Sometimes it's time to clear out old clutter and make room for new things. I did that two years ago with my entire household and when I moved. Yes, I know, a real problem for the environmentalists here. Some of it was still usable... But anyway, you fly to Greenland to photograph polar bears, too. I moved two years ago, and it was a decision I've never regretted. With the move and my subsequent retirement, things started to change. I remembered standing by the Sternenfeld football field in Birsfelden on April 18, 1977, and recalling how many football matches I'd played on that beautiful pitch. But I was there that morning for a different reason. My three-year apprenticeship was due to begin in half an hour. Looking back, I have to say, "For he knew not what he did..." But that's another story. Why does this seem so important to me? It really isn't, but this morning I saw an obituary in the local newspaper where the woman had that exact birthdate at the top. For this woman, it was all over at 48. It was a bit strange at the beginning of retirement. Suddenly you receive money and don't have to do anything for it anymore. No annual review, but also no more pay raises. Still, you can earn money on the side, so I could theoretically earn an extra 8,000 Swiss francs a month with photography. Sounds good, right? Those days, however, have been over for a few years now. I think any photographer who makes a living from it could tell you a tale of woe. But I don't want to complain, quite the opposite! I recently deactivated my Facebook and Instagram accounts. Not deleted them, though. For several years now, social media hasn't been what it used to be: a showcase for your work and therefore the best advertising. Yes, I owe a significant portion of my income to Facebook. That was back when you automatically had a large reach and everything hadn't been overphotographed or overdone. Although I always chuckle a bit at the latter two terms, which are so frequently used on social media. It applies to me too, and to the photo spots I've discovered and popularized. Here's a new photo from a spot I love to visit again and again, one that hasn't been overdone yet. Nein, das ist nicht der Bölchen That reminds me of a funny story. Recently, a photographer from Zurich sent me a photo by B. Werner of the fog wave at Bölchen and asked if I knew the spot, and if so, where it was. I told him where it was and expected at least a thank you, but nothing came of it. Only after I pointed it out did he finally decide to thank me. Well... that's how it is these days... unfortunately. Just a little something to lighten the mood... GIF....I think you understand. But back to Facebook and Instagram. For about two years now, I've only posted a few photos, a bit more on Facebook because panoramas look better there, but mainly because the reach has dropped drastically. This effect was particularly noticeable on Instagram recently. It led to many people hiding their likes, which I can understand: what does it look like when you have 26,000 followers (bought or bot) on Instagram and only get 80 likes for a photo? Okay, I'll refrain from another smiley GIF. I'm talking about honestly acquired followers, meaning without buying anything or using bots (which a lot of people used, especially in the beginning). I even used one briefly about seven years ago. But that's why I don't have to hide anything, because I couldn't care less whether I get 20 likes or 1,000. It doesn't affect my self-esteem at all. But I'd say 80% of those who hide their likes have something to hide or belong in the losers category. But it clearly demonstrates once again what photography is used for by many. The dreamy eyes many have at the beginning, when they first see a wave of mist, often give way to a tired and lackluster look after the initial excitement fades. Especially if you set your expectations too high. It's no use clinging to an experienced photographer either. No one is going to reveal the tricks of how to photograph the perfect wave for free these days. Unless, of course, they're in love with you. Then they'll lay the whole of Switzerland at your feet. I've seen it all before. A GIF could go here again... But back to me... or has this been about me the whole time? Since my early youth, I've been accused of being a narcissist. But isn't every photographer more or less one? Isn't it practically necessary to be at least a little bit of a narcissist if you want to be successful? As the saying goes: success must be earned, pity is free. Narcissism isn't inherently bad. It's perfectly healthy to go through life with self-confidence. The desire to shine is a need that almost everyone experiences. A touch of narcissism resides in all of us. And that's a good thing. Narzissmus - auch bei Frauen weit verbreitet I know very few photographers who don't show signs of narcissism, but they're also pretty unsuccessful. I could list the biggest narcissists in the scene, but I think we'll leave that aside. Just to clarify: I have absolutely nothing against narcissists; real narcissists are usually successful. No, I don't like this idealized image of photographers that some people portray. But back to social media. Because there's less and less reach there, or rather, if you want more, you have to pull out your credit card. "Do I want this?" Is this really that important to me? You guessed it: NO. I started focusing on my own website 15 years ago. Back then, an incredible number of community websites linked to my first photography website: