It is one of the most popular diving destinations. As this lake has neither inflow nor outflow, the water here is particularly clear. Sunken trees at the far end form an underwater Mikado. Slime algae overgrow everything and create an enchanted fairytale world. If you want to dive here, you must book two nights at Hotel Schloss Fernsteinsee and have at least 100 dives under your belt. To protect the underwater world, the number of divers per day and per dive is regulated. http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/austria/image20170903-iphone-0935.jpg Lake Blind, Austria On the other side of the Fernpass lies the Blindsee. Seen here from the service area at the top of the pass. It is a (not so secret anymore) insider tip among divers. Numerous sunken tree trunks form a tangled underwater Mikado. In contrast to the Samarangersee, it is not quite as clear, but has a greater abundance of fish. The Blindsee is privately owned by the MOHR Life Resort in the village of Lermoos, just a few minutes away. Diving is only allowed with permission. http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/austria/index.en.php/image2009-d3-2361 http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/austria/index.en.php/image2009-d3-2363 http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/austria/index.en.php/image2009-d3-2365 http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/austria/index.en.php/image2009-d3-2367 http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/austria/index.en.php/image2009-d3-2369 http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/austria/index.en.php/image2009-d3-2372 http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/austria/index.en.php/image2009-d3-2374 http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/austria/index.en.php/image2009-d3-2377 http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/austria/index.en.php/image2009-d3-2380 http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/austria/index.en.php/image2009-d3-2389 http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/austria/index.en.php/image20160815-iphone-9041 http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/austria/index.en.php/image20160815-iphone-9046 http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/austria/index.en.php/image20170903-iphone-0933 http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/austria/index.en.php/image20170903-iphone-0935 http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/budapest/index.en.php http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/budapest/image2007a6797.jpg Parliament, Budapest The famous parliament building of Budapest illuminated by beams.

It was after 3am and the crescent moon shone through the palm treetops. Rarotonga, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b3388.jpg Surf, Cook Islands There is a reef around Rarotonga, about 100-200m out to sea and only 1.5-1m deep. This is where the waves break, which hit the island unhindered from all over the Pacific. Snorkeling that far out is unhealthy. You're either smashed against the reef or you can't make it back. Rarotonga, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b3409.jpg Palm Road, Cook Islands Some path with palm trees that leads to the interior of the island.

Rarotonga, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b3454.jpg Sandra on Scooter, Cook Islands Sandra on the scooter that we rented to explore the island. The road around the island is only 32km long. A bicycle would also have done, but there were only electric bicycles to rent, which were more expensive than a scooter for a day.

Unfortunately, after this test shot with a high ISO number, I couldn't take any more photos because a horde of children came along with torches and flashlights, chasing crabs. Afterwards a bonfire burned on the spot and later it was bad weather or lamps from the hotel lit here. Rarotonga, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b3509.jpg Palms in Sunlight, Cook Islands Palm trees in the light of the setting sun. The mountain peaks of Rarotonga are often stuck in a cloud.

Rarotonga, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b3575.jpg House, Cook Islands Another beautiful house. Probably another holiday residence from a New Zealander. The homes of the less well-to-do natives are less ornate, but not really shabby either.

Rarotonga, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b3590.jpg Sunset with Palms, Cook Islands Sunset with palm trees. Unfortunately, the sun disappeared behind a cloud.

Mangaia, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b3659.jpg Women's Room, Cook Islands Since there are no hotels for 200 guests on the island, we stayed at the school.

Mangaia, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b3673.jpg Ruin, Cook Islands And another photogenic ruin in Oneroa. Somehow I realize that I only photograph houses.

George, the guide, helps the guests with the not entirely harmless short climb.

Mangaia, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b3748.jpg Cave Entry, Cook Islands The entrance to the cave on Mangaia. I had expected something simpler (off-road for Americans), but was well prepared after my ten-hour Hölloch expedition in 2006. I would have loved to have packed the Karbit helmet lamp. It runs better with it than with an LED flashlight.

Mangaia, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b3776.jpg Sqeeze Through, Cook Islands At one point we had to crawl through a narrow gap on our stomachs. For some it was too much and they stopped. If George, our plump guide, fits through there, it can't be that bad. Mangaia, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b3786.jpg Dripstone Formations, Cook Islands Large stalactite formations in the Mangaia Cave.

Mangaia, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b3803.jpg Bazaar, Cook Islands We came back from the cave tour totally dirty and at school they sold fresh t-shirts with "Eclipse Mangaia" on them. Unfortunately, there were only the sizes XL, XXL and XXXL.

Mangaia, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b3828.jpg Meal, Cook Islands The meal prepared for us. The gray square things on the top left are taro roots and are found everywhere among the Polynesians. They taste so cooked without anything like cardboard with craft glue.

