Bee Eaters are commonly found in Africa, Asia and Southern Europe, but due to the climate change, they now can even be found in the warmer regions of Austria – like at the Neusiedlersee region, south of Vienna. As their name indicates, bee eater live on insects which they catch right off the air, which [...]

I spend almost every weekend outdoors, either hiking, mountain biking or motorcycling – and I always take my camera with me, often without taking a single picture and often although the weather or the light don’t look too promising to make a good photograph.

I knew the fullmoon would rise in the east, letting the fog on the pond glow in a warm tone. Actually moon light has a similar quality as sunlight, it has almost the same color temperature. The [...]