belchen-schweiz. Perhaps some of you still remember it. This brought me incredibly high click-through rates. I invested an incredible amount of time in my websites, but it was worth it! On my next website, this one, I had incredible success in the first few years. There were days when around a hundred visitors were on the site simultaneously. Alongside this, I also managed the Lightexplorers website for two years. We achieved unprecedented highs in our Google rankings there. We owed this to two links from Switzerland Tourism to two of our photography workshops. Apart from me, no one was really interested in the potential and earning opportunities at the time; in fact, I was really disappointed that the other members weren't particularly interested in this potential. That's why I soon started offering online workshops. There's also a detailed blog post about that. The online Workshops will fall victim to censorship. And today? Even Google isn't what it used to be. Only a few visitors to my website anymore. It's a bit different with blog posts, so I still write one every now and then. But the big party with personal photo websites is definitely over. AI is destroying photography. Anyone who still wants to earn some income or be successful should look into it... adapt or die! A few days ago, I decided to downsize my site as well. Neither I nor Google have any need for it anymore. Google is indexing fewer and fewer of my pages, and if another page gets removed from the index, am I supposed to make 80 corrections and request that it be re-indexed? Huh? No, definitely not! Sure, I'm laughing all the way to the bank; my money comes in every month. I have no interest in AI. Optimizing a website for hours? Nope. Today, I invest my time in other things, but photography will always be a passion, and I will continue to pursue it with dedication. By car, moped, or bicycle... yes, maybe even on foot again. In March First stop: Norway. In case anyone was wondering where my Instagram or Facebook accounts are, as mentioned above: temporarily deactivated. I've also uninstalled WhatsApp for now. Yes, after 30 years with the same phone number, I even changed it. It only took 5 minutes today and the new number is working. So, if you were looking for me, I'm here and bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. A big thank you to all my website subscribers. If you're not one of them yet, you can sign up at the very bottom. It's free and your inbox won't be flooded. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone! See you soon!

Am I a landscape photographer? An artist? Or a minimalist? Probably a bit of everything! Looking back on my 10 years as a landscape photographer, I've probably made all the mistakes a beginner makes! Trying to cram as much as possible into the photo! Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, a beautiful flower meadow, a few alpine huts, and some cows on the right—they have to be in the shot too! And there you have it, a landscape photo?! Tree on a hill in the Emmental There are photographers who have mastered this type of landscape photography, but I'm definitely not one of them. I'm more of a zoomer than a wide-angle photographer. A long focal length allows you to reduce a photo to its bare essentials, similar to a macro lens. That's why macro photography fascinates me so much! In my early days as a photographer, I was exclusively at racetracks in Europe. A big gun in front of the camera was paramount! What did I want with a wide-angle lens and tripod back then, the spectators in the stands? No, the car and the driver, filling the frame as much as possible. Then as now, I prefer to include as little as possible in my photos, but what little there is, I want to capture without any unnecessary clutter. I love this kind of photography! But back to the linden tree in the Emmental. At the beginning of March 2020, I saw a photo in an Instagram story and I was blown away by its simplicity! A linden tree on an Emmental hill with the most beautiful 4000-meter peak in the Bernese Oberland behind it—what more could you want! There are countless photos of these solitary trees with magnificent sunsets, but I've never seen one with such a melodious name as the Schreckhorn in the background! About two months later, I was there. It was a cool spring evening with good visibility. Linden tree in front of the Schreckhorn It was a lovely spring evening in the Emmental valley with Daniel Horisberger. But it could get even better! In mid-November, the time had come. One Friday evening, Daniel asked me if I wanted to go to the Bölchen the next morning. I very rarely go up the Bölchenfluh on a Saturday morning! But I asked him what he thought about the linden tree in the Emmental; thick fog was forecast. "That could work," he said. So we met the next morning at 6 a.m. at the agreed meeting point and set off, accompanied by Barbara Klopfenstein. It was still pitch black, and only a faint sliver of light was visible on the horizon. When we arrived at the spot, we could only faintly make out the tree and the Schreckhorn; the distance is enormous! Luckily, there are still many farms in the Emmental region, and most farmers are busy with barn work at this time of year. This meant the autofocus found a point to focus on thanks to the barn lighting. This time I had my Nikon D7500 with me, which I usually only use for wildlife photography. But I wasn't happy with the combination of the Nikon Z7 and Sigma 150-600mm lens back in the spring. The fog was swirling in