Photoadventure 2022

After a break of two years due to corona, the Photoadventure finally was back again on 12 and 13 November 2022. This time at a new location, the Pyramide in Vösendorf. On 8 walls we were able to present older, but also very recent pictures. The visitors were particularly interested in the pictures taken with the microscope and the making of the preparations. And only a few could imagine that horse-flies can be so beautiful. This year, for the first time, the large panoramas of the Dachstein south face and the Rosenau pond were exhibited. We thank everyone for the stimulating and informative discussions.

Macro- and Microphotography Summer 2022

This year's August again, a few enthusiasts of macro and micro photography came together to devote themselves to their hobby. The intensive exchange of experiences and opinions is particularly appreciated. One of this year's special topics: working with PEG (polyethylene glycol), a challenging material that offers plenty of opportunities to make mistakes and learn from them.

Macro- and Microphotography Summer 2019

Since many years Schloss Weinberg is hosting Gerhard Zimmert, who offers workshops dedicated to varies aspects of macro- and microphotography. The castle was founded on a solid rock and is situated far away from traffic. In this respect the castle is a perfect place for working with microscopes and macro lenses as vibrations are the biggest problem in this field of photoraphy.

Photoadventure 2018

This was the Photoadventure 2018. Those two days were - as always - very intense. For the first time we presented our new project "Conifer needles in cross section" to a broader audience. The feedback was very positive and motivating to continue with the new topic. The FineArt prints were done by Sepp. Thanks for your effort to meet our narrow timeframe.
