“Turn your face to the sun and all the shadows will fall behind you”

When I switch from my macro lens to the fisheye lens it is mainly to play with the sun. It’s a tricky game where the direct “face to face” is difficult but when you succeed the images are just displaying the beauty and power of Nature.

Depending on your angle, the position of the sun and your depth you’ll get different results .

Sunbeams over a coral reef…
…or a sun-ball lightening up the way for an unusual threesome

Perfect moment-Ice Age

perfect moments

Today I decided to have a walk out there in the sunny yet frosty Upper Sure NP. Temperatures were still at -8°C in plain sunlight at 2 pm! On top of that a Siberian breeze inflicted a -20°C “real feel”! Although covered in thick and warm clothes my nose was quickly frozen as were my fingers while I was taking photos with my eye-phone. Nevertheless I enjoyed the bright sunbeams and the icy oxygen provided by the winds. In short I felt ALIVE!
