Dead Vlei 2

Hiking towards Big Daddy

believe it or not the highest dune in Sosul Vlei park is 380m high, climbing a dune is by no means easy…

Dead Vlei

one of the most bizarre places I’ve ever seen, I’d go back to Namibia only to see this place again.

Namibia – Sosus Vlei

Leaf fish and Indonesia gallery posted

With an amazing camouflage imitating the leaves that commonly fall water they are extremely agile hunters, capable of catching prey within a quarter of a second. To see the entire Indonesia gallery simply go to Menu/Travel/Indonesia I hope you enjoyed these last pictures

Scorpion fish

Nudibranch 4/4

Who doesn’t like the nudies?! With extraordinary colours and striking forms, there are more than 3`000 described species of nudibranchs.

(Mimic) Octopus

in these pictures one octopus is actually an impostor (mimic octopus), can you figure it out which one is it?

Frog-fish

the bigger cousins of the hairy ones they can get as big as 38cm. the first one was around 30cm, really impressive to be honest and if you have a chance to see them hunting you’ll be amazed to see how extremely fast they are (as they move rather slow)

Hairy frog-fish* 2/2

Hairy frog-fish* 1/2

my absolute favourites and the main reason i wanted to go to Sulawesi. Without a guide is almost impossible to distinguish them from a ball of algae. Frogfishes do not swim in the conventional way; instead, they “walk” on their pectoral fins or use ‘jet propulsion’

Pygmy seahorse*

ok, i haven’t posted again in awhile, have been busy finalising all the Indonesia and Namibia’s pictures. with a length of max 2cm and incredible camouflage makes them very difficult to spot, reason for which they have been just recently discovered. Stay tuned and looking forward to hearing your feedback.

Mantis shrimp *

really cute tiny creature, extremely shy and so colorful. after i went so close to it to get these macros was i told that very often they hit the camera dome so strong with their claws that they are responsible for a lot of camera floods…

Moraine-eels *

my favourite underwater creature

Cuttle fish *

believe it or not is the same one in all pictures, all happening within 4-5 seconds

Sulawesi – Crabs (3/3) *

these two ones, i don’t think they were more than 4 mm big, the power of macro lenses

Sulawesi – Anemonefish (1/2) *

after a very very long break I start to post way overdue pictures. I will begin with the diving pictures in Sulawesi, best dive ever, two weeks, 1563 good pictures (after each dive any missfocus or missfiring of the flashes or just bad picture, was immediately deleted). It took me almost 3 months to come […]

Riffelsee

Stellisee

Stars trail over Matterhorn

fantastic location, the weather conditions almost perfect, 2 batteries depleted over night, i’m very happy with this picture but i still have to go there again to get exactly what i have in mind…realised i need a moonless night… if you look carefully at Matterhorn’s down right side you can see light trails of the […]

Sunrise over Matterhorn

Matterhorn at dawn

this is the first attempt at capturing stars-trail over matterhorn, i only got these two pictures then the clouds rose…waited and waited…to realize the best view would’ve been from the hotel window not down there in the cloud watching the dew freezing on camera…i’ll go again in 3 weeks time, the moon will be at […]

Bachalpsee (long time obsession)

this sunday we’ve been hiking along the Schynige Platte, one of the nicest hikes in Switzerland, being rewarded at the end of it with this magnificant lake. I am waiting for almost 3 years to photograph this lake during the night with stars trails and reflection of the mountains on the water…but is not easy […]

Beauty and the cutie

(see full post for more pictures) the famous red-eyed frog…a must to photograph! i only got to see three (two weeks apart) this one left few seconds after i got this picture, i didn’t even have time to recompose the red posion dart frog, is about 2cm big, not that deadly poisonous but deadly cute

Tortuguero

(see full post for more pictures)

Carate beach 2

from now on i will include very often more images in one post, so if you’re seeing this from an RSS reader open the full post to see the content, same if you can only see one picture.    the beach wasn’t one of the nicest i’ve seen, but the variety of animals was amazing, not […]

Carate beach
