2017-05-25 THE ART MILE OF STOCKHOLM

Want to see impressive underground art metro stations? Then visit Stockholm and begin with the Blue Line and station Kungsträdgården, a joy to look at it and get inspired 🙂 All you need is a metro ticket, which I bought with my Stockholm Pass which you get with a Public Transport ticket combined, thoroughly recommended. Higher ISO or a tripod are required, then feel free to shoot. For the passengers it’s not a problem at all to get on the photos, they are already accustomed to it. 🙂

2017-05-24 AERIAL PHOTOS ON A SATURDAY

On a Saturday 2 months ago, I asked my wife to accompany me at a drone shooting session. We drove about 20 minutes outside Vienna, where it was “safe” to fly, without interruptions of neighbors or residents. Only some farmers looked up from their tractors 🙂 I had to drive slow on the stony country lane; I tried to avoid that stones jump against my car. Then I found a wooden table and bank near some trees, which was placed there for hikers as a relaxing area, here I could unpack the DJI drone and started to fly.

2017-05-23 PLAYING MUSIC IN A CHURCH

When entering this church in St. Gallen I was surprised that it was empty and only two music students were at the altar, a woman playing a cello, a man playing the clarinet. My wife was sitting down in the front rows to listen, and I went back to take a photo of this scene. Another memory of Switzerland which I had in my pocket, beside chocolate and cheese. 🙂

2017-05-22 TRAIN LIKE IN A WESTERN

In my childhood days, the westerns were my favorites; I liked John Wayne, Burt Lancaster, and Robert Mitchum. This train in Huntsville, Canada with the train driver reminded me of these movies, also the railway station where the train took off, had that flair. I think I should go now and have a look if Netflix has “Rio Bravo” 🙂

2017-05-21 MASKS IN VENICE

Besides the unique architecture, the canals, the water buses, for what things does Venice stand for: the gondolas, the Murano glass and the masks of the Carnival. I entered a costume shop, and it was overwhelming, thousands of masks in all sizes, colors, and characteristics. Some look a little bit scary, some anonymous, some cover the half face, and others got surrounded by feathers. I have never been there at the Carnival, but once I should be. 🙂

2017-05-20 VIENNA TOWN HALL STREET LIGHTS

The Styria festival brought me to the town hall of Vienna. Some friends and my wife were with me; we tried the Styrian white wine name Grauburgunder, excellent, tastes like Chardonnay. Then the night has already arrived, and I took some high-ISO shots, like that with the street lights on a footpath up to the town-hall, a high building.

2017-05-19 CN TOWER IN TORONTO BY NIGHT

At my tripod “excursion” on the “swimming pool – rooftop” of the Toronto Radisson Blue hotel, I caught this night shot of the CN Tower. Beside of some water showers, I got on my back and feet, from people jumping into the pool, 🙂 it was a great shooting experience where I shot some night photos of Toronto. Since there was a second photographer with the same intention in mind, I had to share some space, but it was enough room and time to get what we wanted. 🙂

2017-05-18 ROCKS BETWEEN SNOW

After lunch at an alpine chalet, we did an outside walk through the valley on a mountain plateau near Filzmoos. There was about 1.5/5 m/f of snow at the wayside, some rocks loomed out of the snow beds, on the horizon a mountain range. The sun berthed against the clouds, a real nature spectacle. A good place for starting shooting with my Sony A7R II. 🙂

2017-05-17 THE ROCK OBSERVATION DECK IN NEW YORK

There are two great observation decks in New York, the Empire State Building, and the Rockefeller Center Deck. The Empire State is a bit higher, 86th floor, 320/1050 m/f compared to the Rockefeller “Top of the Rock” with 67th to the 70th floor, 259/850 m/f. On the Empire you are more in the center of Manhattan, the Rock shows you the central park if you look north. And the cool thing, both have outside decks. 🙂

2017-05-16 WOODLAND FROM METAL

Red crystals, stainless steel trunks, steel wool – ingredients for a woodland? In the Swarovski Crystal World, this phenomenon exists 🙂 , designed by contemporary artists like Cao Perrot, Kwangho Lee and others; you will visit an area full of inspiration and modern chic. I lost my companions two times minimum because I was so busy taking photos. I would plan minimum half a day for this great experience.