Mangaia, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b3951.jpg Dawn, Cook Islands Preparation for the upcoming total solar eclipse. When we left, the night was still starry. Clouds are gathering now. Mangaia, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b3964.jpg Silverline on Horizon, Cook Islands The cloud cover has become denser. From the solar eclipse only darkness can be felt. http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b3965.jpg Solar Eclipse, Cook Islands Only a few seconds after the totality of the eclipse, a small gap appeared in the three cloud layers and one could catch a glimpse of the wafer-thin crescent of the sun. A small independent group positioned elsewhere on the island, further inland on a hilltop next to the church, could still see the totality phase of the eclipse. Bad luck! Mangaia, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b3976.jpg Solar Eclipse, Cook Islands A little further out in the sea the sun was shining. You could have seen the darkness from there. Also one on a ship between Rarotongan and Mangaia could see the eclipse. We were really unlucky! Mangaia, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b4005.jpg Solar Eclipse, Cook Islands The partial phase after the eclipse. Oh, if only that gap in the clouds had come a few minutes earlier. But I like this photo all the more. Otherwise photos of the partial phase of a solar eclipse look pretty boring. You can also do it in Photoshop. Here's another time-lapse movie of the whole eclipse. Mangaia, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b4011.jpg Church, Cook Islands After the solar eclipse we were allowed to attend a local service. The pastor thanked us on behalf of all residents because without our appearance they would not have known that there would be a solar eclipse that day and what it was. Out of courtesy, I didn't take any photos during the fair. Was special. Rather militaristic. Mangaia, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b4015.jpg Welcome to Mangaia, Cook Islands The children had lovingly decorated the blackboards in the classrooms, which we used as places to sleep.

Mangaia, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b4048.jpg Sunset, Cook Islands Sunset with palm trees. This time without clouds right on the horizon line so you could see the green flash. Unfortunately, I didn't have a tripod and telephoto to hand at the time. But the picture is nice too. Mangaia, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b4066.jpg Air Rarotonga, Cook Islands The Air Rarotonga plane touches down on the runway for its flight home. Mangaia, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b4108.jpg Rarotonga, Cook Islands The island of Rarotonga, main island of the Cook Islands. The mountain top often hangs in a cloud. Rarotonga, Cook Islands http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/cook_islands/image2010b4122.jpg Edgewater Resort, Cook Islands I can't really recommend the largest hotel on the island, the Edgewater Resort. Price/performance not correct.

Maybe 1/2 stop overexpure or more would have been better. 12 January 2002, Fuji Velvia http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/lanzarote/image.200201c.29.jpg Two Palms, Lanzarote, Canary Islands The same two palms on the wineyards of La Geria yet from another point of view.

I saw this effect of light and shadow the day before while I drove up the pass. But it was too late to set up the camera so I came back the next day on time and waited one half hour for this special light which lasts only a few minutes. This is short before the Sun sets in this valley. 13 January 2002, 135mm telephoto lens (image a bit cropped), Fuji Velvia http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/lanzarote/image.200201e.06.jpg Straight Road, Lanzarote, Canary Islands The straight road from from Teguise to San Bartolomé at sunset.

I was just walking from the parking lot along the road with my camera bag and the tripod, when a guard came and threw me out of the park: "No professional photographs!" So, if you ever intend to spend money for this park (there are only tours on a camel's back or in a bus possible) and you want to make pictures then mask yourself as a dumb tourist: Use a cheap plastic APS camera, wear Bermuda shorts, sandals and white socks. 15 January 2002, Fuji Velvia http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/lanzarote/image.200201f.27.jpg Salinas de Janubio, Lanzarote, Canary Islands The salt extraction basins of Salinas de Janubio.

It's sick how whole slopes are completely cut down here, so that the soil is washed out by the rain because it's no longer held together by the roots. The road is buried in numerous places. You could at least leave every second tree standing when cutting down, but that's probably too complicated. It is partly reforested with small trees, but the intervention in the ecosystem is enormous and the same tree species is always planted. You will probably only notice and change it when everything is broken. "Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, but I'm not quite sure about the universe yet."

It was already late and during the crossing with the Philippine outrigger boat it was getting dark and the sun was sinking into the sea. http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/philippines/image2009b3065.jpg Sunset with clouds, Philippines After the long journey our tired eyes were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset at least on the crossing from Batangas to Sabang. http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/philippines/image2009b3075.jpg Boats in the port, Philippines The port of Sabang with the typical Filipino outrigger boats. http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/philippines/image2009b3076.jpg Outrigger Boat, Philippines One of the outrigger boats in Sabang Harbour, used for crossing to Batangas. The outriggers serve as a stabilizer in strong waves. Unlike the Thai dragon boats with the old car engine and hand blender, these boats can go backwards. http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/philippines/image2009b3077.jpg Sabang Harbour, Philippines What the diving tourists notice on the second day at the latest: The harbor of Sabang is also the city's toilet. Not only does the sewage end up untreated in the sea, but people also go into the water and relieve themselves directly there. Accordingly, it also smells when you go diving directly from the beach. http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/philippines/image2009b3078.jpg Sandy beach in Sabang, Philippines The beach in the port of Sabang is not suitable for swimming or snorkeling. Not only because of the shipping traffic, but also because the water smells of faeces. http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/philippines/image2009b3084.jpg Workers in the water, Philippines Three Filipinos work in the water.

Although this is called "the blue hour", it often only lasts a few minutes, depending on latitude and time of year. http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/philippines/image2009b3154.jpg It's getting darker in Sabang, Philippines It's getting dark fast near the equator.

