Summer Reminiscence
The first cold autumn day with temperatures not much over 6° C makes looking at summer pictures a somewhat melancholic activity. But this one I like for its supernatural impression.
Opportunity Crossing
This image I made back in July. Besides that I fact that I like it, it may serve the purpose to illustrate why I hold my standard zoom in high esteem: My standard focal length would be more in the 35-50mm-e range. When this Muslim lady walked by, there would have been no chance to…
Power Bull
This time of the year is the tradition-enriched return of livestock from high alpine summer pastures, where it had spent the summer. As traditions tend to get transferred (and modified in that process), outside of the Berchtesgaden valley, this probably newly acquired tractor truck was decorated like the lead cow on occasion of the livestock…
Lonely Ladder
I am working my way towards primes, and how to get to love them. Besides some remembrances of the past and the prospect of superior image quality (difficult as my standard zoom is well-renowned Carl Zeiss 16-80) and of course the possibility to use faster lenses, it is, well, demanding. Not so much the fact…
Boats
Just some shapes and colors for today, which found during our last bathing excursion to Thumsee (already quite cold it is, with autumn so near). I had brought the old Minolta 1.4/85mm lens, which I love very much for the soft transition into the unsharp, also in this image. Despite being something purely technical, I…
Thumsee Ripples
Crooked Branch
Shaken Beliefs
9/11 is a sad anniversary for all humankind. My deepest compassion is with all that have lost a loved one in these tragic events.* That religion gets abused to justify large scale slaughter was and is nothing new, and naive is everybody who believes that humankind has overcome this stage. That the native country of…
For Whom The Bell Tolls
Among the campers you find all kinds of preferences, sometimes also for the not so obvious things like this big wall clock. The image seem simple, however it took me to attempts to get enough evening sky and details in the lighted areas, and in the end I had to resort to a layer to…
Late Night Encounter
Not that the LX3 would be *the* camera I chose for low-light work, but it is possible. I truly despise public relation monsters like the MEGA O.I.S. name that Panasonic gave the image stabilisation mechanism, but I have to state that it works: a quarter of a second handheld yielding in sufficient sharpness for sure…

Frying Battery
Glass Reflections
Sober Facade
Tires/Tired
I know it’s a bad thing to spy at people through a long lens – Tyler, you know, this girlwatcher type 🙂 – and I won’t repeat it in the next time. But when framing this image I mainly saw the size proportions of person and tires and that round/square contrast. Only afterwards on the…
Wet Reflection
On my last day in Krk there was an occasion to photograph reflections in the harbour, as the winds had pushed all dirt into a remote corner of the basin. The image above stood out during the first culling, the others remain to be inspected more thoroughly. The colourful dots are the reflection of a…
September Wallpapers
After a long trip back home and a good night’s sleep I finally managed to update the blog: Here are the September wallpapers for your kind perusal. Maybe they can keep the feeling and smell of summer alive into Autumn.
Conditioned Krk – My SoFoBoMo 2011 Book
Just in time I managed to finish and upload my SoFoBoMo 2011 photobook, aptly titled Conditioned Krk for the countless air condition units it features. Those creepers have been subjects of a number of pictures I posted from Krk, and this year I’ve used the opportunity of SoFoBoMo’s fuzzy month and my summer holidays to…
Unused Door
Loriot Tot – Loriot Dead
This week, one of Germany’s greatest humorists has died. The man on the beach is reading the most disreputable German boulevard newspaper ‘Bild’ (my keyboard cringed when I typed the word ‘newspaper’ in this connotation), which is famous for its large-letter black and red titlepage, with the sad news shouted at the reader.

House And Boat
For an old seafarer tribe as the people from the island of Krk, the boat certainly was as dear as cars are now. So it’s not astonishing to see normal boats, not the leasure type, next to many houses.
