Audi MedCup

By JK | Published 28/07/2010

Nun ist schon das zweite Audi MedCup Shooting zu Ende. Die Boote sehr ähnlich wie letztes Jahr trotz ein paar Änderungen. Die Segel etwas grösser, Team kleiner, angepasster Tiefgang und ein Bowsprit. Es ist immer wieder eine Herausforderung neue Bilder zu machen da die Boote fast wie letztes Jahr aussehen, aber die kleinen Änderungen gaben [...]

Golf

By JK | Published 18/07/2010

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

By JK | Published 27/06/2010

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

By JK | Published 20/02/2010

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 [...]

Christo Redentor

By JK | Published 01/02/2010

One morning the customer I was shooting for in Rio told me, you have to go up there and shoot the “Christo Redentor”. After the racing days we had only cloudy days and only 2 of them left before flying home. In a good moment with the clouds disappearing I grabbed a taxi and off [...]

Always look twice

By JK | Published 27/07/2009

Yesterday on flight back from the Audi Medup in Cagliari I found this picture. It’s a sunset on the Hirzel one of my favorite shooting place. Right after the shooting the picture didn’t made it in to the selection of the day, would have almost deleted it, sometimes you really need to look twice before [...]

While you where sleeping

By JK | Published 26/04/2009

It doesn’t need to be the Caribbean or some other well known place. Close to Zurich we have a place called Hirzel, it’s a landscape with many small hills and on each hill you will find a tree. It’s a tradition that the farmer who owns the small hill plants a tree on top of [...]

The brain defines the limit

By JK | Published 20/04/2008

Can you imagine to do 51 km in the alps with a altitude difference of 4000m in temperatures ranging from 5 to – 15 degrees? Maybe yes if you are well trained but the guys I could follow with my camera they do it in less than 6 ½ hours! No I’m not joking this [...]
