A glowing full moon rises in a soft twilight sky, viewed through a foreground of large, out-of-focus blue ice formations at Lake Untersee, Antarctica. The blurred ice creates a dreamlike, jagged frame around the sharp, bright moon, which has thin wisps of clouds passing over it.

Fitz Roy (3406 m), Patagonia — this is why I carry a camera everywhere. Clouds forming, breaking, and racing past the peaks, the drama shifting every minute.
This is why I shoot timelapse.

Tonight’s lunar eclipse, partly hidden by alpine peaks and drifting clouds. Still lucky enough to capture fragments of the Moon’s journey. 🌒🌕🌘

I have spent another two days in the mountains at Naturpark Ötztal to follow scientists that mapped vegetation at the 3497m high Mt. Schrankogel. And yes, I had an official permit to go camping. ⛺🌌 Camped under the Milky Way during the Perseid meteor shower.
📸 Film coming soon :-)

❄️ Visited #Hintereisferner for a video project — a #glacier in Tirol’s Naturpark Ötztal ranging from 2,500–3,750 m.
It holds one of the world’s longest records of glacier mass balance, a key to understanding climate change in the Alps.
📸 Film coming soon.

Some climbs are for science, all climbs are for perspective.

Hi Mark, thanks for the kind words!
The original was shot in 4K, 120 fps, 10-bit. The version on #Bluesky is 1080 × 864 at 30 fps, about 65 MB in size. I really like how the 4×5 aspect ratio works for this one. Hope this helps. Cheers

Rainy weekend? 🌧️ Grab a UV light and explore!
These isopods under a lichen patch glow blue, red is likely chlorophyll‑a fluorescence. This photo is a stack of 400 RAW images! ✨🪲💡

Pollinators are in global decline—yet we depend on their ecosystem services, from healthy ecosystems to food security. Visualizing them shows what’s disappearing—and why we must act to protect them. 🌸 Protect pollinator habitats, protect our future.
