2018-05-16   WATER SHOW IN DUBAI

One of the exciting events in Dubai is the water show near the Burj Khalifa. I think it starts at about 7 pm and is a great spectacle. I started with a tripod and was rejected by a guardian immediately, then I had to switch to handheld shooting.

2018-05-15   BURGGARTEN IN THE LATE AFTERNOON

The Burggarten in Vienna is a park for chilling out on the lawn, driving with skateboards or having a good time with a simple walking session between high broadleafs which spend shadows during the afternoon heat. For a break, you can visit a lounge where you get cold Aperol Sprizz.

2018-05-14   EDINBURGH THROUGH CASTLE WINDOW

Walking around in Edinburgh Castle I tried different compositions and sceneries at my photography tour. Here in the photo, I shot through a castle window with the city on the ground. Shooting from such high places replaces drone flying and brings you aerial shots without too much effort.

2018-05-12   NIGHT IN THE CITY OF PRAGUE

Walking through cities in the night is one of my hobbies. I like the lights in different colors, the illuminated buildings and some cafes and bars where I can walk in for a drink. In one hand a camera, over the shoulder the second camera and always ready to catch some pictures. At the same time, I have to be an entertaining companion for my wife. 🙂

2018-05-11   SCHLUMBERGER CHAMPAGNE CELLARS

Although I live very near, I never visited the wine and champagne cellars of Schlumberger champagne producer factory. A unique experience walking through the vaults, built from thousands of bricks. After the exhibition, you get a glass of champagne, which is included in the entry ticket.

2018-05-10   SHEIKH ZAYED MOSQUE IN THE NIGHT

This was the last photo of my session at the Sheikh Zayed mosque. I was impressed by the lighting of the towers and domes. At the exit I took my belongings form a safe and my wife gave back the veil. We went to the parking place and took our way back to Dubai. Even on the highway, I saw many illuminated mosques which were fascinating, I will come back for sure.

2018-05-09   UNDER A BRIDGE IN LITTLE VENICE LONDON

Little Venice in London is worth a visit, its unique boats and canals bring some variety to the urban jungle. On the riverside are cool bars and restaurants. I even found a bar on a boat where I had a pint of cider.

2018-05-08   CAFE MUSEUM IN VIENNA

Vienna is famous for its cafes which often represent old-fashioned stylings of the interiors. Wooden walls, seat covers soft as velvet, and tables with marble tabletops. The coffee is a matter of taste, I prefer the short and strong Italian espresso, there are only few coffee houses which offer this sort of coffee. A good tip is to look at the coffee machine, if they have an instant-coffee-machine, then avoid it.