front of the Schreckhorn mountain, and I needed to be quick since I don't have any ND adapter rings for the Sigma. The very first shot was a bullseye! Linden tree in the Emmental region in front of the Schreckhorn Due to the long distance and the limited sharpness of the Sigma lens at 600mm, the photo appears like a painting. Unfortunately, the Sigma 150-600mm f/5.6-6.3 DG HSM Contemporary is only suitable for landscape photography to a limited extent. However, the fog masks the poor image quality at 600mm (900mm on a DX camera) in the nautical twilight. Tree in front of the Schreckhorn I suspected what kind of discussions this photo might spark, but I was still somewhat surprised that so many people thought it was a fake or a Photoshop composite. But I can easily imagine that people who aren't very knowledgeable about photography might think that. The photo really does look surreal. I was lucky that morning because I had a hunch and a good colleague, Daniel Horisberger , who knows the Emmental region and its weather. Without his confirmation that it looked promising, I probably wouldn't have gone! We went back a few weeks later at a different time of day; there's no photo from that evening because the fog was a bit too thick. Making of You can see that it's real in the making-of photo; I still had to crop it a little despite the enormous focal length. Sigma, Tamron and Sony lenses at work Schreckhorn A few more details about the most beautiful 4000-meter peak in the Swiss Alps: The Schreckhorn is a popular destination for mountaineers seeking a challenge. The summit can be reached via several routes, including a more demanding route through the north face and an easier route through the south face. The first successful ascent of the Schreckhorn was made in 1861 by a group of English mountaineers. Since then, the summit has attracted many ascents by experienced mountaineers from all over the world. The Schreckhorn is also an important part of the environment, as it is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn. This area is known for its impressive glaciers, high mountains, and pristine natural landscape. It is important to note that climbing the Schreckhorn can be very demanding and dangerous, requiring good physical condition, experience, and equipment. It is recommended to hire an experienced mountain guide and to carefully check the current weather and glacier conditions before setting out. Linden tree on a hill in the Emmental Tree in front of the Schreckhorn Photo of the Month November 2020 Photo of the Month November 2020 Photo of the Year 2020 Photo of the Year 2020 at SRF METEO Picture of the Year 2020 Photo of the Year Photo of the Year 2020 at SRF METEO Photo of the Year 2020 at SRFMETEO Linden tree in the Emmental region - Photo of the Year 2020 I managed to take another photo of this imposing and northernmost 4000-meter peak in the Alps in the spring of 2016 with the full moon. Schreckhorn with full moon The photo with the linden tree in front of the Schreckhorn has sparked some discussion; among other things, I was asked if it's one of my best photos. No, unfortunately, from my point of view, I haven't taken any in recent years.

This year I'm doing a year in review as a blog post, not with my usual photo gallery. It won't be a top 12 gallery or anything like that. On the other hand, the whole top 2596 thing is getting a bit stale. In January, it snowed in the Basel region too, not just a dusting, but a thick blanket of snow. Early one morning in early January, I was at Ebenrain Castle in Sissach. A plowed track leads directly to the entrance gate of this beautiful castle in the Basel region. Ebenrain Castle near Sissach I've often wondered: which looks better, with the path plowed or without? The latter is difficult to achieve, though, as it's a well-trodden avenue and I want to minimize footprints. No, I'm very happy with this photo. I illuminated the foreground with a flashlight. The pear tree near Rünenberg is a worthwhile subject, even in winter! Birnbaum near Rünenberg Although I have somewhat mixed memories of this photo—on the way home, another driver slid into the back of my car—I still love the atmosphere that prevailed there at the time. Heavy snowfall, a profound silence, and not another photographer in sight. Of course, this photo also exists with a shorter exposure time. In mid-January, I was out and about in the Bernese Oberland early one morning. My destination was this church. It had snowed freshly, and this church is simply beautiful. I've been here several times before, but I've never found it so deeply covered in snow. It can always be better! There are always different views of this church; I liked this one from the very beginning. This church is so beautiful that it needs no further "ingredients." Church in the Bernese Oberland At the end of February, I traveled in this region again. My destination was Thun Castle under a full moon with the Niesen mountain in the background. Thun Castle and Niesen That was the end of winter for me, and I was looking forward to spring with blooming crocus meadows and gleaming white cherry trees. In the meantime, I spent a lot of time mountain biking in the Basel region, through snow, slush, and plenty of mud! This completely satisfied my need for fresh air, exercise, and nature. At the beginning of April, the time had finally come: the first crocus meadows glowed white and violet. A magnificent sight. This time, however, I wasn't drawn to the now completely overcrowded alpine pasture