My new calender

Bevermündung 2017

A little nature reserve protects the last 800 m of the river Bever where it flows into the river Ems. The area is a pasture with some impressive old trees on it. The small river Bever meanders there through. I visited this location at all seasons and took photographs under extremely different conditions. Every scene selected for this calender is shown at different seasons, e.g.once in winter and again in spring.

An information sheet is included, where the 'making of ' is explained.

New:   Germany digital

From the North Sea to the Black Forest. This page shows photographs and panoramas from all over Germany which are taken in the last years (from 2009 on) with digital equipment.

Germany analogue is the former page Germany which shows photographs taken with the large formate camera.


New:   Münsterland digital and Münsterland series

Many new images were mixed in the former page Münsterland digital. So I devided it into two. Münsterland digital shows panoramas and a few single shots from various locations in Münsterland, not at all systematic, but my favorite images from my home region. Münsterland series shows locations photographed at two ore more different seasons.


Back again:   Equipment

This page was absent for a year. As still there is some intrest in my large formate camera technique as well as in my panorama technique, I added it to my homepage again.

New Design of my Website and New Poland Report

Many new travel reports had been included into this site during the last years. So it was necessary to redesign the navigation area. I am grateful to Mrs Khodjasteh (http://www.ikho-webdesign.de) for redesigning the head area that it could be integrated easily into the existing sites.

The report of my Poland journey in June 2015 is published.
