2018-08-11   THE EVERLASTING CHURCH

After a building time for more than hundred years, and a prolonged end in the year 2026, the Sagrada Familia is one of the world wonders. With its unique architectural style from Antoni Gaudi, it impresses spectators from the whole world. I used a 3-hour spare time from a congress to visit the interiors. It wasn’t easy to decide, what to photograph first. So I started with my entry point and made a step by step tour, where I made panoramas, wide angle, low light, root top-photos from all kind of angels I could imagine.

2018-08-10   A CHARTERHOUSE FROM THE AIR

The Charterhouse Mauerbach near Vienna was a summer residence of the Habsburg monarchy. My drone flying permission is Monday through Friday from 8 am to 6 pm, and Saturday from 8 am to 2 pm. That’s Austrian law; I got the permission from the Austro Control, which is the authority for all flying objects, from balloons to airplanes. I took that flight on a Saturday. Outside Mauerbach I found a perfect starting place on a plateau with natural, flat stones – my start and landing place.

2018-08-09   HOUSES OF STOCKHOLM

I took the opportunity of the bus stop at a red traffic signal to shoot a photo of the houses in Stockholm. At my three-days stay, I took a Redline-Bus for sightseeing. I am eager to get a place on the open roof where I have elbow room for handling my camera and lenses and be flexible enough to catch streets, people, and buildings. Mainly it’s also helpful to give your feet some rest from the hot pavements in the cities.

2018-08-08   SHOPPING CENTER IN SINGAPORE

The shopping center has a water-canal inside, an architectural marvel with top-notch stores and excellent materials used for the interior accessories. I was standing on a bridge which connected to levels and placed my camera on the handrail to avoid camera shake. I can give you a tip, searching after a tripod replacement bears fruit often. Bars and pillars are perfect for this but are careful with concrete when placing a camera; it can scratch your camera ground.

2018-08-06   MOUNTAINS IN CARINTHIA

I was lucky that I could shoot the landscapes shots in Carinthia from an observation tower called Pyramidenkogel (pyramid-top). That was a good substitute for a helicopter (much more expensive) or a drone (you have to search after a place where flying is legal). I could turn to all four cardinal directions for my photos. I could catch many shots with my tripod, but the tourists brought the wooden floor into natural fluctuations, where I had to be careful when to shoot.

2018-08-05   WALKING MAN IN NIGHTLY VENICE

Often Venice provides photo motifs at each street and corner. The Italian architecture combined with the lightning and the mood of the city, a dream comes true for every photographer. From my hometown Vienna it’s about a five and a half hours drive with the car, mostly on freeways. So once a year I try to visit that beautiful city and to be ready to add some pictures to my photo collection.

2018-08-03   MOSQUE FROM THE INSIDE

For this photo, I took my wide angle lens, the Samyang (Rokinon) 14mm 2.8 AF E-Mount and my Sony A7S. This setup covered the panoramic roof, pillars, arcs, and ornaments of the Sheikh Zayed mosque in Abu Dhabi very well.

2018-08-01   BEACH NIGHT IN LANGKAWI

The Night Rainforest tour got a bit boring; it was walking around the hotel only, there ware the same animals, which I saw on my way to the room anyway. So I took the night in my own hands and went to the beach for a photo tour. The beach cafe was on my list; I took the photo hand-held with my feet in the warm seawater. With the great Sony A7S, night shots are no problem. At the end of the photo session, I went into the cafe for a cold drink.