in the Emmental, but back to the Bernese Oberland. Crocuses in the Bernese Oberland After that, I felt great anticipation for the coming spring and especially for the "Baselbieter Blütenzauber" (Basel-Landschaft Blossom Magic). But things turned out very differently. While I managed to get some "money shots" at the beginning of the cherry blossom season, a few days later the frost arrived and ruined everything. A sad sight. The photography workshop was also rained out, and as if that weren't enough, summer itself was a washout. After the cancellation of the photography workshop and the subsequent events, I was completely fed up. For me, the most beautiful church in the upper Basel-Landschaft region is in Kilchberg; others might say the most beautiful church is in Oltingen. Unfortunately, it's difficult to integrate into the landscape because it's situated in a hollow. This church is completely different. On this spring morning, there was thick fog, and I happened to be driving on the road towards Kilchberg. Luckily, I also had my 150-500mm lens with me, and that's how the following shot came about. Bold and abstract—I like photos like that, too. Church of Kilchberg in the canton of Basel-Landschaft On my bike rides, I often passed old and dead cherry trees. The song "Gipsy Joe" by Polo Hofer kept running through my head. I thought it went well with the following abstract photo. Due to the heavy rain in early spring, the entire landscape in the Basel region was lush and green, unlike in previous years. I took advantage of this and focused more on wildlife photography. This allowed me to take some beautiful photos, such as this roebuck near Eptingen. Roe deer near Eptingen Unlike landscape photography, you have very little time for these kinds of shots; everything has to be perfect within seconds. And that was it for summer 2021, so I was all the more excited for autumn, which turned out to be absolutely golden! My last workshop in the Engadine was in mid-October, and I was really looking forward to it. Even though the changing colors of the needles weren't yet at their peak in some parts of the Engadine, they were still wonderful days. I enjoyed every single day, even knowing it was my last workshop. Lake Staz in the Upper Engadine There are thousands of photos of this footbridge; I've been there many times myself. But there's only one version that truly convinces me: this one. If the sun is too high and illuminates the larch forest too closely, it creates unsightly shadows, and the overall picture no longer works for me. Finally, here are two more photos, leaving it up to the viewer to decide which is the better, or rather, more beautiful. But I fondly recall how these two photos came about. I've already done that in another blog post: Golden Autumn 2021 The idea for this panorama came to me during a conversation with a client, so the very next day I hopped back on my e-mountain bike and took this photo, much to the client's satisfaction. Of course, the Emmental region simply had to be included in my retrospective. I had almost perfect conditions that morning. Unfortunately, on the way there, an oncoming driver ran over a deer in the fog; it was lying in the middle of the road. I moved the animal off the road and returned to the driver. He was more concerned with his damaged car first... I then pointed out that he had to contact the police immediately. Once again, my cautious driving style in poor visibility was validated. I hope that more drivers will adopt this approach in the future. I experienced many beautiful moments in nature in 2021. Of course, there were also less pleasant ones in my personal life. What troubled me for a long time was the broken promise of two former Lightexplorers team members and the subsequent devastation of the website. Somehow, this incident reminds me of the agreement, or rather the written non-aggression pact, between two dictators in World War II. I had, or rather still have, it in writing, but it was broken nonetheless. Although the comparison is somewhat flawed; it wasn't dictators at work, but rather the often-cited and considerate nature photographers, but all the more egregious for it. But for me, the principle remains: whoever has my word can rely on it 100% and doesn't need a contract. This approach has served me well so far, and I intend to continue it. However, I think it's good, and also about time, to point out that in this outwardly pristine world of photography, not everything is always "peace, joy, and happiness." In November, there was this shitstorm regarding the sale of advertising spots. I'll repeat myself: these aren't just spot sales; these are online workshops with tips on proper camera settings and image composition. Here's a short excerpt from one of our online workshops: This is information you usually only get upon request at an in-person workshop. Perhaps because space is limited or for other reasons. With our online workshops, you always have everything on your phone, provided you have a signal. Sure, it's a shame there was this uproar, but it was to be expected! Some photographers lost friends, new ones joined, as is often the case in life! I can live with that! That was my review... times have passed, let's look forward to a more peaceful 2022, and I'm now hopping on my e-mountain bike to enjoy New Year's Day in the fresh air in my home region of Basel-Landschaft! With that in mind, I wish all readers a happy new year and always "good light"! Want to be notified as soon as a new blog post goes live?
