Hello Strangers, friends, dudes and dudettes!

Mostly i try to capture the magic of nature, always in search of unspoiled Tolkien-like, moody and mystical places, preferably without damaging traces of our civilization.

In photography i like all subjects. The more creative, artistic, moody, mystical, intense or funny, the better. I'm impressed by unique processing, compositing, tasteful tones and the ability of freezing a special moment.

Feel free to comment, critisize, ask, discuss or making fun of my pictures, but please don't use comment codes, flashy *blink blink* graphics or invite me to groups who support this and have rules.

I post most of my pictures not in original size but large. So please be fair and don't use my stuff without permission. If it is for a good cause the chances are big you can use them for free. But please ask first.

Pictures tagged with ✪ are my personal favorites.

    "And it's time to write something about my friend Martin too!

    One of the most important thing about a photo is the way it can move you and stir up feelings and emotions, apart from being technically perfect or not. Your photos do.

    Let me add that it's always a pleasure to share more than a passion with a friend: photography, music and films... ;o)

    Shine on amico!"

    "Dear hipydeus, this is a chance for me to say what I - and I'm sure many others - feel about your work. You are an inspiration to us all, in your photography and in your many other creations. I aspire to these heights but, in the end, am content to just bend my neck and look upwards. You are, truly, an imaging genius!"
