2016-12-11 INSIDE LINCOLN ZOO

After a disappointing experience with a “highly recommended” breakfast restaurant in Chicago we were on the way back to our hotel as we crossed the Lincoln Zoo by accident. Outside you can explore a big biotope and inside animals of all kind. Even I have seen a silverback gorilla the first time in my life. The good thing, this zoo is absolutely free  🙂 For this shot I tried my Sony Fe 10-18 F4, which is my preferred wide angle lens.

2016-12-09 ALPINE BROOK NEAR ISCHGL

If you choose to take the way between Ischgl and Galtür by E-Bike or Nordic Walking you get rewarded with beautiful views of the mountain chains left and right of the valley. The way is very safe, no cars, you go beside alpine brooks and green willows. Often you can see sheep and cows, you can even visit an alpine zoo. And don’t forget, it’s really good for overall conditioning, the distance is about 10 kilometers (6 miles). 🙂

2016-12-08 MILAN IN THE NIGHT

We googled after the “little Venice” in Milan and then we took a Car2Go-Smart to get there. This is really cool, if you are a member of Car2Go you can use these cars in Milan in the same way as in your home town. It’s particularly useful with the limited parking spaces, with the Smarts it’s lot easier to find free spaces. 🙂

2016-12-07 AUTUMN TREES

Sometimes the occasion for a walk in the nature arises on a Sunday afternoon. The minimum technical gear I have with me is the iPhone, which often leads to photos of my walking destinations.

2016-12-06 SMART CITY

If I’m abroad and there is a possibility, I want to see tech cities like here in Malta. This one is called Smart City and is the home of Maltese Internet providers, data centers and high tech companies. I could get a visit at the BMIT data centre, this was absolutely cool, because it has been built with the support of Amazon.

2016-12-05 LOOKING AT THE SINKING SUN

Last weekend I visited my brother in the northern lower Austria region and it happened by accident that I could see that fantastic sunset. It was about minus 5 degree celsius, maybe that helped that the sky was absolutely clear. It looked like a glowing blaze on the horizon. I am happy that I had my Sigma 35 mm 1.4 Art lens with me  🙂

2016-12-03 HIGH ISO 65.000 VENICE

The circumstances were not the best for taking stills on a swaying water bus, rough sea, night and rain, crowded deck with pressing people, there was only one way to take photos – high ISO. Armed with the king of high ISO, the Sony A7S, it was possible to take shots under really unfriendly photographic conditions. Sony A7S is unbelievable.

2016-12-02 FRIENDLY MAN IN SEATTLE

On my way back to the W Hotel I took some street shots. There I saw that friendly man who was waving his hand as he saw that he will be on the photo. Seattle is a very nice town with very nice people. I am lucky that I get invitations from Microsoft for attending the ECB briefings, where I can learn and explore the newest technical stuff and development and in the spare time exploring the city and neighborhoods.  🙂
