2017-03-06 ICE SKATING WITH SUN STAR

While my daughter was on the ice skating ground I took some photos of the skaters and the area. It was before noon, the sun already warmed this winter day. I had a set of prime lenses with me. This photo was taken with the Sony Distagon T* 24mm F” SSM and the Sony LA-EA3 adapter which works great with the Sony A7R II.

2017-03-05 HOTEL LOBBY IN COLD WINTER

As I visited Velden in Carinthia I often did a nightly walk, where I saw this warm light of a hotel lobby. It was a contrast to the cold outside temperatures with frozen grass and trees, and white breathing air which came from our nose and mouth. For my camera this temperature did nothing, it worked perfectly. 🙂

2017-03-04 VINES IN FEBRUARY

On my way home from the birthday party of my brother, I spotted this cool sky. I decided to make a short iPhone photography session with sky and vines and some walking around. In the evening when I continued going home, this sky turned into pink and orange, and again I took my iPhone for some shots. 🙂

2017-03-03 BIG BUILDING IN CHICAGO

Wow, so many windows. A hard job for a window cleaner  🙂  One of the many buildings in Chicago which are worth to take a photo. I have shot hundreds, because of this I neglected my wife a bit, but we visited some cool coffee bars for compensation.  🙂

2017-03-02 GANDHI MEMORIAL DELHI

Our friendly taxi driver/tour guide brought us to the parking lot reserved for the memorial visitors. He always took a nap in the car, while we visited the sights 🙂 . Raj Ghat is located in a beautiful park landscape, after a short walk, you see the buildings of the monument. You have to put off your shoes and then walk on green mats to the memorial. It’s a silent and prayerful place, and you should take some time to remember Mr. Gandhi.

2017-03-01 HOTEL ON THE MOUNTAIN

This spa hotel is embedded between rocks and conifer forests. For those who are looking for rest and silence far away from bigger cities and traffic, that’s the right place.

I didn’t stay there, visited the lobby only… From this angle, it was a good test for my DJI Phantom 4 Pro  🙂

2017-02-28 VENICE FROM THE WATER BUS

Although the cruise with the water bus lasted about 45 minutes, I spent the whole time on the deck outdoors. It was very cold and windy, I had my wool gloves on from which I capped the fingertips that I could hold my camera better. It was the Sony A7S, “King of low light”, which I needed for that shots, because to place a tripod was not possible on the water bus. 🙂

2017-02-27 AUSTRIAN TUSCANY

There are many similarities between the Wachau and the Tuscany. One concise resemblance are the terraces for the vines which are built from natural stone, often by hand, which is very hard work, because it’s impossible to place construction machines there. Beside the wine, the Wachau is also renown for apricots.

2017-02-26 DIM LIGHT IN HONG KONG

If you hear Hong Kong, many think about the world famous skyline, the old junk boats and the ferry. For me there are also those little Chinese shops in dim light which make this city. They offer excellent food or spices, health products, dried fruits and cool drinks.

2017-02-25 DUTCH PIRATE SHIP

In Amsterdam you should try to get a bike very soon. This city is built for cycling, and for exploring the streets, canals, sights – there is no better way. And suddenly you will get some unexpected impressions, like here,  looking at a pirate ship  🙂