This is the height of human stupidity and short-sightedness. In this way, all tuna are wiped out within a very short time. In addition to all this, the Japanese participate very massively in this, because they have already fished their own seas dry. — Nikon D70, Nikkor AF-S 28-70mm 1:2.8, Tarifa, Spain, August 2005 http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/tarifa/image200508-d70-5319.jpg Fishermen, Tarifa, Spain Fishermen on their boat in Tarifa harbor — Nikon D70, Nikkor AF-S 28-70mm 1:2.8, Tarifa, Strait of Gibraltar, Spain, August 2005 http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/tarifa/image200508-d70-5321.jpg Mediterranean Bay, Tarifa, Spain Sailing ships anchored in the Mediterranean Bay of Tarifa — Nikon D70, Nikkor AF-S 28-70mm 1:2.8, Tarifa, Strait of Gibraltar, Spain, August 2005 http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/tarifa/image200508-d70-5322.jpg Atlantic coast, Tarifa, Spain Tarifa's long Atlantic beach — Nikon D70, Nikkor AF-S 28-70mm 1:2.8, Tarifa, Strait of Gibraltar, Spain, August 2005 http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/tarifa/image200508-d70-5323.jpg Sailboat, Tarifa, Spain A sailing ship anchored in the Mediterranean bay of Tarifa — Nikon D70, Nikkor AF-S 28-70mm 1:2.8, Tarifa, Strait of Gibraltar, Spain, August 2005 http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/tarifa/image200508-d70-5326.jpg El Tarifa Jet, Tarifa, Spain The giant catamaran entering Tarifa harbor — Nikon D70, Nikkor AF-S 28-70mm 1:2.8, Tarifa, Strait of Gibraltar, Spain, August 2005 http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/tarifa/image200508-d70-5336.jpg Engine failure, Tarifa, Spain Well, we were unlucky that day: first an hour and a half late due to engine failure and then we didn't find a single dolphin in the Bay of Algeciras.

The orcas come to the Strait of Giraltar every year from July to August, because that is when the fishermen of Spain and Morocco catch the tuna swimming out of the Mediterranean Sea with long fishing lines. The animals have noticed that someone else is doing the tedious work of catching them for them. In addition, tuna are usually too quick for the orcas. They wait for the tuna to bite, tire and be pulled up by the fishermen before nibbling them off the line in a flash. They knowingly leave the heads with the fishing hooks behind. — Strait of Gibraltar http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/tarifa/image2006-d200-3263.jpg Baby Orca, Tarifa, Spain A baby orca jumps out of the water.

Then the race with the orcas begins. Who gets the fish first? The orcas or the fishermen? It's understandable that the fishermen are angry with the orcas, especially since this type of fishing does not threaten the tuna population ... in contrast to the "Armadraba", the huge fishing labyrinth of nets in spring. The Spanish fishermen, on behalf of the Japanese, catch the tuna in bulk before they can swim to the Mediterranean Sea to spawn. — Strait of Gibraltar http://www.nies.ch/gal/world/tarifa/image2006-d200-3294.jpg Moroccan fishermen, Tarifa, Spain Moroccan fishermen on their small nutshell in the middle of the sea.

Even 1/2000 second exposure time is too long to make the wings visible. Maybe try using a flash next time. http://www.nies.ch/gal/switzerland/ag/image2011-d3-6656.jpg Dew Drop, Aargau A drop of morning dew has been accumulated on the tip of a blade of grass over night.

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. http://www.nies.ch/gal/switzerland/ag/web20180427-d3-7951.jpg Swan Cleaning, Aargau One of the tree swans on the river Aare near Vogelsang AG.

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. http://www.nies.ch/gal/switzerland/ag/web20180510-d3-8370.jpg Waterfall Linn, Aargau The upper one of the waterfalls near Linn.

Air field Triengen was covered by a thick layer of clouds. We flew underneath it until we found a blue hole above Lake Sempach and then climbed above the clouds. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1515.jpg Fog sea, Flight Triengen — Samedan Aerial view of the fog sea. Fog is most pretty when seen from above. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1516.jpg Fog sea border, Flight Triengen — Samedan The first hills are rising above the fog sea. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1518.jpg Flying above fog, Flight Triengen — Samedan Flying above the fog sea and passing by Mount Pilatus nearby Lucerne. Unfortunately there is a reflex in the sky because I didn't took that picture through the small ventilation opening in the cabin door's window. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1520.jpg Fog is thinning, Flight Triengen — Samedan The fog is getting thinner. The river Engelberger Aa is shining through the haze like a line of silver. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1523.jpg Mount Pilatus, Flight Triengen — Samedan Lucerne's "own" mountain is the Pilatus. It rises above the fog sea while we were flying by. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1527.jpg Mountains in winter, Flight Triengen — Samedan Flying over the mountains of the snowy Swiss Alps in winter is just beautiful, especially when there's fog in the flat lowlands. The air above is then even clearer. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1528.jpg Fog line, Flight Triengen — Samedan The fog line divides wet, cold and dull winter depressions and happy, sunny winter days. The small village on the right edge of the picture is called Rinderbühl and the few houses on the border of the woods below is Rotifluh. Both lie above Emmeten on Mount Schattigenstock. The small valley behind is called Gorneren with the Choltalback brook. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1530.jpg Mountains in the mist, Flight Triengen — Samedan View towards the hazy Reuss valley of canton Uri.

