Photography Adventure in the Disco Bay, Greenland, from 24th-29th July 2019

Erez Marom had organized a photo workshop based in Ilulissat, Greenland to photograph during midnight sun the majestic icebergs that float in the bay. My trip started by taking the plane from Geneva to Copenhagen, then to stay overnight, and continue the other day via Kangerlussaq to Ilulissat, Greenland. When I tried to check-in in C'hagen, the receptionist told me that the hotel was fully booked and that my room had been cancelled by eDreams. What in hell and why? Sometime

Japan Winter Tour 3rd to 16th Febr. 2019

with Ade Photography From February 3rd to 16th 2019, I joined as a client on Ade’s photo tour to the Snow monkeys in Nagano after which we journeyed by plane to Kushiro in Hokkaido. Before Hokkaido, we started the winter tour at the Snow Monkey park (Jikokudani monkey park, province Nagano). This year’s winter wasn’t that strong, as there was not that much snow settled on the ground and because of the warmer air temperature the Snow Monkeys were not entering the geothermal p

New Musk Ox Pictures online

4th-8th Dec 2018 I have spend a few days in the Dovrefjiell National Parc, Norway to photograph musk ox during winter conditions. However, there was a lot of ice on the tundra and not a lot of snow what made the conditions for hiking rather difficult. Our guide Sigbjorn was great and of course essential for the success of this adventure. As winter had just started with some flurries and very cold wind, I felt happy every evening to be back in a well heated cottage. It was a

Africa Geographic Photo Competition Weekly Selection

Week 18, gallery 1 I have submitted again 3 pictures taken in Africa and this one has been selected. There are many excellent pictures submitted in this weekly contest, and I always wonder about the criteria of selection. I am very happy that my majestic elephant bull has made it into the weekly selection. I think my picture works mainly as a good ambassador to defend the case of ban on ivory trade and to enforce anti-poaching. This is the link to the voting page. Please make

Musk Ox Photography in Norway

It has been a great experience to hike in the tundra and on the mountain slopes in search of these prehistoric animals and to be finally rewarded. The weather offered rain and snow and some winds and it became sometimes quite cold so many layers were requiered to feel quite comfortable. Floris Smeets was a great guide, extremely knowledgable about the area, its ecosystem and about our main subject: the musk ox. It was wild animal photography in the pure sense and very rewardi

Looking forward to my trip to Africa

Together with my trustee colleague and friend P.V. we will spend some time in the southern parts of Africa, more specifically 2 nights at the Chobe River, then 6 nights in the Etosha National Park and then 4 nights in the Tswalu Camp in the Kalahari. This all together is a totally new experience. There will be quite some air transfer involved as the distances are huge. The small group of photographers will be guided by Stu Porter, from wild4photographic safaris. I trust in hi

My Canon cameras back from the service

All my gear, lenses and cameras, has been checked by Sertronics, Switzerland, that works as one of the Canon service centers in Switzerland. I have to say that I am very satisfied with the job they did. I got also my Dx 1 -Mk2 repaired. It was a problem related to the sensor cleaning. #photography #wildlife

Kushiro: Akan International Crane Centre

The Crane Centre is a nice spot to take pictures of the Japanese cranes. There are many photographers outside, but there is enough space to put up the tripod. Inside the centre it is cosy and warm, good Japanese fast food, a toilet, etc. A good place to warm up the frozen feet and hands. Outside there was good fresh snow, a strong wind was blowing the snow over the plain. Link to the Kushiro Crane Centre #Nature #photography #wildlife #Kushiro #Japanesecrane #AkanInternation

2 honorable mentions at the International Photo Competition Festival Photolorraine Nature 2017

It was not a big competition as there were only 995 photos by 117 candidates submitted. In the mammal category 6 photos were ranked, 2 of them were mine. I am happy that the jury considered them as good pictures as I love both of these shots. Not clear however, what they are doing with the non-winner pictures.

Let's go to the North

What has impressed me on the boat rides leaving Rausu (Hokkaido) and heading into the bay or street of Kunashirskiy at 44 degree north was this unique light. So I have put Svalbard on my destination list in 2018, at the end of the summer, when the midnight sun gives place to sunrises and sunset. #Japan #photography #landscape #blog #sunrise #Hokkaido #Rausu
