Stars

Milky Way above Telescopes — The milky way rises above the hazy sea of light pollution. Some illuminated cirrus clouds are blocking the celestial view. In the front some amateur astronomers with telescopes have been caught in the act. Spring telescope meeting at Ahornalp. — EXIF: Nikon D850; Δt=20 s; f=17 mm; f/2.8; ISO 3200; 2018-05-19 1:07:12

Milky Way above Tree — The milky way rises above the hazy sea of light pollution. The light pollution is caused by Lucerne. The tree was lit for a few seconds with the display of an iPhone. I should use slightly orange instead of pure white instead to get a warmer tone. Spring telescope meeting at Ahornalp. — EXIF: Nikon D850; Δt=15 s; f=17 mm; f/3.5; ISO 6400; 2018-05-19 2:16:37

Bern

Sunset — Sun, clouds and mist create a wonderful colorful sunset on Ahornalp in Emmental. The shadow recovery of the Nikon D850 is just awesome. All the trees were just pitch black before pushing the shadows in Lightroom. — EXIF: Nikon D850; Δt=1/200 s; f=50 mm; f/7.1; ISO 200; 2018-05-18 21:00:40

Moon

Half Moon with Clouds — A cloud is moving in front of the waxing half moon. William Optics Zenitstar d=105mm f=735mm f/7. — EXIF: Nikon D850; Δt=1/1000 s; ISO 200; 2018-05-21 16:53:19

Three Quarter Moon — I was waiting two hours for an airplane crossing the moon. Once the earth shadow was so high that crossing airplanes would no longer be lit by the sun, I gave up. The iPhone app Flightradar24 is useful for getting prepared. Sometimes airplanes don't have a clearly visible trail. William Optics Zenitstar f=735mm f/7 + Nikon TC-20E II 2x teleconverter. — EXIF: Nikon D850; Δt=1/250 s; ISO 400; 2018-05-24 21:06:13

Airplane Crossing Moon — Finally it worked on the next day. A picture without cheating by stacking layers in Photoshop. Unfortunately there were some thin cirrus clouds on the sky. That's why the contrast isn't the best. One 1/250 second exposure time seems already be too long for getting an airplane without motion blur. William Optics Zenitstar f=735mm f/7 + Nikon TC-20E II 2x teleconverter. — EXIF: Nikon D850; Δt=1/250 s; ISO 320; 2018-05-25 18:47:53

Waxing Moon — And again the Moon on the same day, but without airplane, cirrus clouds and shot in the night. It is recommended to take multiple pictures and then later select the sharpest. Bad seeing caused by moving air blurs an image. William Optics Zenitstar f=735mm f/7 + Nikon TC-20E II 2x teleconverter. — EXIF: Nikon D850; Δt=1/250 s; ISO 400; 2018-05-25 23:17:02

Full Moon Rising — The full Moon is rising above the forst on thop of the neighbouring hill "Gebenstorfer Horn".

Full Moon Rising with Airplane — The full Moon is rising above the forst on thop of the neighbouring hill "Gebenstorfer Horn". Some craters are already visible on the right hand side because the full Moon was four hours ago. An airplane is flying in front of the Moon and spraying chemtrails consisting of carbon dioxide and dihydrogen monoxide. Probably I should wear a hat made of aluminum foil to protect me from CIA spy satellites that can read my thoughts. William Optics Zenitstar f=735mm f/7 + Nikon TC-20E II 2x teleconverter. — EXIF: Nikon D850; Δt=1/60 s; ISO 800; 2018-05-29 21:24:25

Aircraft in Front of the Moon — After two hours waiting an aircraft finally crossed the waxing half moon. This time with no chemtrails or better call them condensation trails. But one can see the hot exhaust. It was flight Aegan Airlines A3475 from Paris Charles de Gaulle CDG: to Rhodes RHO:. Aircraft is an Airbus A320-323, registration number SX-DGR, altitude 10058 m, ground speed 872 km/h.

Aargau

Flying Seagull — 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. — EXIF: Nikon D3; Δt=1/1000 s; f=600 mm; f/5.6; ISO 220; 2018-04-27 8:31:16

Brugg at Sunrise — 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. — EXIF: Nikon D3; Δt=30 s; f=48 mm; f/11.0; ISO 200; 2018-05-07 6:36:05

Weather

Lightning — Just a small boring thunderstorm missing Brugg as usual and disappeared from my point of view through the window. This picture was captured using MIOPS Smart Trigger which fires the camera only when it detects a lightning bolt. Very useful for daytime lighting photography and saving time in post processing. — EXIF: Nikon D850; Δt=10 s; f=32 mm; f/5.6; ISO 200; 2018-05-28 2:09:58

Lightning — On contrary to yesterday's thunderstorm this time there were at least some lightnings hitting the ground and not just all hidden behind the clouds. This picture was captured using MIOPS Smart Trigger. If possible I recommend to shoot at least for 1/4 second and choose ISO and stop to underexpose the background by ca 1 stop. Otherwise a lightning may be spread over multiple images or hardly visible because the background is too bright. — EXIF: Nikon D850; Δt=1/4 s; f=31 mm; f/5.6; ISO 100; 2018-05-31 21:06:01

Crayfish — A crayfish is sitting on a stone. Okay the Nikkor AF 20mm 1:2.8 D wide angle lens is not really suitable for macro photography, but at least it is better than my Nikkor AF-S 12-24, which has very soft edges in the dome port.

Crayfish — Shooting crayfish with a fisheye lense is pretty tricky. One has to put the dome port very close to the crayfish and shoot blindly. In most of the shots the crayfish wasn't sharp though.

Miscellaneous

Making of Catfish in Rhine — My dive buddy was taking a picture of me while I was shooting the catfish in river Rhine. Unfortunately the catfish didn't want to get closer and let me take more pictures of it.

Napoleon before/after — Okay, this time it is real cheating. It's the first time a Napoleon gets that close to take a good picture and then a diver is right behind the fish. The picture was made right after all have jumped into water. I used Photoshop to remove the diver's fins, arm, hose and bubbles. I also enhanced colours and contrast a bit to get the pretty patterns on the fish and removed some white scars.

Aare River

Clamshells — Two empty clamshells. It was just a test shot for the right camera settings, but despite of some caddisfly larvae there was nothing more interesting on this dive site. Dive #645: Swimming bath Brugg, Aare. — EXIF: Nikon D200; Δt=1/250 s; f=105 mm; f/22.0; ISO 200; 2018-05-04 9:15:55

Caddisfly Larva — The larva of a Caddisfly (lat. Trichoptera) is living under water and builds a tube from various little pieces that it finds. It uses it for hiding and protection. Unfortunately there was nothing more interesting on this dive site at river Aare near the open air swimming pool at Brugg. The maximum depth there is about four meters.
