The Litli Hrútur Volcano in Island

The Litli-Hrûtur Volcano in Iceland was only a short outbreak in the active Fagradalsfjall volcano area, south of Reykjavik. Despite a 10 Kilometer hike from the road hundreds visited the site every day. The best spot was on the hill of Litli-Hrútur. I was there twice and brought back some nice shots and video footage.

Here are two drone pictures. I'll add a video some time later…

Little Test: Pushing ISO in Post with Sony Alpha A7RII?

A short test with the Sony A7R2 for Astrophotography. What if a 800 ISO shot is pushed by three stops in Lightroom. Does it match the shot taken with 6400 ISO in camera?

Misty Island (La Gomera)

High-Res-4K-Video. Please watch fullscreen and use headphones or your speakers (nice music and original location sound)
4K-Video, bitte im Vollbildmodus betrachten, und: Kopfhörer an oder Lautsprecher ein. Danke!


Misty Island (4K | UHD) from Joerg Niggli on Vimeo.



Entirely taken in La Gomera, the second smallest of the Canary Islands. The eastern part of the island is under a steady stream of clouds that climb the steep, volcanic slopes. When they reach the top, they immediately dissolve again. From humid, cool haze to warm, dry sunshine in minutes - that's Gomera.
Aufgenommen in La Gomera, der zweitkleinsten der kanarischen Inseln. Der östliche Teil der Insel ist unter einem dauernden Strom von Wolken, die die steilen, vulkanischen Hänge erklimmen. Oben angekommen lösen sie sich gleich wieder auf. Vom feuchten, kühlen Dunst ins warme, trockene Sonnenwetter in Minuten - das ist Gomera.

Cameras: Sony A7S, A7RII, A6300. Edited in FCPX. Graded with Filmconvert. Music: Far Away Lands, Score Scene Library (rearranged)

REUSSLAND (Video)

Floating above the Reuss plain. In autumn, fog swathes often release the wonderful landscape in the border area of the cantons of Zurich and Aargau at noon.

Schweben über der Reussebene. Im Herbst geben die Nebelschwaden die wundervolle Landschaft im Grenzgebiet der Kantone Zürich und Aargau oft erst am Mittag frei.

The «HyperZürich» Experiment

The short «HyperZürich» is the result of an experiment.

How fast can you do move with your camera, shooting in continuous mode, and thus creating a hyperlapse?

The resulting video was shot in 2-3 hours in downtown Zurich. More on the technique and some conclusions in the «Timelapse Plus» section.

«Hyper8050»

Hyperlapse - the easy way. This video was recorded driving on a bike trough Zurich-Oerlikon (post code 8050) filming with the app «Hyperlapse» on my iPhone. The resulting movies are 720 only, and sometimes with visible artifacts. You cannot compare the quality of this iPhone videos with the real thing. But still: in my hyper lapsing experience, sometimes, even after hours of post production work the result is not convincing.

Hyper8050 from Joerg Niggli on Vimeo.


Hyperlapse auf die bequeme Art. Auf der Fahrt durch Zürich-Oerlikon (Postleitzahl 8050) mit dem iPhone gefilmt, mit der App «Hyperlapse» von Instagram. Dabei entstehen Filme im Format 720p. Zum Teil gibt es schon deutliche Artefakte. Die Qualität ist mit einem echten Hyperlapse nicht zu vergleichen. Allerdings steckt dort sehr viel mehr Arbeit drin - und ein schlechtes Ergebnis kommt auch dabei häufig raus.

«The West End of Europe»

...is in Portugal. «The West End of Europe» is where you are a spectator in the theater of nature, watching how the sea is forging a coast of both remarkable wilderness and beauty.
Filmed in April 2014 around Nazaré, Carvoeiro and Sagres. Shot mainly in 4K (UHD) with a Panasonic GH4 and a bunch of modern and vintage lenses. Then edited in a 1080p timeline in Final Cut Pro X. Some grading with Filmconvert. Music with a licence of Premiumbeat.com.

Das «West End» ist das Theater-Quartier Londons. Jenes von Europa liegt meiner Meinung nach in Portugal. An seinen Küsten wird man ein gefesselter Zuschauer einer Szenerie, in der das Meer die Küste formt. Die Aufnahmen wurden im April 2014 um die Orte von Nazaré, Carvoeiro (Algarve) und Sagres gemacht.
Die Kamera war eine Panasonic GH4. Fast alle Aufnahmen wurden im 4K-Modus (UHD) aufgenommen und im Schnitt in Final Cut Pro X auf die HD-Breite runtergerechnet. Das Grading erfolgte mit Filmconvert. Die Musik stammt von Premiumbeat.com.
