While the weather prevented super moon photography on Saturday here in Central Switzerland, it cleared up on Sunday and even though it was just 98.54% full, the light was still spectacular. Just to make it clear, I have not shot a single exposure with the moon in the frame, I only used the moon as a reflector of the sunlight for my photographs. All but the last picture shown here were shot in Brunnen at Lake Lucerne. The last picture shows Lake Lauerz with Rigi in the background. I created a gallery on my Portfolio site with more supermoonlight photographs.
I was very surprised to find out that one of my photographs was chosen as Picture of the Day on the National Geographic website. I shot that photo in early December last year on my way to work. The snow on the pier was still untouched and the rising sun created that spectacular orange glow on the horizon – I was very lucky as that beautiful light lasted for less than 5 minutes. The particular picture is part of my Landscape Portfolio.
Another wonderful warm evening, so I decided to check out the afterglow of the sunset at the lake near my house and it was worth it…

I had not much time to shoot so I just pulled over on my drive home and grabbed that shot of this lonely bench.
It finally stopped raining and the weather forecast looks quite promising for the next few days. I noticed this heron sitting on a boat while driving home and had to snap it:
Still no weather improvement. I went to Brunnen today and shot some rainy pictures of Lake Lucerne:
This is the same lake as seen in #13/365 but at totally different lighting conditions and in the early morning. In order to get enough light on the foreground without blowing out the quite bright overcast sky, I shot 3 bracketed exposures at f/22, ISO50 which gave me fairly long shutter-speeds to smoothen the water. I’ve used the HDR Pro feature in Photoshop CS5 this time to tone-map the HDR. The main reason I chose PS over Photomatix was the much better ghosting removal feature which I need for the leafs.
Light was horrible but I knew I wouldn’t have time to shoot later in the day so I worked with what I got -> horrible light. Due to the fact that the sun was still quite high I decided to include some sun-flares that should hit the rock near the water.
