From the desert back to the city to catch blue hour in Dubai. This view probably doesn’t look like this anymore. Buildings are built here pretty fast.

Finding a dead tree is one thing, but getting it into a perfect frame is another.
Loved those nights in the desert.

Going back a few years to this shot — same night, just a different frame without me in it.

Dead trees work surprisingly well in these scenes. And like I mentioned in my last post: a desert doesn’t automatically mean complete darkness.

That’s exactly why I’m excited to see where you find truly dark skies — and what you capture there.

I’m honored to be part of this year’s jury for „Capture the Dark“ photo contest — and submissions are now officially open!

Capture the Dark, DarkSky’s premier night photography contest, is back for its fifth year 🌌

#darkskyweek #astrophotography #lightpollution #milkyway
4.5 years ago, I stood in the middle of the dunes to take this photo — searching for a dark place. When you think of the desert, you automatically think of darkness, but even back then, it was surprisingly difficult to escape the artificial light from the cities.

Light pollution is noticeably increasing worldwide, you can see on light pollution maps how quickly even remote regions are becoming brighter.

Especially during International Dark Sky Week, this is more than just astrophotography to me — it’s also a reminder of what we should value. A natural night sky.

I took a stroll around Dubai Marina to catch the sunrise.
The water is still beautifully calm in the morning.

#dubaimarina #sunrise #city
Back then, just a morning - today, a memory that will last.

These photos have been sitting around on my drive for 4.5 years now. That’s how long it’s been since we had the chance to stand up here for a sunrise mission. There were so many different views. While we captured the sunrise, the city slowly came to life below us.

*October 2021 w/ *
This will be my last post about the mosque. I promise.

Still, I didn’t want to deprive you of seeing what it looks like at night. Or the details inside and the corridors.

Sunset at the Grand Mosque. The sun set perfectly behind the peak of the building, but unfortunately the photo is a bit overexposed because I set the exposure too high.
Mistakes happen—and that’s okay to share too.
