Fig. 1:
Illuminated by the light of the setting sun, a swan is swimming on the reservoir near Klingnau.
Nikon D3; Δt=1/1000 s; f=400 mm; f/11.0; ISO 800; 21 July 2009 20:05:10
Fig. 2:
A bee is starting from a dandelion. Even 1/2000 second exposure time is too long to make the wings visible. Maybe try using a flash next time.
Nikon D3; Δt=1/2000 s; f=105 mm; f/10.0; ISO 800; 6 April 2011 12:35:17
Fig. 3:
A drop of morning dew has been accumulated on the tip of a blade of grass over night. Shot on the meadow of my terrace.
Nikon D3; Δt=1/200 s; f=105 mm; f/16.0; ISO 800; 7 April 2011 07:54:42
Fig. 4:
A mosquito is hiding under a blade of grass and the morning dew is forming a drop on the tip.
Nikon D3; Δt=1/400 s; f=105 mm; f/16.0; ISO 800; 7 April 2011 07:58:31
Fig. 5:
The meadow on my terrace has collected morning dew that is twinkling in the morning sun.
Nikon D3; Δt=1/100 s; f=105 mm; f/32.0; ISO 800; 7 April 2011 08:13:55

Fig. 8:
A seagull is flying over river Aare near the Schachen island at Brugg. It is a test shot with my used bought Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 and Nikon TC-20E II teleconverter. The autofocus catched the wing instead of the head why it is not properly focused.
Nikon D3; Δt=1/1000 s; f=600 mm; f/5.6; ISO 220; 27 April 2018 08:31:16
Fig. 9:
One of the tree swans on the river Aare near Vogelsang AG. It is a test shot with my used bought Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 and Nikon TC-20E II teleconverter. There's very little depth of focus when it is fully open.
Nikon D3; Δt=1/4000 s; f=300 mm; f/3.2; ISO 200; 27 April 2018 09:28:24
Fig. 10:
One of the tree swans after putting its head under water for searching food. It is a test shot with my used bought Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 and Nikon TC-20E II teleconverter. There's very little depth of focus when it is fully open.
Nikon D3; Δt=1/1250 s; f=600 mm; f/5.6; ISO 200; 27 April 2018 09:45:36
Fig. 11:
The old town of Brugg with the river Aare in the dawn taken. While I was standing on the Casino bridge a beaver swam underneath the bridge. It must have its lodge somewhere on the island.
Nikon D3; Δt=30 s; f=52 mm; f/16.0; ISO 200; 28 April 2018 05:57:50
Fig. 12:
Psst! A bat is sleeping and hanging upside down off the ceiling of the banana cave on Mount Brugg. The last time I was in here, there were no bats.
iPhone SE; Δt=1/100 s; f=4.2 mm; f/2.2; ISO 32; 28 April 2018 16:45:38
Fig. 13:
The old town of the small city Brugg with the river Aare. Shot taken from the Casino bridge. It was already a bit too bright for a picture in the "blue hour".
Nikon D3; Δt=30 s; f=48 mm; f/16.0; ISO 200; 7 May 2018 05:32:21
Fig. 14:
One hour later, the rising sun transforms the skyline of the city Brugg into pure gold. Maybe a shot around equinox time will produce better shadows from the trees in the foreground because the river Aare flows here from west to east.
Nikon D3; Δt=30 s; f=48 mm; f/11.0; ISO 200; 7 May 2018 06:36:05
Fig. 15:

Fig. 17:
A fly is sitting on a wine leaf on my terrace.

Fig. 18:
Unfortunately the ants are caring carefully for the lice on my sage. They are usually milking them to get a sweet liquid. This ant is drinking from a rain drop.

Fig. 19:
One week later. It rained a little bit, but not enough for much more water. Here's the photographic proof that my son really can stand still for one second.

Fig. 23:
Idyllic morning scene in the conservation area Limmatspitz in th water castle where river Limmat flows into river Aare. A swan mother is carrying its chicks well protected on the back. It didn't trust me yet. The scottish highland cows were resting over night under that tree in the background.