The bright spot in the middle is a reflection of the Sun on ice crytals in the air. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1548.jpg Lenticular clouds 1, Flight Triengen — Samedan People wearing aluminum foil hats may say that these are carmouflaged UFO's, but in reality those are lenticular clouds above a mountain summit. These clouds are formed by wet air pushed across a mountain so that they cool and water condenses. On the other side the air warms up again and the water drops evaporate again. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1550.jpg Lenticular clouds 2, Flight Triengen — Samedan Not UFO's but lenticular clouds above another layer of clouds. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1556.jpg Moon above lenticular clouds, Flight Triengen — Samedan The waxing half moon is visible above the lenticular clouds. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1564.jpg Clouds above mountains, Flight Triengen — Samedan Aerial view of the Swiss Alps mountain ridges.

Towards the flatlands the cloud cover is getting thicker, because in the land of the two ibexes Gian and Giachen the sun is always shining. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1576.jpg Flying above Swiss Alps, Flight Triengen — Samedan It's reat to fly over the Swiss Alps with a small airplane, very close to the mountains. Unfortunately there are some reflexes again on the cabin window. An airplane without windows would be best for taking pictures, but it also would be very cold, windy and noisy. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1578.jpg Lake Zervfreila, Flight Triengen — Samedan The small green reservoir Lake Zervfreila above the village Vals. It's not frozen, because it's probably a pump reservoir and the water is heated up when filling the reservoir. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1582.jpg Mountains with cloud strip, Flight Triengen — Samedan Grison mountains somewhere between Vals and Samedan, enclosed by a thin layer of clouds. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1591.jpg Mountain ridges, Flight Triengen — Samedan Ridges of snowy Grison mountains in light and shadow, somewhere between Vals and Samedan. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1593.jpg Mountains in twilight, Flight Triengen — Samedan Tricks of light and shadow on the snowy mountains of the Swiss Alps. Much more interesting to photograph than boring blue sky. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1595.jpg Upper Engadin, Flight Triengen — Samedan Flight across upper Engadin with the villages Celerina (foreground) and Samedan with airport runway. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1638.jpg Martial, Flight Triengen — Samedan Our passionate pilot. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1679.jpg Celerina, Flight Triengen — Samedan The village Celeraina in upper Engadin.

The low winter sun is casting long shadows on the snow covered slopes. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1696.jpg Mountains with ski lifts, Flight Triengen — Samedan Lifts in the skiing area above St. Moritz. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1708.jpg Glory with airplane shadow, Flight Triengen — Samedan The shadow of the airplane on a layer of clouds. The colorful glory around the shadow is cased by the diffraction of light in small water drops, similar to a rainbow. I've enhanced saturation and contrast a bit to make te colours more distinct. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1715.jpg Sunlight and clouds, Flight Triengen — Samedan A loose layer of clouds is covering the snowy mountains and creating patterns of light and shadows. The valley on the lower left corner is the Julia valley, also called Surses. The river Julia (rom. Gelgia) flows from Julier pass through Lake Marmorera. The small village at the bottom is called Rona, behind that lies Tinizong. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1730.jpg Glory on cloud cover, Flight Triengen — Samedan The shadow of the airplane on a layer of clouds. The colorful glory around the shadow is cased by the diffraction of light in small water drops, similar to a rainbow. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1736.jpg Cloud gap, Flight Triengen — Samedan A thin gap in the clouds reveals a mountain ridge. These are probably Grap La Pala, Piz Scalottas and Piz Danis with the Lenzerheide right of it. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1742.jpg Mountain summits with snow, Flight Triengen — Samedan The snow covered mountains in the foreground must be from left to right: Furggabüel (2173m), Fulhorn (2528m) and Fulenberg (2575m). Behind those one can see the Rhein valley. Chur is hidden behind the mountains. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1746.jpg Mountain summits with clouds, Flight Triengen — Samedan That's most likely the mountain chain with Grison Tödi, Piz Durschin (left) towards Piz d'Artgas (right). In front is the Frisal valley with the brook Flem above the village Brigels. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1749.jpg Mountains in evening light, Flight Triengen — Samedan If I'm not mistaken, thats the Glarner Tödi as seen from the Grison side. It's summit is currently surrounded by clouds. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1750.jpg Tödi with Clouds, Flight Triengen — Samedan Yep, the famous Glarner Tödi seen from the Grison side from the Surselva valley. The summit is covered with clouds so it doesn't glow in the light of the setting evening sun. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1757.jpg Mount Tödi, Flight Triengen — Samedan And again Mount Tödi (on the right hand side). The clouds have been blown away a bit and the western slope is glowing in the light of the setting sun. Behind it in the twilight one can see the snow field of the glacier Hüfifirn. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1758.jpg Tödi in evening light, Flight Triengen — Samedan Yet again Mount Tödi covered by snow and glowing in the light of the setting sun. Luckily there's Google Earth with 3D profile. That helps a lot identifying mountains even years after taking the picture. This is howTödi in the morning looks like from the other side from canton Glarus. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1763.jpg Mount Düssi, Flight Triengen — Samedan According to my Google Earth research this must be Mount Düssi (3256m). Pretty how it looks in the light of the evening sun. We flew from Surselva valley into the Urner valley. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1768.jpg Rigi above fog sea, Flight Triengen — Samedan The summit of Mount rigi, queen of the mountains, is peeping out of the fog sea. All the way back on the horizon is the cloud factory, aka nuclear power plant Gösgen. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1771.jpg Great Windgällen, Flight Triengen — Samedan That mountain is most likely Mount Great Windgällen. The Google Earth 3D rendering is not 100% accurate. Looks a little bitt different. But there's no other mountain summit around that matches more. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1774.jpg Urner Alps in evening light, Flight Triengen — Samedan Also here not 100% sure. The snow field is most likely called Höchpfaffen and right of it Schächentaler Windgallen. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1788.jpg Rossstock and Fulen, Flight Triengen — Samedan The two rocky mountain tops rising above the snow are called Rossstock (left) and Fulen (right). http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1791.jpg Chaiserstrock, Flight Triengen — Samedan This prominent mountain chain is Chaiserstock, Chronenstock and Blüemberg. It looks pretty in the light of the setting sun. Behind the fog sea of the Swiss lowlands is visible. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1798.jpg Rigi with fog border, Flight Triengen — Samedan Mount Rigi, queen of the mountains, is rising above the fog sea covering Lake Lucerne and whole Swiss lowland.

