"Halfway up The Nose of El Capitan is one of the wildest pendulums in existence"--it's called the King Swing! I shot this way back in 2015 with my Sony a6000 (a CMOS sensor camera) and a 70-200mm lens for a 35mm equivalent of 300mm. Still, it's cropped waaay in. The climber's goal is seen in the fourth frame, grabbing onto a crack in the rock face so they may continue their climb up The Nose and to the top.

A color landscape photo of a gray granite rock face with two climbers. One climber is spotting a second climber about thirty feet above them as they attempt to swing from the far right side of the image to the far left side of the image where they will grab hold of a crack in the rock face so they can continue their climb up the mountain. The climber attempting the swing from the right, and who is suspended from a rope above them, has a yellow-green shirt on, a small backpack, and is making a very large step to gain the momentum necessary to swing across the rock face to the target crack.

The climber attempting the swing from the right, and who is suspended from a rope above them, is now at the bottom of the swing and is making very large strides in their attempt to swing far enough to grab the crack on the left side of the frame.

The climber attempting the swing from the right, and who is suspended from a rope above them, is now nearing the crack on the left and is just starting to reach out to insert their fingers into the crack. They are still about ten feet away, however.

The climber attempting the swing from the right, and who is suspended from a rope above them, has now reached the crack on the far left and appears to have obtained a hold. They are lying horizontal on the rock face and have yet to pull themselves over the crack.

Geological Deep Time – new blog series available in English now!

It's about our relationship with Earth's deep time – illustrated with my own photographs from the Black Forest and the Vosges. The first 3 parts are now online.

Night sky over a calm lake: Star trails are reflected symmetrically in the water. Because the camera was pointed directly north and the horizon with the tree line on the opposite shore was placed in the center, the star trails form two concavely curved circular arcs that are mirrored in the lake.

🕳️ There's a 500-km-wide impact crater hidden under two kilometers of Antarctic ice, and it might be connected to the worst mass extinction in Earth's history.

Scientists get clearest view yet of a spreading seafloor

A rare eruption in the Indian Ocean let researchers capture one of the clearest views yet of a seafloor spreading event

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🏖️📉 #California has lost roughly 60% of its coastal sand dunes since the 1850s, a loss of about 442 km².

Researchers used historical #maps, aerial #photos, and #lidar #data tracked by #machinelearning to measure the decline. Most losses came from development, #erosion, and invasive grasses, but some dunes expanded by 15 km² .

California’s Coastal Dunes Are Vanishing. Over 60% Have Disappeared Since 1850

The loss is accelerating and leaving entire ecosystems vulenrable.
