This is a 40MP crop of a shot with the Leica Q3. I love the fact how the fixed 28mm f1.7 of the Q3 makes me use my feet when I am out to shoot, but with the 60MP sensor it does come handy to be able to crop in.
This was taken on the “Gerner Brücke” (Gerner bridge) near the Nymphenburger castle in Munich, Germany.
From the west-side construction of the Hackerbrücke in Munich, Germany people often enjoy a sundowner. However, when the best seats are taken, one has to improvise and sit in the second row aka. the east-side.
This is from my last trip to Hamburg, shot at the end of an early morning photo walk around the Elbphilharmonie.
Signs of Spring are everywhere. Except for the weather. But when the rain took a break, I grabbed my camera.
In Finland in winter you basically have golden light all day long. The combination with temperatures below -20°C, that will turn trees into ice sculptures, makes every walk outside a photographers dream.
My very first photo ever of the Aurora Borealis from my trip to Finnish Lapland. It was shot near Levi, quite literally next to the road. You read about the aurora before and you wonder how they actually will look like, but when they appear it is pure magic.
A small photo walk through the woods in Finnish Lapland. The trees look frozen because even the tree bark looks as if it was made from ice.
Winter scene from Finnish Lapland. This was shot just out of Levi on a hill. You can see into the distance between the trees.
Winter landscape in Finnish Lapland. Seemingly untouched and beautiful.
My last day in Finnland and I had the chance to visit a reindeer farm. They look a bit skeptical but they are cute.
One of the many beautiful cabins near Levi, Finland. I really like the contrast between the red cabin and the snow.
The main attraction of my trip to Finnish Lapland: Northern Lights captured at the Northern Lights Village.
This is the entrance to the Northern Lights Village near Levi, Finland. A stunning sky for the last day of my trip there.
In Lapland you can see mailboxes along the roads like these. Sometimes the local residents are checking for mail. But the mailboxes do look a bit out of place with the ice and snow.
A snowy tree in the foreground with the Levi Ski Resort in the background. The sun is a little deceiving: This shot was taken at -23°C.
Sometimes you don't even have to drive far to see the Aurora Borealis. This is right in front of the cabin where I stayed.
A beautiful sky over the Northern Lights Village near Levi, Finland.
Northern Lights captured at the Northern Lights Village near Levi, Finland. The small individual cabins for the guests with big glass windows make watching the Aurora Borealis very comfy. But sometimes you still have to get outside for the shot.
Apart from the Aurora Borealis, Finnish Lapland allows for some really nice winter landscape captures. The golden hour more or less lasts for the hole day and spots with untouched snow are easy to find.
This shot was captured at the Northern Lights Village near Levi, Finland. These are heated sleds for guided tours to see the Aurora Borealis. In this instance they serve as the subjects.