On their feet lies the capital of canton Schwyz, the small city Schwyz. The setting sun is shining low on the clouds of the fog sea. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1812.jpg Mount Fronalpstock, Flight Triengen — Samedan This mountain glowing beautifully in the evening sun is Mount Mount Fronalpstock on the shore of Lake Uri. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1819.jpg Evening shadows above fog sea, Flight Triengen — Samedan The setting sun is casting long shadows on the fog sea. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1837.jpg Edge of fog sea, Flight Triengen — Samedan Here on the edge of the fog sea, it really looks like houses on a beach. With the low light the clouds of the fog sea look threedimensional. http://www.nies.ch/gal/aerial/2009-01-04/image2009a1839.jpg Rigi Scheidegg, Flight Triengen — Samedan This is one of Mount Rigi's summits, Rigi Scheidegg.

Both species were introduced. The crayfish from North America and the zebra mussel from the Black Sea. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/aare/image2009a4740.jpg Pike on sand, Aare River A northern pike (Esox lucius) laying on the sandy floor taking a nap until I woke it up with my camera flash. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/aare/image2009a4745.jpg Pike on algae, Aare River Yet another pike (Esox lucius) lying on a bunch of algae. Or is it the same as from the previous picture? I don't remember. Can you see the little fish in the background hiding from its predator? http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/aare/image2009a4751.jpg Pike and perch, Aare River The northern pike (Esox lucius) eye in eye with an european perch (Perca fuviatilis). Probably both were blinded by my light and the pike didn't see the perch. Or the pike was sleeping. At least it is possible to take pictures of a pike during night. At day they are usually too shy. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/aare/image2009a4755.jpg Small fishes, Aare River Small fishes and a strobe reflex in the upper left corner. Next time I have to position it further back. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/aare/image2009a4768.jpg Crayfish and Diver, Aare River A small crayfish (Orsonectes limosus) and a big diver with flashlight in the background. After I zoomed out to take another picture, both were already gone. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/aare/web20130908-d200a-5198.jpg Pike, Aare River A northern pike (Esox lucius) just woke up after taking. The small pikes are not as shy as the big ones ... or the brave ones never get that old. That picture is much better than the previous ones in this album four years ago. Isn't it? It's made with the same camera and lens but two smaller strobes than one big. They can be better aligned and illuminate less backscatter. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/aare/web20130908-d200a-5201.jpg Pike, Aare River The same northern pike (Esox lucius). It was remarkably patient and allowed taking multiple pictures. Usually they are gone after just one shot and leave only a dust cloud. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/aare/web20131004-d200a-5217.jpg Crayfish, Aare River Crayfish (Orsonectes limosus) http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/aare/web20131004-d200a-5227.jpg Catfish 1, Aare River Catfish ( Silurus glanis) http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/aare/web20131004-d200a-5228.jpg Catfish 2, Aare River Catfish (Silurus glanis) http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/aare/web20131004-d200a-5230.jpg Barbel, Aare River Barbel alte (Barbus barbus) with deformated back. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/aare/web20131004-d200a-5235.jpg Perch, Aare River A european perch is lying on the sand dunes at the bottom of river Aare. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/aare/web20131004-d200a-5237.jpg Pike on Sand 1, Aare River Northern pike (Esox lucius) taking a nap on the sandy river ground. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/aare/web20131004-d200a-5239.jpg Pike on Sand 2, Aare River Northern pike (Esox lucius) on sand ground. I couldn't get a picture from the front. The pike was already gone after this picture. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/aare/web20131004-d200a-5244.jpg European crayfish, Aare River At last a european crayfish (Astacus astacus)! They have become very rare. Unfortunately they are going to be replaced by the american crayfish. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/aare/web20131004-d200a-5248.jpg Perch, Aare River European perch (Perca fuviatilis) lying on sandy bottom. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/aare/web20131004-d200a-5249.jpg Perch on Algae, Aare River A european perch (Perca fuviatilis) lying on the ground with a bunch of algae. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/aare/web20180504-d200a-6181.jpg Clamshells, Aare River Two empty clamshells.

