The Photoadventure 2020 takes place!! The team of the Photoadventure had been working very hard in the past few weeks and months, organized a new venue (the Pyramide in Voesendorf/Vienna) and made the event "corona-ready". We offer two lectures:
- Warum Makrofotos so oft misslingen (why macrofotos fail so often)
- Bildwirkung in der Fotografie (the message of an image)
Most recent works with focus on micro- and macrophotography are presented in the exhibition section of the event.
You find more under events. Visit the online ticket shop.

Yesterday I had the chance to take a picture of this beautiful insect, a male banded demoiselle (Calopteryx splendens). It was early morning and quite cold at the river Feldaist (Upper Austria). In order to be ready to fly, the dragon fly trembles with its wings.

Due to Corona, I limited my regular outdoor activities to public parks arount our apartment in the 8th district Vienna (1 km diameter). There are several parks and in one of them I found specimens of sweet violet (Viola odorata).
I was specially interested in the root. The root was cut with a Jung HN-40 microtom using disposable blades. Stained with Wacker W3A, mounted with Eukitt.
