The storm left some nice clouds behind him and a perfect light for sunset over the Vatican. Water puddles everywhere provided a nice playground for reflections. I could not resist.

New on 500px : Hallstatt in Austria by dragrund by dragrund

The Blue Hour time was over in Hallstatt (UNESCO Heritage site in Austria) and I was about to leave my viewpoint when I noticed a strange meteorological phenomenon: suddenly low clouds appeared from nothing and moved quickly across the lake. At the same time the water was very calm leading to a fine reflection. Only 10 minutes later everything was gone and a clear cloudless night fell.

I was really happy to experience this unique natural spectacle and what I have learned again: be patient and take your time while taking pictures, sometimes unexpected things can happen.

Single exposure with a real reflection as usual.

Hallstatt in Austria is one of these magic places in Europe you have to visit once in your life. With a breathtaking mountain setting and only a few hundred inhabitants Hallstatt and the region around is a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1997.

Unfortunately it started to rain heavily in the late afternoon and I already saw my chances dwindle to take nice pictures here. But in the mountains the weather can change quickly, so at last I was very happy to take some Blue Hour shots at the evening.

Single exposure as usual – taken with my Sony A7 and my Leica 24mm lens.

New on 500px : Strasbourg – Alsace, France by dragrund by dragrund

It was very late in the evening in Strasbourg (Alsace, France) when I discovered incidentally this location in the Petite France district. I was really fascinated of the atmosphere there with the typical half-timbered houses, the view to the famous Cathedral and the reflections in the water.

Due to the late hour the light contrasts were extremly high; a really great challenge for my single exposure technique 🙂

The Petite France is the most picturesque and one of the best preserved parts of the historical centre of Strasbourg (Alsace, France). Its bridges, half-timbered houses, and winding streets make it a magnet for visitors.

Single exposure as usual.
