Venice is an awesome city, regardless what kind of weather you experience, you can always do some magic photos. This morning though I got surprised with a beautiful sunrise after I spent an hour on St. Mark's Square during blue hour. This sunrise looks warm, but in fact I experienced about 4 degrees and it was freezingly cold, especially as I was only standing around.
If you don't know where this is, it could be basically anywhere. This is actually a backdoor into a church in a park in Moscow, Russia, where I have been in vast heat and humidity during summer 2014. One of my favorite shots!
In February I experienced 5 days of rain. The first 2 days this is quite fun as you can capture amazing photos like these, but the longer it rains the more you want to see something like sun, blue sky. Anyway, I love this shot!
When the sun hitted the horizon I unpacked my camera and did this long time exposure shot capturing the sunset. The day ended beautifully, with this being one of the highlights.
During May, the sun in Iceland is only gone for 2 hours, resulting in a very low angle how the sun sets at the horizon. This is photographic heaven as you have a lot more time to take your photos. I loved the colors so much that I stayed here after midnight, being tired, and looking forward to the 1 hour drive to the hotel which I still needed to accomplish.
Hanging in my living room in my apartment, and being my zodiac sign, this is definitely an image worth being in my favorites. I love the dominance this lion is demonstrating, he is the king, nobody else.
New York, what a fantastic city. I couldn't tell how much I love it to be there, regardless of what time in the year. This is actually February, standing on top of the Rockefeller Center below freezing point, it was so cold that my fellows I traveled with waited in a heated area until I finished my photos, which I completely understand, but my passion for these kind of photos is stronger than any weather can be.
Look at this image, there's no sign that any human being has ever been there. Untouched snow, beautiful sunlight or the setting sun, and - again - very cold weather (it seems I am very much into extremes...). This is Iceland, one of the most beautiful countries in the world.
Sometimes the little things are much more interesting than the big picture. This is the Venetian hotel in Las Vegas with the Mirage being in the background. The setting sun casted very nice shadows on the ground that this photo was a low brainer for me. Beautiful!
An amazing waterfall in Iceland but very hard to capture due to the spray.
Venice during sunset. This is one of my favorite shots, a 6 minutes long time exposure on Ferrovia bridge in August. Vast heat, tons of tourists, humidity, but amazing colors while the sun setted in my back.
Bryggen is a World Heritage Site located in Bergen, Norway. As Bergen is the most rainy city in Europe, guess what I have been experiencing a lot? Rain. But rain always leads to nice reflections on the streets, like you can see in this image.
Montenegro is a tiny little country next to Croatia, but offers a lot of beautiful places to take your photos. This was an astonishing sunset next to the small city of Becici where I stood half-way in the water and hoping that the flood doesn't pull me or my camera into the water.
One of the most famous sunrise spots in Venice is the Accademia bridge. In early August, you have to be there before 6 am, fighting for a place on the bridge and suffering 27 degrees with high humidity. But I don't care if this is the result you get!