The ground is covered with gravel to reduce the amount of sediments that are being raised. These could cover the fragile water plants. Due to the cold water it may take up to ten years for them to recover. — Nikon D200, Nikkor AF-S 10.5mm f/2.8 Fisheye, 2 x Sea & Sea YS-110α strobes, Lake Samaranger, Austria, 10 August 2013 http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/samarangersee/web20130810-d200a-4668.jpg Diver with Fisheye, Lake Samaranger When diving in the icy cold and crystal clear water one gets the feeling of floating with zero gravity through open space.

I had to hold my breath long enough so sthat the water surface did not get disturbed by my bubbles. The plate reads: "In memory of our diving experiences together.

It's the same tree as on the first picture in this album. Here the sun was shining and I tried to position the vertical branch right in front of the sun. The water was crystal clear, the surface smooth and calm. I had to hold my breath long enough until all bubbles disappeared.

Dive #403: Namena NST, Fiji. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/fiji/web2010-d200a-09499.jpg Fish Factory, Fiji This dive site was called "fish factory". A more suitable name would be "the fish have gon e to factory" because there were almost no fish here. The current was very strong here. It was like riding on a train and looking out the window. Dive #404: Fish Factory, Fiji. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/fiji/web2010-d200a-09511.jpg Corals, Fiji The current on this dive site was so strong that I hardly could point my camera on this coral. It almost blew the mask off the face. Dive #404: Fish Factory, Fiji. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/fiji/web2010-d200a-09519.jpg Bluespotted Stingray, Fiji Where is the bluespotted stingray? It was hiding under a table coral and being photographed by this diver. I had no chance to get there. The current was too strong. Dive #404: Fish Factory, Fiji. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/fiji/web2010-d200a-09522.jpg Coral Block, Fiji I didn't have much time for taking pictures on this dive site because the current was that strong. After all, this site wasn't very special either. Despite the strong current there were very few fish.

It looked like the desert in texas. Probably in texas there were more fish. The reef was pretty damaged, mostly due to the cyclone in january 2010 and probably overfishing. Dive #406: Texas Reef, Fiji. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/fiji/web2010-d200a-09539.jpg Sandra, Fiji My dive buddy girlfriend wife Sandra ... there wasnät much more to photograph on this site.

Unfortunately one of these nasty transparent worms was dancing on its head and I didn't see it only later on the computer screen. That's why one should take always more than one picture of the same target.

Sit down, hold on tight, stay calm and watch the fish coming to you. This saves a lot of air and one sees much more. My wife took this advice literally and is sitting there like a steam locomotive. Dive #419: Namena NST, Fiji http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/fiji/web2010-d200a-10095.jpg Cleaning Shrimp, Fiji My cleaning shrimp is sitting on the sand and enjoying the fish which are getting very close. What most dive beginners don't know: You can't swim after fish. They come to you when you are staying quietly on the same position. Dive #419: Namena NST, Fiji http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/fiji/web2010-d200a-10109.jpg Barracudas, Fiji A swarm of barracudas passing by. Some of them are overexposed. It is difficult to set the correct amount of flash for these silver fish. It's usually a lucky guess because one usually has just one chance. After the first shot the formation usually breaks up. Dive #419: Namena NST, Fiji http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/fiji/web2010-d200a-10116.jpg Fish Swarm, Fiji A big swarm of fish is passing by. I think it were jackfish.

Dive #420: Mushrooms, Fiji. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/fiji/web2010-d200a-10153.jpg Scorpionfish, Fiji A scorpionfish is sitting well carmouflaged on the ground.

Unfortunately it wasn't very close so that the colour saturation would have been better. I had to adjust saturation, colour balance and contrast in this picture. See here. Dive #421: Nigali Passage, Fiji. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/fiji/web2010-d200a-10287.jpg Grey Reef Sharks, Fiji These two grey reef sharks seemed not to have any interest in the divers below them.

Unfortunately it was too far away for a good exposed picture and appears cyan instead of grey. Even with 24mm focal lenght at APS size chip the sharks have to get very close to fill the frame. Dive #421: Nigali Passage, Fiji. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/fiji/web2010-d200a-10332.jpg Fish Swarm, Fiji This big fish swarm stood in the current and was compact.

Dive #421: Nigali Passage, Fiji. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/fiji/web2010-d200a-10378.jpg Yellow Scroll Coral with Sun, Fiji At first glance, salad corals look like they are soft, but they hare hard corals with embedded green algae. This is one of my favourite pictures. I had to hold myself on a rock, otherwise the current would have pushed me towards the corals.

Unfortunately it is only an unsharp snapshot. It didn't have interest in us. I found this whale as a black blinking dot on the horizon while I was on the ship's deck. This was the first whale I have found. Dive #421: Nigali Passage, Fiji. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/fiji/web2010-d200a-10418.jpg Humpback whale, Fiji The world is upside down on this humpback whale picture.

Dive #421: Nigali Passage, Fiji. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/fiji/web2010-d200a-10481.jpg False cleanerfish, Fiji This s a false cleanerfish (Aspidontus taeniatus) which looks similar to the real cleanerfish (Labroides dimidiatus), but instead of cleaning the fish from parasites, it bites off a bit of the fish itself. Dive #422: Anthias, Fiji. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/fiji/web2010-d200a-10503.jpg Fire Dartfish, Fiji I had to wait patiently for these two fire dartfish (lat.

Unfortunately one of the antennas and the gills are not very sharp. F-stop 16 seems not enough depth of field, maybe f/32 would be better for the 105mm macro lens.

