Norway - Twilight zone (part 1)
Here I write in loose sequence and also not in the correct chronological order about our trip with an expedition ship from Hamburg to the arctic North Cape, along the old postal route of Norway.
Gian Rupf - Swiss actor and filmmaker
I already took a photographic portrait of Gian in the snowy mountains of Prättigau in January 2001. This October we used the urban Landquart as a backdrop. Gian grew up in Landquart - a love-and-hate relationship that is not reflected in the photos. A sign of reconciliation, Gian?
Lago di braies - is the hype justified?
On social channels, the lake has been enormously hyped for some time. On Instagram & Co. you can find thousands of photos of the Pragser Wildsee with the very special color of the water. Admittedly, I also got involved and visited the lake twice at the end of September and beginning of October 2022.
Dolomites - the beauty of a rough landscape
Rough mountains and spectacular rock formations - this is how the Dolomites present themselves, a mountain range in the Southern Limestone Alps that was formed more than 200 million years ago.
Landwasser Viaduct - built in 1901 - still an architectural masterpiece!
A must for all railway enthusiasts - beauty and boldness combined. With its 65m high piers tapering upwards, the landwasser viaduct is one of the most elegant bridge constructions in Graubünden and the most photographed work of art of the Rhaetian Railway in Switzerland.
Reflections - Lake Partnun
Lake Partnun is a mountain lake in the Partnun area north-northeast of St. Antönien in the municipality of Luzein of the Prättigau-Davos district in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland. It is located in the Rätikon at an altitude of 1868 m above sea level slightly south of the border with Vorarlberg.
Okonjima - Home of the AfriCat Foundation Namibia
For generations, the Hanssen Family had been avid cattle farmers until the need for solutions to increasing livestock losses and post-independence interest in Namibia as a tourist destination, changed the face of Okonjima, as well as that of Carnivore Conservation.
One Lens - One Week: Fujinon GF 80mm f/1.7 R WR
Last year I bought some lenses with fixed focal lengths, which in my opinion are currently among the best lenses on the market. They are lenses that all create a special character in the image resolution and color rendering and are also fun to photograph with. At the beginning of the year 2022, I have therefore set myself a challenge.

The Crop Master - a tribute to the Fujifilm GFX50R
As announced in the last blog entry I have ordered the GFX100S, which will hopefully be delivered at the beginning of March. I've been working with the GFX50R for over two years - now the GFX50R has found a new happy owner. Time for a tribute to the medium format Crop Master.
All In - Fujifilm GFX100S
When Fujifilm presented the brand new Fujifilm GFX100S medium format camera at the online press conference on 27 January 2021, it was clear to me that I would be following an all-in strategy with Fujifilm Medium Format in the future.
The revelation - Fujinon GF110mm f/2.0
Fujifilm has revolutionised the medium format. There is no other brand that offers a similar range at the price level of a high-end full-frame camera. While Hasselblad, Phase One and Leica still offer medium format cameras at astronomical prices, Fujifilm recognized the signs of the times - medium format suitable for the masses - attractive in terms of quality and price.

And in between is the lake
Tonight with the last evening sun, the view was once again directed towards the castle of Rapperswil and its surroundings.
