Grindelwald
Posted on Januar 12th, 2014
Yesterday I showed you a nightshot of the Eiger. On this image, I shoot next day afternoon, you can see down to the village of Grindelwald. On the left border you can see a path trailing up, somewhere there I was the night before and shoot the Eiger. On th right side you see the large shadow of the Eiger but you can’t see the mountain. This is maybe a normal tourist photo if you are walking from the Männlichen to the ‘Kleine Scheidegg’. It’s an easy afternoon walk and if you stay in Grindelwald or Wengen, don’t miss it.
Eiger nightshot
Posted on Januar 12th, 2014
As you can think, I didn’t go to Grindelwald and take photos from the Eiger Northface only by day. It was clear, that I go to get some nightshots of this fames mountain and the best spot I found was the Bussalp, because there was a street up there. The problem was, you couldn’t drive this street without a permission. Luckily I found an officer at the down house which gave me this permission, so I could drive up there in the middle of the night.
It was a very dark night without any moon light but also without any clouds, so I had this clear view southward on the Eiger, Moench and Jungfrau.
For this image I took 8 shots for noise reduction with 1600ISO and my old Canon 60D.
The great wagon

This is another image of my picture series of the Togggenburg region. You can see mount Saentis with the large antenna, which is no more vertical because of the strong wide angle lens at 16mm I used. And the bright light behind the clouds on the right side, is not the sun, it’s the moon. But the most impressive part, how I think, is the star sonstellations ‘great wagon’. You can see it in the center of the image. Mostly you won’t see star constellations on nightshots, because of all the stars which you can’t see by eyes. But luckily there is a thin cloud which gives the brighter stars a glow and you can recognize the wagen.
I took this image by 8 shots for noise reduction, but I used for the sky part only one image for clearer clouds, else the clouds would be more blurred.