That was the last one before the flash started getting crazy and I noticed water in the camera case. At the end of the dive there was about a mug full of water inside. Luckily I had the dome port and fisheye lens, so there was enough space around the camera. Only the TTL converter electronics got damaged. Camera and lens were dry and survived. In the meantime I have removed the TTL converter entirely and used only the tree pins (trigger, ready, ground) from the flash. TTL never worked reliably because neither on the camera nor on the strobe the +/- intensity could be adjusted. — Nikon D200, Daedalus Reef, Red Sea, 15 November 2011 http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea11/image2011-d200a-1776.jpg Anemone City, Brothers/Daedalus, Egypt A city full of anemones on the daedalus reef.

On the water surface there is our safari boat covering the sun. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140531-d200a-5525.jpg Anemone with Diver, South Tour, Egypt Clownfish are protecting their anemone. I had to get very close with my fisheye lens to the anemone which made the clownfish even more nervous. In the background is my dive buddy and are bubbles from some other divers. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140531-d200a-5527.jpg Coral Reef with Anthias, South Tour, Egypt Here's a nice reef wall with many soft corals and orange anthias hiding between them. The view upwards shows the sun and the pattern of the waves on the water surface. Hold your breath and all fish are coming back. One short flash and all are gone again. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140531-d200a-5537.jpg Coral Block with Sun, South Tour, Egypt And another rock full of soft and hard corals with many orange anthias. Usually I shoot with 1/250s exposure and use the f-stop for choosing the brightness of the water surface and the sun. The intensity of flash determines the brightness of the foreground. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140531-d200a-5542.jpg Softcoral under Rock, South Tour, Egypt A softcoral growing top to bottom underneath a rock. It looked more interesting live than on the picture though. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140531-d200a-5544.jpg Coralblock in Backlight, South Tour, Egypt And another block of corals in backlight with the sun. I probably should have repositioned the strobes to the left and right when shooting in portrait mode. There's a long shadow across the coral and it's illuminated from below. So many things to think about when underwater. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140531-d200a-5553.jpg i-Pix iPhone 5s Underwaterhosung, South Tour, Egypt The i-Pix underwater housing for the iPhone 5s is really 100 percent waterproof. Once the water comes in, it never gets out. The O-ring was squeezed unevenly. Things that one should never doo nr. 13421: Buy an underwater housing that is cheaper than it's content. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140531-d200a-5559.jpg Diver with Napoleon, South Tour, Egypt This napoleon wrasse is obviously trying to escape from the divers here. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140531-d200a-5563.jpg Sea Turtle, South Tour, Egypt This sea turtle seemed to show interest in the reflection of itself in the camera's dome port. Unfortunately it didn't want to position itself so that I could shoot it in front of blue background. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140531-d200a-5573.jpg White Scorpionfish, South Tour, Egypt A white scorpionfish is lying on a small stone coral on a steep wall. I better should have positioned both strobes to the right side. The light is on the top and bottom of the image and the scorpionfish lies in the shadow. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140531-d200a-5644.jpg Small Sorpionfish, South Tour, Egypt A small scorpionfish is sitting on the sandy ground.

It is probably the juvenile form. But I don't know which kind. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140602-d200a-5713.jpg Hawkfish, South Tour, Egypt A hawkfish is sitting on top of a coral and is guarding it. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140602-d200a-5720.jpg Seastar, South Tour, Egypt A red seastar on a yellow stone coral. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140602-d200a-5726.jpg Fish in Coral, South Tour, Egypt A fish is hiding in the branches of a stone coral. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140602-d200a-5730.jpg Shipwreck with Divers, South Tour, Egypt The wreck of a small sailing boat at dive site Abu Galawa Soghayr.

My buddy and me stayed at the wreck while the oders took a tour against the current around the reef. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140602-d200a-5741.jpg Shipwreck Stern, South Tour, Egypt The wreck of a small sailing boat at dive site Abu Galawa Soghayr. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140602-d200a-5747.jpg Glassfish in Wreck, South Tour, Egypt The interiour of this small sailing boat was too small for a diver. It also didn't appear to be very stable as it was shaken a bit by the surf. A swarm of glassfish is hiding inside. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140602-d200a-5760.jpg Canyon, South Tour, Egypt A canyon made by stone corals. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140602-d200a-5764.jpg Firecoral, South Tour, Egypt Another boring picture of a firecoral. At least there are a few small fish on it. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140602-d200a-5773.jpg Diver with Wreck, South Tour, Egypt My dive buddy and me are enjoying a quiet dive at this wreck. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140602-d200a-5788.jpg Four Divers, South Tour, Egypt Four divers are swimming through the reef. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140602-d200a-5789.jpg Kissing Divers, South Tour, Egypt A diving couple is kissing each other. http://www.nies.ch/gal/diving/redsea14/web20140602-d200a-5796.jpg Firecoral with Butterflyfish, South Tour, Egypt And again a firecoral. This time with two yellow butterflyfish. It's a crop. The picture was shot freehand but the diver I wanted to shoot was partly out of the frame.

