2017-05-15  MOSQUE IN ISTANBUL II

After taking off my shoes at the signed area at the entrance of the mosque, I went in and was astounded again of the atmosphere and the architectural artworks. I was entirely free to take my photos. And I noticed how many believers were inside during the day, compared to the Christian churches, which are most of the time empty if there are no holy masses.

2017-05-14  THE YELLOW MEADOW

Last weekend we made a trip with our Vespa to the “Lainzer Tiergarten,” a big area of greeneries and wood and some free-living boars and deer. With my luck, I didn’t see any animals, my wife saw a snake, but only for some seconds. 🙂 This meadow with thousands of dandelions was an eye-catcher, and one of the dozens of photos I took.

2017-05-13  RIVER IN TICINO WITH OVERSIZED GRAVEL

This River in Ticino, Switzerland, was a refreshing experience. The water was cold, there were even warning signs, that this cold water could harm your health if you have problems with your bloodstream. I waded through the river, water only until knee height, my lower feet got numb immediately. 🙂 The stones which were spread all over the river looked like oversized gravel stones. 🙂

2017-05-12  TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY

The invitation to a business dinner brought me to the 8th floor of the Haas House in Vienna, built by the architect Hans Hollein. From there you have a panorama view of the Stephansplatz, Graben and Carinthian Street. Since I had only the iPhone with me, I took the opportunity to do an evening shot of this building on the Graben.

2017-05-11  GLACIER DACHSTEIN

The cool thing with the glaciers is the snow with winter scenery on the peak, while in the valley you have warm to hot temperatures and could go swimming in a lake. The last time I experienced this was at the “Hoher Dachstein” a glacier with 2995 m, skiing on the top, spring in the valley. From my point of view, I had a great impression of the whole mountain chain.  🙂

2017-05-10  SWEET DISHES IN TOKYO

This showcase contained delicious, appetizing sweet dishes, formed fancifully. It was an eye-catcher looking at it, and the taste was excellent. It’s always a good idea, to present food in a pleasing way to one’s eyes.

2017-05-09  DRONE FLYING IN TYROL

A wild river, snowy trees, high mountains – ideal for a drone flight. In Ischgl, Tyrol I found all these ingredients at one place and was eager after breakfast to move to that location and start filming. I verified that the SD cards and batteries were in the bag. At the site, I placed the iPhone of my wife onto the Zhiyun Smooth II gimbal. I can thoroughly recommend that gimbal, it holds the phone steady, and it is easy to handle. 🙂 Then filming started, and I took my DJI Phantom 4 Pro out of the box.

Have a look at the video with the starting procedure:

 

The flying experience:

 

The landing, I had to be very careful, “Return to home” function didn’t work, because of the high trees, I did the process manually:

2017-05-08  ILLUMINATED BUILDINGS IN NICE

Walking on the Promenade Des Anglais during the evening and in the night shows you many illuminated buildings. Those give a cool look; often the palm trees are lightened too, this all adds to the popularity of the Cote d’Azure. On the promenade you see many street musicians and instant-portrait-painters which do a great job, they can paint a  portrait of you, only with a carbon pencil. If you wish the style can be realistic or if you choose funny, then the picture looks like a face from a photo morphing program. 🙂

2017-05-07  COUPLE SITTING DOWN IN CAFE

I spent about 1 hour in the Cafe Castelletto in the first district of Vienna. From time to time I like to take an energy drink with ice, so I ordered a Red Bull. Occasionally I took some shots of the sceneries, as here with this old couple which was taking place at the table. I tried to do the photos unobtrusive. 🙂

2017-05-06  HOTEL IN NEW DELHI

The Le Meridien was an impressive hotel, built like a four-sided farmyard in bigger style. It was about 3 am as we arrived in New Delhi.  Even during that time, middle of the night, there were about 20 people of hotel staff around, helping with entry control, the luggage, the check-in, the elevators and showing the room. I was lucky that I had already changed some money at the airport, for the tips. 🙂
