During a telescope meeting in mid June 2018, set in the Austrian mountains I created the following two hyperlapses. The milky-way including some clouds passing over is a fantastic view. The transition from night to the first light of the morning sun is non the less a pleasure!
A Sardegna day to night to day timelapse (aka The Holy Grail of Timelapses)
Actually, I shot the footage of this timelapse more than 3 years ago. Though I kindof “lost” the images on my backup storage and forgot about it. A couple of days ago, I stumbled upon the files…
I sent a few days at a farm in northern Sardegna, Italy during a late August full moon. The terrace of the main building offered this splendid veiw of the countryside and pigs enclosure (you may see a few pigs running around at the end of the video). The full moon cast a shadow all night long, while the stars pass around Polaris.
The timelapse was shot between 19:44 and 08:53, covering 13 hours with 777 single exposures.

Autumn in Styria @ Klapotetzstrasse
The southern parts of Austria, along the border to Slovenia, are known for its wine. The wine is grown on the slopes of nearly every hill. To prevent birds from feasting excessively on the wine, farmers installed huge versions of noise making ratchets, called Klapotetz. These devices, the largest are up to 16 meters in height, reach back at least to the 18th century. They are found especially dense around the Klapotetzstrasse.
It is a really wonderful reagion to spend some time. In autumn, when colours are rich, seems to be the best time to be there…
Road Trip USA 2017 – timelapse
I condensed in this video the first 18 days on the road to a 5 minute movie. A lot of countryside besides the roads may be seen, but the video gives just a hint of all the beauty lying beyond, when you get out of the car an make a few paces. So, get out of the car and enjoy the places you would otherwise rush by 😉
The following map (generated in google maps with a few marker points along the route; the full path would exceed the maximum allowed waypoints) shows the coarse path we went:
About the video:
– 4K action cam attached to the upper right corner of the windscreen with a suction cup mount

Monument Valley from night to day
In the night of 2017-08-14 I created a timelapse with the milky way travelling above Monument Valley. Clouds and the crescent moon did interfere the beautiful sight of the millions of stars above one of the most impressive sights in the US. On the other hand, an amazing sunrise compensated for the second half of the night 🙂
Infrared impressions of Schlossberg in Graz
On a wonderful day with blue skies I took my (newly) modified full spectrum camera to Schlossberg in downtown Graz. All images shot with a 720nm infrared filter attached to the lens…
Autumn in Austria at Wörschachklamm
What’s better to do on a warm and sunny late autumn day? Go out for a nice photo hike! The gorge was unfortunately in full shade when I arrived. But all the surrounding areas were lit by warm sunlight…
Autumn impressions of Leopoldsteinersee
With perfect weather conditions, there is nothing better than colorful foliage. Here are some impressions of Leopoldsteinersee in Austria at later afternoon and in moonlight…
