After six flights, a few ferry rides and about 2000km in the car we are back from the Lofoten, Norway. We had some nice and eventful weeks in the arctic from mid-august to mid-september but the weather was kind of strange and a bit odd. The first days we had a good mix of rain and clouds but then we often only had completely grey skies and flat light or blue bird skies without any clouds. Not quite optimal for landscape photography. But since it was not a pure photo motivated and dedicated tour we nevertheless enjoyed this trip and seeing this breathtaking Lofoten landscapes with our ... Continue reading →

Rundwanderung Hohnekamm bei Drei Annen Hohne Notice: To all non-german speaking of you; I write the trip-reports done in Germany in german but all upcoming international trip-reports will be written in english. Zum Ende des Sommers, als es nicht mehr so arg warm war, hatte ich Lust mal wieder die Wanderung am Hohnekamm zu den Leistenklippen zu gehen, die Aussicht zu genießen und ein paar neue Fototechniken auszuprobieren. Am Startpunkt der Wanderung, am Parkplatz bei Drei Anne Hohne angekommen, genoss ich ersteinmal die frische Luft und den Duft der Wälder. Nach ... Continue reading →

Während unseres Aufenthalts in Davos im Sommer 2012 war die Wanderung entlang der Jöriseen ein Muss für mich. Schon bei meiner Locationrecherche mit Google Maps und Earth im Vorfeld der Reise sind mir die Seen durch ihre Farbe und Lage aufgefallen und haben mich fasziniert. Da wollte ich unbedingt hin und das mit eigenen Augen sehen! Initial aufmerksam geworden auf die schöne Gegend und die Alpenstrasse Flüelapass bei Davos-Klosters bin ich durch die britische Sendung TopGear, obwohl das zugegebener Maßen nicht mein Standardweg ist ...

When we visited Rome a few weeks ago I had to realize that my current travel photo-backpack is not designed for long walks with heavy weight. In Rome we walked for hours each day and over 45km overall in three days. At the end of the second day my back hurts so bad that I could hardly move anymore. So the next day I only packed the absolute minimum equipment to carry through the city. Of course that day I missed a shot I could have nailed with another lens which I left in the hotel due to its weight. Of course I don't want this to happen again, hence this article. When I planed and packed ... Continue reading →

On sunday night we returned from a short trip to the eternal city, Rome in Italy. It was a nice trip and we were lucky with the weather from a touristic and a photographic point of view. No bluebird skies but also no rain. We walked about 45km through the city, did some shopping, had nice food and saw lots of the sights of Rome like the famous Colloseum, Forum Romanum, Piazza Venezia, Fontana di Trevi, Piazza di Spagna, Pantheon, Piazza Navuno, Villa Medici, Piazza Popolo, Place de Republica and of course the Vatican with the breathtaking huge Basillica di San Pietro and climed the Capulo ...
