cold as ice
The morning was clear and cold (the thermometer at the location showed -22°C), and I was hoping for perfect conditions, as there is often a bit of fog at this location and at these temperatures the trees are white with hoar frost. But when I drove onto the highway, I could already see a thick bank of high fog in the direction of travel - I wanted the fog below and not above! Fortunately, shortly before Füssen it became clear that this high fog did not quite reach the mountains. Nevertheless, when I arrived, the entire sky over the church was gray, the mountains could not be seen, but at exactly the right time the clouds of fog cleared and gave a view of the mountain tops.
Nevertheless, a little ground fog would have created a mystical atmosphere and more hoarfrost on the trees.
I started with photography at the age of about 12 years with a very cheap analog compact camera followed by a better analog model from Braun. After some years without taking pictures I got my first analog SLR camera - a Minolta XG9 - from my father. I learned about photography in an autodidactic way and soon I changed from negative prints to diapositives. In 2007 I bought my first DSLR camera, a Canon EOS 350D followed by a Canon EOS 500D, a Canon EOS 70D and the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV which I use today. My main subject is the landscape photography, mostly in the italian and swiss alps but I try to take pictures of animals and plants also...

about the photographer
I was born in 1974 in Ebingen (Germany) and grew up in Sigmaringen, where I finished school in 1994. Afterwards I went to the university in Stuttgart where I studied architecture. I had jobs in different firms and meanwhile I live in the small town Immenstaad at the Lake Constance.I started with photography at the age of about 12 years with a very cheap analog compact camera followed by a better analog model from Braun.
