Wonderfully overcast sky – something I had feared in earlier days, associating it with dull pictures (which I made inevitably, even if only to fulfill prejudice) – presented me that graceful transition of sea into sky. I hope I didn’t miss too many dust spots. Back at home I will try to get it printed.…
Krk, Croatia Alas, no female silhouette available here. Robert Adams image of that brick house Denver 412. I tried to find the image on the internet, but was not lucky.
Andreas certainly is right: once you learn the square, it comes natural. This again was made with the SLR.
Different kind of square here, only in the windows. But as I wanted to capture the play of light as well as those two tubes, the classic Leica 3:2 aspect ratio was suitable here.
Until I had bought the LX3, I had felt quite handicapped when trying to compose square images without any guidelines in the viewfinder. As I feel a certain affinity for that aspect ratio, most images with the LX3 I created in that mode. In the bright mediterranean light, the LX3 without EVF is no joy…
I just had spotted the flower pots on the AC units placed on those balcony remnants, when…
Using the SLR for street photography is always somewhat frightening, as the shutter sound is *loud* when heared from near. I hope that my subjects know that noise diminuishes with the square of the distance.
The main ingredients for successful holidays are: mainly blue sky and reasonably high temperatures, bars and coffee shops, and not to many tourists (myself excluded, of course). Krk at pentecost offers all this, adding pre-roman, roman and venetian walls and houses plus excellent seafood. Content? Well, almost. My eyes are a bit restless, trying to…
We made our way to Krk ahead of the moving traffic jam, taking advantage of our location between the large population centers and our holiday destination. All went well, the steep non-tarred access road to our trailer’s winter storage being the only minor last minute obstacle. Meanwhile we’ve set up camp and start relaxing –…
Not the most inviting kind of lounge. If all goes well, the next post will be from the island of Krk, again.
When I read Carl Weese’s post here, I immediately remembered a similar event in 2007. Funny thing is that both the boys and I were native German speakers. But in Salzburg everybody strolling around with a camera seems to wear that invisible “tourist” badge, and tourists usually come from abroad. So those cool Salzburg youngsters…
Despite the recently acquired LX3 I still do enjoy my SLR, like here with a long focal length. The two cameras instill different ways of photography, sometimes enforce them due to their limitations (namely composing on a display instead of a viewfinder, especially in bright light), but it’s not that one could rule out the…
Today many countries in Europe celebrate “Father’s Day”. Whilst I am not inclined to follow tradition so much as to sit with other fathers on a charriot, sing and get drunk, I was even more surprised and delighted to get a father’s day present of one of my twin daughters: a small portfolio of her…
The June wallpapers are here, as usual. This month’s image was made in the ‘Pinakothek der Moderne’ in Munich, which has a wonderful collection of contemporary design, too. And they don’t forbid photography in the museum (without flash of course) which in a certain way reconciled me with the high entrance fee. 10,- € might…
Commuting this morning I saw a companion piece for Tyler Monson’s “Coach”.
The appropriate image for a sunday. When looking at it, I am pondering the question how they paid the royalities for using this intellectual property. I mean, in times of those anti-democratic ACTA negotiations and treaties, you become quite vulnerable if you get caught with a brand you don’t own.
