#blackandwhitechallenge: Day 1

Perhaps you have heard about the #blackandwhitechallenge, which is running on Google+. The idea is to post 1 picture a day (5 days long) within the simple rules of the challenge, in this case they just has to be B/W. So, I got nominated by my fellow photographer friend Michael “Jay” Zwahlen to be part of this […]

Sunset at the Port of Hamburg – Video

Last week I was walking around the Port of Hamburg during a really fantastic sunset (pictures of this are coming soon!) and I realized, that I do almost nothing that has to do with video with my equipment. Having the DSLR and the smartphone with me, I had actually two great devices for making some […]

Pic of the week – 2014/41: Sunset at La Digue Island, Seychelles

Located in the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles are known for having some of the most beautiful and astonishing beaches in the world… and let me tell you: it´s true!

Pic of the week – 2014/40: in the Andes of Peru

In order to get from the Titicaca Lake in Puno to Cusco in Peru, many people take the plane. But if you really want to admire and be delighted by the nature in the Andes of Peru, I can only advice you to do the trip by car or bus. The journey will be much longer (depending on […]

Faded Photography

It´s interesting… allthough, normally, we all strive to achieve technical perfection (at least most of the time) while making photographies, there are sometimes images that do actually look “good”, while not beeing technically perfect.

While walking through the port of Hamburg, Germany, you will find the new quarter called “Hafencity” which is an area that has been build up in the last 15 years or so.

This 360° dynamic pictures were developed by Google and are a pretty amazing and easy way to depicture the world around you… literally! You can show the view from […]

Having fun with Mobile Photography!

One of the advantages the mobile photography (i.e. taking photos with your mobile device) has over the classic photography with a DSLR is the level of creativity freedom you gain. Not only that you don´t have to get the beast out of the cage, set it up and perhaps change the lense… missing the moment… you […]
