Alte Files alte Erinnerungen
Es ist nun schon ein paar Jahre her seit meiner Reise nach Burma oder genauer Bagan. Eine Fläche mit 2’000 Tempel und Pagoden. Es brauchte einen regnerischen Sonntag um diese alten Files herauszugraben und endlich das Panoram Bild zusammen zu stellen. Wie hat sich Burma verändert? Mehr Touristen die auf den Tempels hermklettern und das [...]

Audi MedCup
Nun ist schon das zweite Audi MedCup Shooting zu Ende. Die Boote sind sehr ähnlich wie letztes Jahr trotz der paar Änderungen. Die Segel etwas grösser, Team kleiner, meht Tiefgang und ein Bowsprit. Sind das genug Änderungen um das Bild neu gestalten zu können oder werden wir fast die gleichen Bilder wie letztes Jahr machen? [...]

Golf
Es ist nun schon das dritte mal, dass ich mit den Kameras und Objektiven auf einem Golfplatz unterwegs war. Sehr oft bei Gesprächen übers Golf kam das Argument wie gut man auf dem Golfplatz abschalten kann. Gestern durfte ich die Reinhard Trophy im Golf Club Thunersee fotografieren und es funktionierte wirklich, hatte das Gefühl für [...]

5.5 Zeitlos wie die Klassischen Yachten
Es ist nun schon das zweite Jahr dass ich die 5.5 Schweizer Meisterschaft fotografiere. Die Boote sind einfach unglaublich schön. Zeitlose wie die Klassischen Yachten. Wäre super wenn es mit der WM in Torbole klappen würde da sind die Windbedingungen etwas anders und das wird man sicher auf den Bilder sehen. Grüsse Jürg

My favorite photos from the 33rd America's Cup
It was a cold day, waiting on the photo boat for the race committee to start the race, then speeding around like devils at 50 miles/h following the boats after the start (now I know how fast is Hydroptere). 5 Miles in to the race we had to stop and after a short break off [...]

on tv
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ac4bK7g4vw&hl=de&fs=1] It was sure one of my highlights during the 33rd America’s Cup having a professional TV crew following me during 1 day shooting. The TSI is the Televisione Svizzera Italiana the Italian part of Switzerland where I grew up, unfortunately because of all this travelling for sailing I spend too little time at home. [...]

Valencia is getting ready
First day in Valencia, it doesn’t seem that in less than 3 days there will be the 33rd Americas cup. Plenty of activity going on, tv trucks cables, noise etc. The harbor is busy but no AC boat’s. BMWO is in the commercial harbor and Alinghi 5 is under the tent. On the top of [...]

Getting Ready for the Cup
Since a while Daniel Forster and me we started to work together on projects, this give us the chance to cover more complex shootings easier such as for example the 33rd Americas cup. The distances are so big it’s impossible to shoot at the start and then being on time also at the weather mark. [...]
