Just finished the blog post about my recent photos before getting into the #photos of today's hike.
I REALLY wanted to avoid enlarging my backlog as I know it always adds a subtle little stress to me. And stress must be avoided. Especially as it isn't even a long post. But I'm proud enough of the photos to blog about them! 🙂
Anyways. I hope you enjoy the read!

A Relaxing Sunday Walk with Unexpected Surprises
On a Sunday filled with mixed weather forecasts, my wife and I decided to take a relaxing walk around a nearby village. Despite our low expectations, we stumbled upon some unexpected photo opportunities, capturing a charming chapel and a magnificent tree. Here’s a recount of our surprising and rewar

Okay, as I just started posting the #photos of this hike, so I decided to write the blogpost for it as well. - I'll continue posting the photos separately as well the next days.
Enjoy! Especially if you've never seen Sahara Dust being blown over thousands of kilometers over the alps, creating a very special mood.
That happens once all ... couple of years. It's really ... d…

Went to visit with the family, we went to Birdland in Bourton On The Water in the Costswolds.
Met these beautiful bird friends.
These are apparently basically the only Emperor Penguins in England, and they are old and mostly related so breeding is tricky.
Who knew a penguin would live 40 years eh?
They tell me one of them was a Hollywood star in the batman movie but they all look pretty much the same so not sure if it was the ones in shot or not.

Hey friends!
I finished the #photos from last weekend. This is directly from the start. And I admit, I had a pretty WOW feeling.
I'm not 100% satisfied as I wanted even more blur in the front. But still it's been one of the greatest views at the start of a hike I ever had.
Enjoy!

Good evening friends! Mrs. Graf is a bit sick today, so we just did an evening walk around the village after a rainy day.
It was good to get out a bit and enjoy the late light. And well - I guess I never shared some #photos of the closer area I'm living in (like the houses), I thought I might send some.
It isn't our house btw, just a beautiful one in the village to give you an…

Damn it is scary when the #PhotosApp on my #iOS iPad now for some reason says “restoring from iCloud” instead of simply “syncing”. But it isn’t losing anything, right? Right?
But as far as I see in my iPhone, all the photos and videos that I imported from my drone SD card on the iPad yesterday…

Recently I ordered postcards from one of my #snow #photos to see how they look.
Well - I had 20 postcards then! I randomly grabbed people from my address book and sent them a card with a little personal message.
And as no one expects postcards nowadays (at least here), people were really sur…

Hey friends, this is one of the #photos with quite some emotions connected. A quick hike that I extended and got super views.
But I was a little unrelated as I knew that I should back down before diving into the shade.
Oh I even blogged about it a while ago!!

A Mid-November Sunday Adventure
A spontaneous Sunday unfolded into a picturesque adventure of biking and hiking. The crisp mid-November air led me to a summit, a hidden meadow bathed in sunshine and tranquility. It felt like a moment frozen in time, urging me to extend the journey and embrace the unexpected beauty of the day.

One of the photos from our hike through the #gleirschklamm near #Scharnitz . I finalized the #photos already - yet I'm struggling a bit with video-or-not.
Anyways, I like how the stream…

I start to realise that I'm loosing the interest of #photos without a context.
It came to my mind when I was scrolling through the feed and wondered why I start to appreciate photos more even if they have lower quality than others.
Maybe it's the inflationary amount of photos I'm confronted with? But without context, these photos degrade to "just pixels". Context…

Here are the best three #photos of my #wildlife encounter last year.
These Chamois were resting alsmost on the trail so that I literally ran into them as I was looking for them FAR higher up the mountain. I'd just be a very bad hunter 😀 Good that I wasn't looking for bears!

Hey friends, the weather today was awful. Great for processing photos!
That was an icy adventure in January!
Below -16°C! I don't know if I ever was out just to take #photos at such low temperatures. The gear was also a little bit frozen.
Unfortunately, I didn't get the photo that I was aiming for 🙁 but I got some others that I neither planned nor expected.
Well, I …

Hi friends!
The last two #photos from my photowalk in January! I rarely do macros but that day I wasn't out for hiking but really for #photography. So I thought, I could also step down into the frozen stream, take some time and look for tiny structures.
Needless to say that I was…

A Frozen Day: Capturing the Chill Through the Lens

After posting a couple of #photos already, I decided to write a blogpost for this chill day in January. - yeah I know - I should write the post upfront and add the link to all the posts - well. I'm a really good marketeer. 😉

Hey friends, just saw the #FotoVorschlag "tief im Wald" /Deep in the Forest - and thought this one might be a fit.
It was one of the first #photos with the new Sony camera and a day where we had the first snow.
Well - I wanted to capture a dark mood and I think it worked. …

Winter is over - time to get rid of some of my #winter #photos on FineArtAmerica and change into a more summer style.
If you're interested in a print or anything from THIS photo - better be quick. I'll remove it soon.

A Relaxing Hike Through Nature's Details
After a demanding weekend of mountain biking and hiking, we opted for a more leisurely hike on Monday. Despite initial plans for a small mountain, we changed our route last minute, leading to an unexpectedly beautiful and detailed exploration of nature, filled with macro photography and a touch of a

The order is placed! This is one of my wife's most favourite #photos from #Ireland. I now ordered it as a 50x75cm matt poster (and will have to cut it into 50x70cm so that it fits into the frame that we already have).
I also ordered it as a 20x30cm Hahnemühle HQ paper print.

A Four-Summits day in the Ammergauer Alps
On a sunny Sunday, we embarked on a hike in the Ammergauer Alps, tackling the Three "Hörnle"s and "Stierkopf". Despite a late start and feeling under the weather, we enjoyed spectacular views and a memorable adventure across four summits. The hike was a perfect reminder of the beauty of these mounta
