A short poem … At the break of dawn, a legend we chase, To find where the colors of the rainbow embrace. Its end, a mystery, a treasure untold, A story of wonder, a tale to be unfold. With skies of azure and sun’s gentle ray, We set forth on a quest to find our… Continue reading Just one image: At the End of the Rainbow

Just one image: Morning Mist and Sun Rise
Continuing my AI-supported fun journey about Morning Mist and Sun Rise. In the golden realm where sun meets sky,A landscape draped in morning mist,Ancient cameras capture the glinting eye,As the world awakens, gently kissed. The air is hushed, a tranquil scene,Where whispers dance on dew-kissed grass,Old lenses, secrets they convene,To paint this magic as time… Continue reading Just one image: Morning Mist and Sun Rise

Just one image: Road Signs
On one of our bike tours through the beautiful Upper Palatinate countryside, every now and then you find this sign in the middle of nowhere, indicating that you can call a bus by phone. Since you can call a bus like a cab (taxi), it’s simply called BAXI. This is how country bumpkins like us… Continue reading Just one image: Road Signs
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

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
Contax G1 with a Zeiss Planar 2/45mm
This time a beautiful Contax G1 found its way to me, accompanied by three legendary Zeiss lenses. All parts are in good shape, so let’s see what comes out when the first film is pushed through. On the one side, the Contax G-System (i.e. the G1 and even more its sibling the G2) is said… Continue reading Contax G1 with a Zeiss Planar 2/45mm
Hiking the Burgruine Weissenstein
Between the years we were hiking to the Burg Weissenstein in the Upper Palatinates Stonewood Forest. During a snowstorm, in a winter wonderland, we found the Burg covered by an ice shield. This area is one of my favorite hiking regions during all seasons. All images were taken with the highly appreciated Ricoh GR II.… Continue reading Hiking the Burgruine Weissenstein
Contax Aria and Yashica ML 2.8/24mm
A first film found its way into my Contax Aria – an Agfa Vista 400. As lens I used a Yashica ML 2.8/24mm. The Contax Aria is a beautiful piece of technology and one of the last SLR models from Contax. Technical specs can be found here, so there’s no need to duplicate them. And… Continue reading Contax Aria and Yashica ML 2.8/24mm
