Hier zeige ich euch ein paar Bilder von Jill von unserem zweiten Shooting, was in einem Parkhaus in meiner Heimatstadt stattfand 🥰. Danke Jill für die zahlreichen Shootings die wir schon zusammen gemacht haben🤗🤗

“Sunrise” is a beautiful illusion.

As our small blue world turns, it creates the feeling that the Sun rises above the horizon. But in reality, it is us who are moving — slowly rotating into the light.

And that warm golden glow? The Sun itself isn’t yellow or red. In space, its light is nearly white. The colors we see here are shaped by our atmosphere. As sunlight travels through a thicker layer of air at low angles, shorter blue wavelengths scatter away, while reds and yellows continue their journey. This process — known as Rayleigh scattering — paints the sky in gradients from deep blue to warm amber.

In this moment, captured in the heart of the Kampina, the low Sun pushes through a solitary tree, its light stretching across a field of tall grass. Beams of light scatter, reflect, and soften as they pass through air filled with moisture and particles, turning physics into something that feels almost poetic.

Shot with the Canon 5DsR and Sigma 24–70 Art, handheld — chasing light that changes faster than any setting can keep up with.

Because sometimes, understanding the science doesn’t take away the magic… it reveals just how extraordinary it really is.

As the sun slowly climbed higher, the mist began to settle. What once floated invisibly through the air became droplets — tiny beads of water forming along the delicate threads of spiderwebs.

And then the light found them.

Each droplet acted like a miniature lens, bending and reflecting the morning light. This is refraction at work: light changing direction as it passes through water, turning simple dew into a constellation of bright points. What is nearly invisible in shadow becomes suddenly radiant under the right angle of light.

For a brief moment, the forest revealed a hidden structure — geometry spun overnight, now outlined in light.

Same place, same camera, same settings. Just a little later in time… and an entirely different world.

After weeks of staying in — weather, work, and life gently pulling me away from the outdoors — I returned to a familiar place. Early morning, 06:00. A quiet drive in my little yellow car, back to the Kampina.

And it welcomed me immediately.

As the sun began to rise, its light broke through the trees in long, defined beams, cutting through the lingering mist. What we see here is a beautiful example of light scattering: tiny water droplets suspended in the air make normally invisible sun rays visible, revealing the geometry of light itself. Without the mist, these beams would simply pass unnoticed.

The forest was still mostly dark, branches forming a natural frame — almost resisting the light, yet unable to stop it. That contrast is what drew me in. Light doesn’t just illuminate; it reveals structure, depth, and atmosphere.

Photographing this handheld meant working quickly. Light like this is fleeting — it shifts, softens, disappears. I used my Canon 5D Mark IV with the Sigma 100–400mm at approximately 1/250 sec, ISO 500, balancing stability and sensitivity in low morning light.

There’s something grounding about returning to a place you trust. No spectacle needed — just the quiet interaction between light, moisture, and time.

And this was only the beginning of that morning.

Have been trying this new free software denoise approach presented here (https://discuss.pixls.us/t/introducing-a-new-foss-raw-image-denoiser-rawrefinery-and-seeking-testers/54778) on one of my older kingfisher images. For the initial version I'm quite happy so far :)

They tried to bury us, 
They didn't know we were seeds. - Mexican proverb

Kalpulli Teuxihuitl and Telpochcalli  Coyolxauhqui dancers celebrating the Mexica New Year.  Woman wearing blue, black and red feathered head dress.  A leather feathered shied in one hand and a gourd rattle in the other.  A tight tan colored top which covers her chest, but shows off her fit physique.  Arms and shoulders are glistening with sweat.  

She stand facing right side of frame and members of the group are in slight bokeh in the background.

Deliberately getting lost in an old part of town, without avoiding the dead-end streets. Because there is always something there.
