Just one image: Homeland

View from surrounding hills down to hometown late evening. This is the header image of my tiny blog showing my hometown, as seen from the surrounding hills. The small peak on the horizon, right to the center is the inactive volcano Parkstein. This basalt cone was named the ‘most beautiful basalt cone in Europe’ by… Continue reading Just one image: Homeland

Just one image: Bayreuth and Richard Wagner seen through a Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon

Looking for Richard Wagner while strolling through Bayreuth. Bayreuth, a quaint town nestled in the heart of Germany, is renowned for its cultural heritage and its close association with the legendary composer Richard Wagner. I had the pleasure of experiencing the charm of Bayreuth and capturing its essence through the lens of a Carl Zeiss… Continue reading Just one image: Bayreuth and Richard Wagner seen through a Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon

Just one image: The Approach

While hunting for some beautiful flowers, a bee came along, passed my way and approached this incredible Wiesen-Storchschnabel / Geranium pratense. Image made with a Sony A7R2 and the famous Asahi Pentax Super Takumar 1.4/ 50mm (8-elements) In case you’d like to comment, it’s appreciated … and maybe, you want to visit my website or… Continue reading Just one image: The Approach

Hiking the Haselstein and the Center of Central Europe

On this hike I carried with me three cameras – maybe I should stay at one per hike only, as weight is always an issue. The film one was a Contax G2 with its Carl Zeiss Biogon 2.8/28mm attached. I loaded a Kodak Ultramax 400. After the second image the camera stopped working due to… Continue reading Hiking the Haselstein and the Center of Central Europe

Hiking the Waldnaabtal

On this hike I used two cameras. The film one was a Contax G2 with its Carl Zeiss Biogon 2.8/28mm attached. I loaded a Kodak Ultramax 400. The digital one was a Sony A7R2 with a M39 Voigtländer Color-Heliar 2.5/75mm attached. I loaded … a pretty cool sensor ;) The full album can be seen… Continue reading Hiking the Waldnaabtal

The Beauty and the Beast III

From time to time I take a picture showing two cameras side by side where I think it’s worth it. The first and the second image can be found here, showing two Canon bodies (a Canon EOS 3 vis-a-vis a Canon EOS 5D) and two Contax bodies (a Contax Aria vis-a-vis a Contax AX). This… Continue reading The Beauty and the Beast III

Homeland – Amaryllis

That day the weather was cold but sunny – at least  in the morning. Sun was coming in through the large windows and gave some beautiful lighting. This Amaryllis is going on now since Christmas and it’s still not at it’s end. As I’m currently experimenting with a Sony A7R2 and old glass, I had… Continue reading Homeland – Amaryllis

The Beauty and the Beast …

Some time ago I posted an image of two beautiful cameras – the Canon EOS 3 vs the Canon EOS 5D. Without all further comments, these two cams are beautiful tools from two different worlds – one analog and one digital. So similar on one side and so different on the other side. Some time… Continue reading The Beauty and the Beast …
