If somebody sees something on his raids which is impressive and raised, he pauses in a devout silence for a moment. For him it isn't necessary to hallow one of seven days because for him every day is sacred.

In the last few weeks I have been working intensively with Bank Voles. By chance I had discovered a place while sitting on Roe Deer and other game animals. Appropriate preparations were made. Two places were arranged accordingly and some food was offered. It should not take long until the small rodents had accepted the food. However, many days passed before the Bank Voles had shed their shyness. On the fourth day the spell was broken. Often good photo opportunities offered themselves. The bad awakening came with the evaluation of the photos. The depth of focus is so low, the ISO values are usually high and yet you have relatively poor shutter speeds, at 1000 ISO a maximum speed of 100ths of a second. The number of acceptable images is negligible. You can see the first results here. Helge wishes you a lot of fun viewing the images.

Song Thrush is about 20 to 23,5 cm long - (Throstle - Photo Song Thrush fledgling in Slovakia)

In my view is the photography of birds one of the most challenging topics about nature photography. Eminently the photography of singing birds. They are often very small and thereto also very lively. Another group of songbirds the corvids are not small, but they are very smart and sneaky. Fortunately gives it not only songbirds.

New images of the Red Deer rut 2018, 09 Feb 2019

While the 2017 Red Deer rut was not particularly successful from a photographic point of view, things could only get better in 2018. On October 13th even a successful mating attempt could be documented. Photographs were taken in two different habitats. The first, already frequently visited area, is a very extensive heath landscape. The other habitat is a forest area of over 10,000 hectares. The proportion of coniferous forest is over 80 percent. In this area deer photography was very difficult. Protracted lengthy waiting on forest aisles, which required constant attention. The moments with sight were mostly very entertaining and did not announce themselves. Unfortunately, it was not until the third last day that I discovered a large stage in this area with a viewing angle of more than 180 degrees. What the coming rut will probably offer for experiences. Excitement is provided.

After a long time I found access to the scenery photography. Thanks a lot for that to a good friend and photographer. He starts with this theme again and again and after some talks, it makes Klick in my head and I start my first landscape photography trip and it makes a lot of fun. It need some time, since I have the right view, but than it works.

Since years I search fossils. Certainly more by the way happenstance. The last time I´am looking more intensive and found some fossilisations. As a addict photograph, I have the target to present the discoveries in good photos.
