Welcome

... on my website and have fun browsing the picture galleries.
Visit the world of nature photography.

If somebody sees something on his raids which is impressive and raised, he pauses in a devout silence for a moment. For him it isn't necessary to hallow one of seven days because for him every day is sacred.

Mammal photos - The newest pics from mammels, 30 Nov 2019

Before leaving the tree hole, the Raccoon carefully observes the surroundings

A European Hare in a spring forest, encounters in a forest with photo success are very rare

European Polecat is native to most of Europe to the Urals and north Morocco, it is absent from Ireland, northern Scandinavia, much of the Balkans and eastern Adriatic coast

Muskrat eats the leaf of a poplar, the claws are clearly recognizable

Before the Raccoon finally leaves his tree hole he protects extensively

The badger sow has left the burrow and secures tightly near the entrance to the cave

On the last trip to Denmark we finally had luck on our side. In the third year of the search we could finally discover the Danish wolves, partly extensively observe and even photograph them. Even my dream motive was there. I had always imagined to meet a wolf in the flowering heath, that there should be four of them, whereby three puppies are even on some pictures, would have been too much of a good thing. In the early light of the morning sun we could capture this impressive experience in pictures. Maybe you like the photos too.

The two-week Lusatia tour is over. From a photographic point of view, the pictures of the European Polecat are the absolute highlight. I never expected to be able to photograph this species in the wild.

Helge wishes you a lot of fun viewing the images.

Bird photos - New pictures from our flying friends, 12 Nov 2019

For me there is no bird species that fits better to the fog than to the Common Raven and the joy about two successful photos this morning was great

Red Kite, the wingspan range from 150 to 180cm - (Photo Red Kite in flight)

Eurasian Wigeon, the wingspan range from 71 to 80 cm - (Widgeon - Photo Eurasian Wigeon drake in flight)

Sanderling is a long-distance migrant - (Photo Sanderling in non-breeding plumage rests on a rock on the North Sea coast)

Tawny Owl, after 5 months the young birds cannot be distinguished from the adults - (Eurasian Tawny Owl - Photo Tawny Owl has rested during the day at the entrance of his tree hole and becomes active at dusk)

In my view is the photography of birds one of the most challenging topics about nature photography. Eminently the photography of singing birds. They are often very small and thereto also very lively. Another group of songbirds the corvids are not small, but they are very smart and sneaky. Fortunately gives it not only songbirds.

New images of the Red Deer rut 2018, 09 Feb 2019

While the 2017 Red Deer rut was not particularly successful from a photographic point of view, things could only get better in 2018. On October 13th even a successful mating attempt could be documented. Photographs were taken in two different habitats. The first, already frequently visited area, is a very extensive heath landscape. The other habitat is a forest area of over 10,000 hectares. The proportion of coniferous forest is over 80 percent. In this area deer photography was very difficult. Protracted lengthy waiting on forest aisles, which required constant attention. The moments with sight were mostly very entertaining and did not announce themselves. Unfortunately, it was not until the third last day that I discovered a large stage in this area with a viewing angle of more than 180 degrees. What the coming rut will probably offer for experiences. Excitement is provided.

Since years I search fossils. Certainly more by the way happenstance. The last time I´am looking more intensive and found some fossilisations. As a addict photograph, I have the target to present the discoveries in good photos.

We were put together with all creatures on this earth. All these creatures, also the smallest grasses and the biggest trees are a family with us. All of us are brothers and sisters and we have the same value on this earth.