November 2009 http://www.nies.ch/gal/misc/uw-makingof-redsea01.jpg Making of 'Hi President Skroob', Miscellaneous Here my dive buddy made a picture of me right in the same moment as I was taking this shot. Photo on the left © Mr. P. http://www.nies.ch/gal/misc/uw-makingof-redsea02.jpg Making of 'Anemone with Anemone Fish', Miscellaneous This 'making of' combination could explain why on my picture on the top the corals on the right hand side are brighter than the rest of the image. My dive buddy with his optical slave strobes was right at that place when I made a picture. Or I should have reduced the intensity of my right strobe because it was closer to the corals. I don't remember. http://www.nies.ch/gal/misc/uw-makingof-redsea03.jpg Making of 'Korallenblock', Miscellaneous Both pictures were made at the same time with different cameras and settings. The picture on the left is from my dive buddy with his compact camera, no flash and automatich exposure settings. My coral photo on the right is made with my Nikon D200 and every setting manual: shutter 1/250s, f-stop closed until the sun doesn't get too much overexposed and both strobes full on to brighte up the foreground and get the intense colour. The water gets the deepest blue if it is underexposed with about a half or one f-stop. Photo on the left © Mr. P. http://www.nies.ch/gal/misc/uw-makingof-sabang01.jpg Making of 'Sea Stars', Miscellaneous In the shallow bay of Sabang in the Philippines I found a place with lots of sea stars. I gently put them to an arrangment for a picture. Unfortunately I didn't see the shadow of a boat in the background behind the beams of the sun. I could retouch the photo to remove a diver and a rope in the background but I never managed removing the ship shadow. Photo below © Mr. P. http://www.nies.ch/gal/misc/uw-makingof-samaranger01.jpg Making of 'Samaranger Cross, Miscellaneous My dive buddy was behind me and shot this picture in the same moment when I was taking a shot of the famous cross in Lake Samaranger. Does anyone know the story behind this cross? Photo below © Mr. P. http://www.nies.ch/gal/misc/uw-makingof-wels01.jpg Making of Catfish in Rhine, Miscellaneous 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. http://www.nies.ch/gal/misc/uw-photoshop-freshwater01.jpg Snail before/after, Miscellaneous A snail on a water plant in Lake Lucern. Because the visibility was bad there was a lot of backscatter. With Photoshop healing brush and clone tool I removed the spots. Afterwards I adjusted contrast and black point (circle around snail). See the processed image here. http://www.nies.ch/gal/misc/uw-photoshop-freshwater02.jpg Perch before/after, Miscellaneous A perch looked into the camera while taking this shot in bad visibility. Left original image, right with enhanced contrast and colours. I wish there was such a filter for my diving mask. http://www.nies.ch/gal/misc/uw-photoshop-freshwater03.jpg Perches before/after, Miscellaneous Yet another series that shows how a low contrast raw image can be enhanced. With raw pictures one has 16 bit (65536) grey levels for each colour channel (red, green, blue). In JPEG there are only 256. http://www.nies.ch/gal/misc/uw-photoshop-freshwater04.jpg Hommingberg Gepard Trout, Miscellaneous A Hommingberg Gepard Trout, because someone from Fotocommunity wanted a fish there. I copied this leopard shark into that picture of Maggia. http://www.nies.ch/gal/misc/uw-photoshop-freshwater05.jpg Sunfish before/after, Miscellaneous During a night dive I made this shot of a sunfish in bad visibility using a 105mm macro lens and a distance of about 1m. That's why the original image has almost no colours and very little contrast. By enhancing the contrast one can recognize blue fins, which isn't probably the real colour. http://www.nies.ch/gal/misc/uw-photoshop-saltwater01.jpg Jellyfish before/after, Miscellaneous How can one make a crappy picture better? With a lot of work. The original was made with a Nikon Coolpix 990 and was cropped. The resolution is about 1:1. That time I didn't shoot raw yet. Memory cards were expensive that time. And cameras were slow. http://www.nies.ch/gal/misc/uw-photoshop-saltwater02.jpg Anemone before/after, Miscellaneous On the dive safari in September 2011 in the Red Sea my TTL flash electronics got damaged due to water leaking into the underwater case. Luckily the camera and lens survived. But for the rest of the safari I couldn't use the flash anymore. On this picture I cut the anemone in the foreground, made white balance on it separately and processed the background to be darker and more blue. With a flash this image would have looked more or less like this. http://www.nies.ch/gal/misc/uw-photoshop-saltwater03.jpg Napoleon before/after, Miscellaneous 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. http://www.nies.ch/gal/misc/uw-photoshop-saltwater04.jpg Shark Picture before/after, Miscellaneous On this picture the shark was too far away so that the flash wasn't strong enough to get the colours. The light has to travel the distance from strobe to fish twice. That's why the shark is cyan and not grey as it should be. With a larger f-stop the sun would have been too bright. With Photoshop camera raw I made a white balance on the shark and enhanced contrast. The colour space of raw images is much higher than non normal JPEG. This is not cheating. A digital raw image is like a classic negative where you can process the colours and contrast while developing positive paper prints. http://www.nies.ch/gal/misc/uw-photoshop-saltwater05.jpg Barracudas before/after, Miscellaneous At last a nice barracuda swarm but the flash did not work because the TTL electronics got damaged during an earlier dive. The image was cropped, contrast enhanced and reef ground retouched. http://www.nies.ch/gal/misc/index.en.php/image.200111d.23 http://www.nies.ch/gal/misc/index.en.php/image200412-d70-1343
