While some of my fellow wildlife photography experts hardly ever lift a camera to photograph landscapes, I very much enjoy capturing and sharing the broader spectrum of travelling to, and exploring the wilderness areas I visit. Well-crafted landscape photography can be fascinating. For me the combination of wildlife and panoramic landscape photography has become a bit of a love story. My "animalscapes" come into being when I observe wildlife in a beautiful or particularly charismatic setting. I switch to wide-angle lenses and either produce a single frame merging wildlife with landscape, or I start with the animal and add more frames through panning which are later merged into a large photographic animalscape panorama in post-processing. 

​

Sometimes travelling to and from a wilderness area includes light aircraft transfers. I enjoy these flights tremendously as it helps me to better understand the geography of the places I visit. Every now and then such transfers are scheduled for early morning or late afternoon hours promising an opportunity to make aerial photographs in good light. When all aspects align (good light, attractive route, clear, clean windows), flying low and relatively slowly above ground and photographing landscapes from the air is super fascinating.
