2019-05-21 MY WIFE SHOT WITH THE LEICA

Since I own the Leica M240 I’m inclined to do portrait photos favorably with this camera. Combined with the Summicron 50 F2 lens, it gives you beautiful colors and smooth bokeh. Often I wonder, what to do in post-processing. Pictures are so good, that you can use OOC (out of the camera) more often, then with any other camera, I know.

2019-05-20 SUNSET IN BARCELONA

The warm sunset fills your body, I loved this evening walk back to the hotel. These 2 miles brought me the sunset, great architecture and the streets with the motor-bikers. From time to time I stopped for a photo or a coffee. A mini adventure which I wouldn’t miss.

2019-05-17 THE STREETS OF BARCELONA

The warm climate and the sheer speed are the reasons why so many motor-scooters are on the move on the streets of Barcelona. It’s easy to maneuver around the waiting cars and get at the pole positions at the stop lines before the traffic lights. Spain and Italy are the classic countries with more motorcycles and scooters on the street than cars.

2019-05-16 ART MUSEUM IN VIENNA

I made this snapshot with my Sony A7R 2 and the Novoflex adapter for Leica M. I used the Elmarit 28mm 2.8 V4 lens, a great companion for the Sony camera. I wondered how excellent the image performance is. No weak points with this combo, however, be aware, that you cannot use autofocus. But with the (red) focus peaking manual focus works flawlessly.

2019-05-15 TOKYO VENDING MACHINE

One of the fascinating things in Tokyo was the vast amount of vending machines. I used them frequently, buying cold coconut- or aloe vera-drinks — the perfect break for a photography session. I also liked the non-sweetened ice tea. In Europe mostly you get sweetened soft drinks in the vending machines, which is not suitable for me as a fitness-oriented guy.

2019-05-14 MY WIFE SHOT WITH THE SONY 135 A-MOUNT

It was a Saturday afternoon at dusk when I was at the roadside with my Sony A7R 2, LA-EA4 adapter and Sony Zeiss 135mm 1.8 lens. The model was my wife, Karin. I wanted to reach a beautiful bokeh, made up of street lights and car headlights.

2019-05-13 BUDDHA IN NEW YORK

I would never have seen the Buddha if the bus had not stopped at a red light and I had not sat on the first floor. I took the opportunity to capture a picture of the beautiful Buddha. For great photo experiences always keep your eyes open.

2019-05-12 ROMAN EMPIRE AQUEDUCT PONT DU GARD

It paid off that we took the extra mile to Pont du Gard in Southern France. This aqueduct was one of the highlights of the trip to France. It so happened that I was standing in front of it for the Golden Hour. The sunlight reflected in the arches with a golden glow. I wondered if the architects had planned it that way?

2019-05-11 TOKYO TICKET COUNTER FOR SKYTREE

After entering the entrance area to the Tokyo Skytree, we saw at first glance that we did not have to wait long. Luckily, the guide warned against long lines. Shortly after that, we were able to take the high-speed elevator to the observation deck.

2019-05-10 CITY OF PRAGUE WITH JET IN THE SKY

Uber took us to this part of the city; a commendable burger bar was there. After my son Dorian and I had eaten a Portobello burger, we were still looking for a cafe. I then took pictures of this unknown part of the city, which is mostly forgotten by the photographers. I think this combination of the TV tower and modern building a successful mix.
