice zigzagging lines through it.

Besides using a lee 0.6 soft GND I also needed some exposure blending here. Followed my my contrast and color work. Guess what, I now have a tutorial of over 2 hours describing the whole process. See this link for more info

And sorry for the commercial ;-) But it was a lot of work and I just have to spread the word. If it's annoying, please let me know and I'll rethink sharing the link in future.

It's not often that I process one of my photos as bw. But for this photo bw is just perfect. It was a rainy, misty evening at lake Gerold, one year ago. The last photo I took that evening and now as I went through the archives I found it again. I already thought about bw when taking this shot. There wasn't much color anyway, just light and shadow.

Even if I usually prefer colors, I like this one a lot!

cheers

A beautiful summer evening at lake Gerold in Bavaria.

Going through this years photos. Still sooo many on my harddrive. Here's one from last june, taken during an evening at lake Gerold. No drama in the sky but a nice calm mood. I hope for some snow soon, then I'll return and get this one in winter :-)

have a nice week!

cheers

A little earlier at the same day.

Now that Tamron announced their new 70-200mm tele lense I can also post some of the photos, which I took for Tamron with a pre-production version some weeks ago. This one I took during a wonderful sunrise in the Allgäu region of germany. I was wonderful how the fog was laying over the land and how the sun bathed the whole scene in this magic warm light.

This is a panorama from 3 vertical images. I used a lee 0.6 soft + hard GND to balance the exposure.

have a nice week!

Last weekend I did a short hiking trip to the alps and I climbed two mountains. The first day I went up the Grosse Klammspizte but couldn't stay till sunset because of approaching thunderstorms. So the next morning I decided to hike up another mountain at 2:30 after the storm had cleared. This is the view I then had up on the Heimgarten.

Make shure to checkout the Vlog I filmed for the trip. I hope I was able to capture a bit of the experience.

Here's a shot from our trip to Garmisch Partenkirchen last weekend. This shows part of the Partnachklamm a 80meter deep ravine in the german alps. It wasn't easy to setup a tripod there for shooting, because there were so many people visiting this place and the pathways leeding through the ravine were so narrow. So not much time for composition but I think this one turned out quite well. I will load up some more shots soon.

If you like you can visit my homepage and give me some feedback about it since I'm still trying to improve it -> www.mibreit-photo.com

kind regards

My favourite view of the Karwendel. Lake Gerold as usual. Since it was so cold that morning I didn't use my filters here but did some normal bracketing and blending. More work than with filters but I didn't want to fumble around with them in the cold.

I also did some focus stacking for the corners. Though the tamron 24-70 is very sharp and also better in the corners than my canon 16-35mm at the same focal length I needed some slight blending since shooting f/8 here.

And speeking of focus stacking. I was guest in a Podcast where we were talking about it.

cheers

From last summer. Last light at lake Gerold.

Tech: some multiple exposures needed for dri and focus stacking. Quite some work for a clean result.

cheers

Another photo I took on this wonderful hazy morning on the Auerberg in the german allgäu region. It was fantastic how the sun was warming the land.

And now some promo:-) I have recorded a from start to finish post processing tutorial over the last few weeks where I show my workflow and techniques when processing my photos. I've setup an info post on my blog. Check it out if you're interested:
