Die Dünen wandern dabei in nord-westliche Richtung vorwärts, bis sie auf das Bett des Kuiseb-Flusses treffen. Das Wasser in diesem Rivier (Trockenfluss) fließt selten, aber dennoch häufig genug, um ein Fortschreiten der Dünen zu verhindern. Position 23°33.704 S, 15°02.466 E l Namib desert. Close to the Gobabeb training and research centre, at 23°33.704 S, 15°02.466 E The Namib Dune Sea is formed by the powerful force of desert winds. These winds gradually push the dunes in a north-westerly direction. (Solvin Zankl)

November and December Solvin is working on assignment in the Namib.

GEO magazine, German issue No. 08/2012, publishes Solvin’s images about carbonate sand from Raja Ampat, Indonesia - (‘Reines Bio-Korn’)

GEO veröffentlicht in der Ausgabe 09/2011 Solvins Bilder über eine Handvoll Sand: Die Typen vom Strand  – (‘Reines Bio-Korn’)

[Digital focus stacking] Spicules that once have had stabilising and predator deterring functions in sponges can frequently be found in the sand from Raja Ampat, Indonesia. Diagonal of frame approx. 4 mm | Stabilisierenden Skelettnadeln von Schwämmen sind häufig im Sand zu finden. Raja Ampat, Indonesien Bilddiagonale ca. 4 mm (Solvin Zankl) [Digital focus stacking] Within the diverse shapes of calcaeous particles there are spicules which served as structural elements and to a certain degree as a deterrent of predators in soft corals. After the die-off of the soft coral the spicules become a fraction of the sediment and therefore also of the sandy beaches. Raja Ampat, Indonesia. Diagonal of frame approx. 5 mm | Unter den formenreichen Partikeln des Kalksandes findet man Kalknadeln, die als sogenannte Sklerite in lebenden Weichkorallen (Alcyonacea) für die Stabilisierung des Gewebes und eine gewisse Abschreckung von Freßfeinden sorgen. Nach dem Absterben der Korallen verbleiben die Nadeln im Sediment und bilden so einen Teil des Korallensandes. Raja Ampat, Indonesien. Bilddiagonale ca. 5 mm (Solvin Zankl) [Digital focus stacking] The white carbonate sand from Raja Ampat, Indonesia, is generated by a vast diversity of organisms: e.g. foraminifera, sponges, brachiopods, echinoderms, bryozoa and mollusks. Diagonal of frame approx. 8 mm | Im weißen Kalksand von Raja Ampat, Indonesien, finden sich die Überreste von einer riesigen Vielfalt an Organismen: z. B. Foraminiferen, Sklerite von Schwämmen und Weichkorallen, Molluskenschalen, Kalkalgen, Bryozoen, Crinoiden und Skelettreste von Stachelhäutern. Bilddiagonale ca. 8 mm. (Solvin Zankl)
[Digital focus stacking] By picking out the spines of sea urchins from the sand sample from Raja Ampat, Indonesia, the wide range of colours of these animals become visible. Diagonal of frame approx. 5 mm | Die aus einer Sandprobe aus Raja Ampat, Indonesien, sortierten Seeigelstacheln zeigen die Farbenvielfalt dieser Tiere. Bilddiagonale ca. 5 mm (Solvin Zankl) [Digital focus stacking] Threads of protoplasma by foraminifera (Sagenina frondescens) on a piece of sea shell with agglutinated sand particles. Raja Ampat, Indonesia. Diagonal of frame approx. 5 mm| Verzweigte Protoplasmafäden einer Foraminifere (Sagenina frondescens) angeheftet auf einem Muschel- oder Schneckenschalenbruchstück mit kleinen agglutinierten Sandkörnern. Raja Ampat, Indonesien Bilddiagonale ca. 5 mm (Solvin Zankl) [Digital focus stacking] Two beauties of different kinds: the shells of the minute sea snail (Schwartziella ephamilla, top) and the wentletraps (Cycloscala hyalina, below) barely remained unbroken between the rough company of sand grains. Raja Ampat, Indonesien. Diagonal of frame approx. 2 mm | Als Schönheiten zweier verschiedener Stilrichtungen kommen die winzigen Schalen der Meeresschnecken Schwartziella ephamilla Oben) und der "Wendeltreppe" (Cycloscala hyalina) daher. Bisher haben sie die rauhe Gesellschaft der übrigen Sandpartikel unbeschadet überstanden. Raja Ampat, Indonesien Bilddiagonale ca. 2 mm (Solvin Zankl)

Around one hundred biologists, specialised in different groups of plants and animals, gather under a predefined heading to find as many species as possible in an according area. At the end of the day the species are counted and a list with all findings is set up to be published in a special brochure that comes with the GEO magazine. Solvin Zankl has been the main photographer to document the nature in an area of sustainable agriculture in Germany. For this assignment he modified a wide-angle lens, so that he could show small animals in their natural habitat (macro-wide-angle). With this equipment the whole intention of the picture can be changed by moving the camera just a bit. Solvin thus often took up to 100 pictures of a single subject to achieve the ultimate perspective.

Awards:

The “german award for science photography 2008″, first price for the picture story on biodiversity in an area of sustainable agriculture. The story was produced on assignment for GEO.
