Milky Way across Teton Valley

The last weeks we stayed in Idaho and Wyoming to visit the National Parks Grand Teton and Yellowstone. My first image of the journey shows the Milky Way across Teton Valley. The first time I saw the dark and starry nights in Teton Valley the wish came to take a picture of the Milky Way. In the first hours of the night the center of the Milky Way was visible. So I prepared my camera, put it on a tripod and went outside into the garden.

The center of the Milky Way should be visible close to the horizon. So I decided to arrange the trees of the near road into my composition. At first I was angry, that during my first exposure a car drove through my image. But after review of the images it was the best image — the illuminated trees give a good contrast to the night sky.

Summer Floods & Rain

by Marc 07/26/2017 | 6 IMAGES IN THE BLOGPOST | 2 Comments

During the summer floods at June 26^th at the lighthouse Westerhever Sand we had a lot of rain. It was exciting to experience the flooding of the salt meadows around the lighthouse, but a drama for the birds because many of the them were still breeding in the salt meadows. I had taken all the images in black and white images to capture the dramatic atmosphere of the situation.

Here, where I could still be almost dry at the time of capturing the image, it was 30 minutes later almost 40 cm under water. How beautiful the structure of the bricks of the way is visible and how the storm is captured with the moving grass! read more or write a comment …
