Welcome to Frank Tschöpe Landscape & Wildlife Photography!

I am a professional photographer specializing in high quality nature and landscape pictures. Usually I combine my hiking and running trips around the world with photography! Currently I use fixed lenses from Zeiss and Canon with focal lengths of 21mm, 24mm, 35mm, 50mm and zooms with 70-200mm and 200-560mm!. Wildlife photography requires a combination of camera skills, timing and patience. One essential aspect is often forgotten: knowing how to use the light to get the best results from your wildlife photos.
As a photographer, I have learned that the ideal light for a photo can vary depending on the subject. Landscape photos are usually best photographed in sunny weather, early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the contrast is low and the light is soft and colouful. On the hand, rainforest photography is usually best in the middle of the day, in cloudy weather to eliminate extremes of light and shade. To understand the best lighting for wildlife photography, you can take a lesson from both landscape and rainforest photography.

Currently you will find there galleries on the topics Patagonia, Iceland, Nepal, Wildlife, People and Arctic Foxes. I offer also beautiful calendars, posters and selected pictures. Any questions? You are very welcome to contact me via my homepage.
