2018-04-08   A PLACE TO REST IN PRAGUE

After the long walk through Prague Castle, you can take a seat at those white park benches. The location is short before the exit on the left, the direction to the Prague Castle Cafe, where you have to climb some stairs upwards and then you reach that area. It’s always interesting to find some spots which are not on the usual tourist walks.

2018-04-07   TOWER IN AMSTERDAM

Amsterdam, the bicycle city, with skewed houses, the canals, the bridges and the coffee shops. I would recommend renting a bike then you can plunge more in-depth into the Amsterdamer street life. You’ll profit from the many bicycle-highways, the faster arrival at the sights and the joy of doing exercise in fresh air. If you stop for a coffee or cold drink, don’t forget the bike lock, you’ll find it on any parked bike, often it’s built from solid iron-chains.

2018-04-06   HOUSES IN THE CITY PRAGUE

The symmetric house-fronts with the orange-ocher or brown colors are typical for Prague. I took the photo from the end of the Charles Bridge, after which you come into the old town.

2018-04-04   INSIDE A HOTEL IN PRAGUE

Prague is a city with unique characters, have a look at the bridges, streets, buildings, and hotels. A picturesque scenery, where you won’t give your camera out of hand. I took this photo on the first floor of the Hotel Imperial, the levels have thick carpets, the doors to the room and the door-frames consist of massive wood. Windows are in art nouveau – style.

2018-04-03   SHOPPING CENTER IN SINGAPORE

This shopping center was near the Art and Science Museum in Singapore, a massive building with impressive architecture. Again I could use a parapet of the railing to place my Sony A7R II without a tripod. Ramparts are a solid tripod replacement which many shopping centers “offer.” Often these centers are an architectural marvel from which you should make a photo. Mostly the indoor lights are a bit dim, so the camera placement is essential to avoid blurry images.

2018-04-02   SAILING ON A STEPPE-LAKE

Lake Neusiedl has a size of about 315 km2 (122 sq mi), and the lake is no more than 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in) deep. It’s very popular with sailers and kite-surfers. At the shores you can find lake-restaurants, cafes and beaches to chill out and look at the flat surface of the lake.

2018-04-01   HEATHER END OF WINTER

The last remnants of the winter, snow on the scrawny grass, fog and cold wind gusts over a heather west of Vienna. You can feel that these are the last breathers of the winter before the spring season starts. I took that panorama-photo with my small Nikon Coolpix A (the pocket DSLR) and stitched the original three photos in Photoshop. Initially, it was planned to fly with my DJI drone. But a light drizzle prevented my intend, so I stayed with the standard hand-held shots.

2018-03-31   CHARLES BRIDGE IN PRAGUE – THE PHOTO HOT SPOT

The most famous photo hot-spot in Prague is the Charles Bridge and its surroundings. You should try to get upstairs into one of the towers; there you can take the shots from above. Be careful with your time; they close at about 8 pm. I was lucky, that not too many tourists were on their way. I wouldn’t recommend a standard tripod because the place is limited on the towers. A mini-tripod is enough; you can place it between the embrasures and keep the camera better under control. The worst what could happen will be if a passenger brushes the tripod during a multi-exposure shot.

2018-03-30   MARKET IN ROME

I arrived in Rome at 7:30 am, my appointment at the authority AAMS was not before 11 am. I visited a stand-up cafe bar where I took an espresso and ate an Italian vanilla croissant, which had that typical harmonic taste. The rest of my spare time, I used to wander through an Italian market, where you got all, from vegetables to bags, from books to clothing. After some rounds, I was ready to attend my business meeting, doped up from all the coffee.
