2018-02-18 SHOP WINDOWS IN VIENNA
On one of my evening trips through the inner city of Vienna, I saw that correctly crafted shop windows. Such interior decors differ from the rest and are real art-pieces to look at. Always well for a photo which stands out from the traditional shopping street.

2018-02-17 FLOWERS IN SINGAPORE
Walking out of the ArtScience Museum I saw that little water lake with waterlilies. I placed my camera to focus on the flower, to get that blurry background of the buildings and the mirroring of the scene in the still water. I was lucky that I could catch the sunset during the golden hour. 🙂

2018-02-16 NARROW STREETS IN MALTA
Some of the older streets in Malta fit only for pedestrians or motor scooters. They are narrow and contorted; it’s a unique experience to walk through these city-parts and look at the entry-doors and shops. This photo shows a street near Mdina. There was a famous pastizzi shop very near, they baked fresh, and people were waiting in a long line to get that specialty.

2018-02-15 GARDENS OF THE BAY IN BLUE
You have to go up on the 6th floor of the Marina Bay Sands and walk over a bridge to the observation deck. Be sure to be there half an hour before the lightning spectacle starts. The place gets crowded very fast, and some minutes before the start, there is a bit a turmoil where everyone takes his smartphone or camera and positions for shooting. However, I could defend my place and got cool photos of that area in many different colors. 🙂

2018-02-14 OUTLOOK TO THE SHEIKH ZAYED ROAD
On the 26th floor of the Jumeirah Towers Hotel, you get that great outlook to the 8-lane Sheikh Zayed Road. It’s an auto lovers dream, an extravaganza of a super-highway. Since I had a rental car, it was a pleasure to drive on this road and looking at the buildings of Dubai.

2018-02-13 VENICE FROM CANALE GRANDE
Standing on the reeling of a water bus gives you great views when driving on the Canale Grande and looking at the buildings of Venice. I had my Sony A7S with me to capture the high-iso scenes with my best effort to keep the photos relatively clean, without too much noise or blurriness.

2018-02-12 MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
Some weeks ago I met with my brother and his girlfriend to visit a photography exhibition named “Mustangs in the wildlife,” presented by photographer Peter Baumann. I took the opportunity to make some shots from the museum halls, which represents a style like in magnificent castles. Taking the handrail of the balcony as a tripod replacement ensured that I could use low ISO in the dim lit rooms.

Walking along the pier in San Francisco I saw that little band bringing a melody to the spectators. It was some modern soul and blues with that quintet of singing ladies.

Armed with my DJI Phantom 4 Pro, I was walking about 4 miles uphill until I found a place, where it was safe to start the quadcopter. Trees and rocks were everywhere, I waited for a calm moment and launched a flight over the mountain chains. It was a bit troublesome; suddenly the DJI app showed me “Connection lost”:-o, the indicator bars were all red. My blood pressure raised. After 1-2 minutes the connection was regained, and I took a big breather, and my body temperature turned back to normal. 🙂 Finally, I got my shots.

After visiting the Singapore Night Zoo, a taxi driver brought us to the party mile of Singapore. A hip area, with dozens of clubs and restaurants. I got the tip to visit the Zouk Nightclub, cool music, and chilly disco. 😎
