Spring Natur Photography - Gemeinde Wildalpen (2021)
Crossing fingers helped! The first photo workshop of this year took us to Wildalpen. The weather was cold and rainy, but we still experienced the tender green of spring. As you can see on this wonderful shot of the Brunnsee.

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.

Summer Workshops 2018
We are often asked about the technical equipment that is needed to take pictures of the micro world. Here are some examples, but - as always - technical equipment is not the only ingredient to be successful.

Photoadventure 2017
On Sunday this year's Photo + Adventure 2017 closed its doors. We faced two intensive days with a lot of very interesting and inspiring discussions. Many participants from former workshops visited us or attended one of our two workshops. For the first time we presented fine art prints and a hand-made box. Thanks to Sepp the box was ready on time.
