• Múlafossur Waterfall

    May 14, 2023 in Faroe Islands ⋅ 🌬 7 °C

    In the afternoon, we met up with our photography tour group and the guides gave us a briefing about the upcoming days. We were excited to learn that we would be shooting sunsets at 22:30 and sunrises at 4:00, which meant that we would be getting very little sleep during our time in the Faroe Islands. But as photographers, we knew that this was all part of the job.

    After dinner, we headed back out to the Múlafossur Waterfall, hoping to capture the stunning scenery in the perfect light. We were not disappointed - the light was incredible, and we were able to capture some truly breathtaking shots of the waterfall.

    As we were shooting, we also had the opportunity to see and photograph some puffins, which are known for their cute and quirky appearance. It was a real highlight of our trip so far to see these beautiful birds up close.

    Eventually, close to midnight, we reluctantly headed back to the hotel for a short night's sleep. We knew that we would need to be up early the next morning to capture the sunrise, but we were all still buzzing with excitement from the incredible sunset shoot we had just experienced.

  • Lake Toftavatn

    May 14, 2023 in Faroe Islands ⋅ 🌬 8 °C

    On our second day in the Faroe Islands, we woke up early and headed out to explore more of the stunning landscape. Our destination was Toftavatn, a small lake nestled in the hills just outside of Tórshavn.

    The drive to the lake was stunning, with breathtaking views of the rugged coastline and rolling green hills. When we arrived, we were greeted by a herd of curious sheep, who seemed just as interested in us as we were in them.

    We spent the morning exploring the area around the lake, taking photos of the stunning views and the various shades of green that surrounded us. The weather was typically unpredictable, with sun, wind, and rain all making appearances throughout the morning.

    As we were taking photos, one of the sheep suddenly charged towards us, bleating loudly. We quickly realized that it was best to give the sheep some space and moved away to a safe distance.

    After a few hours at Toftavatn, we headed back towards Tórshavn. We decided to take the undersea tunnel back to the hotel, which was a unique experience in and of itself. The tunnel connects the island of Streymoy with the island of Eysturoy and is the second-longest underwater tunnel in the world.

    We arrived back at the hotel in the early afternoon, feeling tired but exhilarated from our morning adventure.

  • From the airport to Tórshavn

    May 13, 2023 in Faroe Islands ⋅ 🌬 10 °C

    Our first stop was the village of Gásadalur, which is famous for its picturesque waterfall, Múlafossur. We had seen pictures of the waterfall online, but nothing could have prepared us for the breathtaking beauty of the real thing. The waterfall tumbled down a sheer cliff and dropped into the sea below, surrounded by mist and fog.

    As we headed back to our hotel, I felt grateful for the opportunity to explore this beautiful place. Despite the challenging weather conditions, we had already taken some incredible photos, and we knew that there was so much more to see and capture during the rest of our trip. I fell asleep that night, excited for what the next day would bring.

  • From Zürich to the Faroe Islands

    May 13, 2023 in Faroe Islands ⋅ 🌬 10 °C

    It was an early morning start for me as I made my way to the airport in Zurich to begin my journey to the Faroe Islands for a long-awaited photography workshop. I was filled with excitement and anticipation, ready to learn new skills and capture stunning images of this breathtaking destination.

    As I arrived at the airport, I was greeted by my photography companion Michael, who had also been eagerly awaiting this trip. We checked in our bags and boarded our first flight to Amsterdam, where we had a brief stopover before continuing on to Billund.

    The journey was fairly complicated, with multiple flights and stopovers, but the stunning views from the airplane windows made it all worth it. As we flew over the rugged landscapes of Denmark and the Faroe Islands, I couldn't wait to step foot on the islands and begin exploring.

    As soon as we landed on the Faroe Islands, Michael and I were greeted with a thick fog that enveloped everything around us. It was a bit disappointing, but we were determined to make the most of our trip and explore this fascinating place

  • La Punt-Chamues-Ch

    March 19, 2023 in Switzerland ⋅ ☁️ 0 °C

    Welcome to my travel blog for landscape photography enthusiasts! Today, I want to take you on a journey to Engadin, a stunningly beautiful region located in Switzerland. Over the course of ten days, I explored the natural landscapes and captured some breathtaking shots of the area.

    On the first day of our trip, we arrived from home, and to our surprise, there was very little snow. It was disappointing because we were hoping to do some cross-country skiing. However, we didn't let this dampen our spirits and decided to go hiking instead. We started our adventure by heading up to the Albula pass. The view from the top was truly breathtaking. The snow-capped mountains stretched out as far as the eye could see, and the sky was a beautiful shade of blue.

    As a photography enthusiast, I had to capture this stunning view, so I flew my drone to get a bird's eye view of the area. The result was a set of stunning aerial shots that captured the beauty of the Swiss Alps.

    Throughout the hike, our dogs enjoyed the time in nature. The fresh mountain air and the beautiful scenery made it the perfect place to relax and recharge.

    After our hike, we headed back to our apartment in La-Punt, where we had a fantastic view of the Rhätische Bahn. Watching the trains roll by was a great way to unwind after a long day of hiking.

    Overall, the first day of our trip to Engadin was filled with beautiful scenery, stunning views, and unforgettable experiences. Stay tuned for more updates on my journey as I continue to explore this magnificent region and capture its beauty through my camera lens.
