  • Como – Italian Adventure

    In the middle of June, together with friends, we went for a weekend to Italy. Silvia, my italian lab mate, organized a wonderful trip to Como and Cantu. What should I write more? Perfect weather, delicious food and Como lake. Weather was ideal for sunbathing but unfortunately not so great for photos - very hard…

  • Walensee and Weesen hike

    Few weeks ago we wanted to go somewhere for a hike but possibly close to lake. Because Zurich lake is almost fully urbanised and there are very few real hiking routs we chose to go to the next bigger lake - Walensee. It was already our third hike in the Walensee area but this time…

  • Tiny Planet – short guide

    As I have promised last time, today I would like to show you how to create a Tiny Planet – like picture. You will need basically two things: panorama picture and Adobe Photoshop. The best panorama, from my experience, is the one based on the 360°. The reason is quite simple – in this kind…

  • Bern Adventure

    Last Photo Adventures took me to Munsingen and Bern. The main point of the trip on Sunday was to visit Photo Munsingen, the biggest photo exhibition/meeting in Switzerland. I was also curious how other panels look like and we were lucky to still see some photo exhibitions. Among many different topics like Japanese winter, act pictures,…

  • Hiking day in Filzbach

    For a long time we wanted to visit Filzbach and mountains in the neighborhood because of the excellent view on the Walensee and Walenstadt and a cable-car which allows to start hiking already at the decent height. It is also good to mention that it takes only 1h to get there from Zurich HB. We took…

  • Night Sky movies!

    Weather is recently very good and nights are almost cloudless. The nights now are very short (~22:30 – 4:30) but still I could get enough frames to create those nice movies of the stars. I used StarStax which has a very cool setting of stacking pictures together (as my previously developed script) but provides much…

  • Ruetihof trip – year after Dandelion

    Two weeks ago I finally had some time to play with the camera, IR filter and new Macro lens Nikkor 105 mm f/2.8D MICRO. I took my equipment, tripod with new ball head and just hoped for something interesting to find. What I noticed is that my HOYA Infrared filter 720 nm behaves much better…

  • My picture “Lonely Tree” wins in last PICZ competition!

    I am so happy to announce that my picture taken back in 2015 won the latest Photo International Club Zurich competition called “My Switzerland”. I took it with the old Nikon D60 and Sigma 17-50 mm during my first real winter hike in Switzerland. From the pictures sent in the competition I really liked the…

    New Raspberry Pi Camera Water-sealed housing

    Raspberry Pi baser Night Sky camera is back on track! I had almost 1 month break with night sky recording because of the very rainy April. Camera was not protected how it should be and got some water inside the lens. Fortunately rice can really make magic with water-exposed electronics. I was wondering for quite…
