"Wow, I've never seen the Sauerland so beautiful!" This is how many people react to the landscape photos taken by Oberkirchen photographer Klaus-Peter Kappest. His "secret recipe" is very simple and not so secret: he always uses the best, most atmospheric light that nature is willing to give. This is usually found around sunrise and sunset. In many cases, the sun is even below the horizon at the optimum moment: at dawn and dusk.
You can go hiking with the photographer during these phases. These walks are explicitly not just for photographers. Above all, they are for people who simply want to sharpen their senses for nature and light and, above all, for the interplay of the two in the creation of moods. You will experience how water in its various forms gives shape and color to light: as clouds, fog, rain, dew, hoarfrost, snow or haze. You will experience how atmospheric light emerges at dusk, whatever the weather.
Each tour has its own theme. The exact walking route is only decided at very short notice before the date, depending on the weather. Klaus-Peter Kappest always chooses the route to suit the weather. It will be a maximum of 7 km. In order to be able to stop again and again to enjoy the light, 2.5 to 3 hours are planned.
Each participant should bring a flashlight or headlamp. If you want to take photographs, you will find a tripod helpful.
