2019-11-14 THE SHOPS IN HONG KONG
I don’t know what they offer in their shops. I think it’s spices, special foods, vitamins and maybe sexual enhancers. However, I like the shop system and for me always worth a good photo.

2019-11-13 ALL THE TRAFFIC IN STOCKHOLM
I never got such a snapshot where all the traffic of a city is in one photo. Bus, public bus, tram, motorcycle, and the nose of a car, all that happened in Stockholm, shot from a Red Line Bus. These buses are often way better than walking. You are on a higher viewpoint and, therefore, get a more spectacular angle of view on the picture.

2019-11-12 SUNDAY EVENING
On Sunday, I tried a new camera/lens combination. I took my Sony A7S, the Gobe e-Mount to Leica R adapter, and the Leica Vario-Elmar R 35-70 F4 lens. It’s essential to get the right manual focus with the focus peaking function. When the focus is on, it’s getting a very nice combination for all lighting conditions. As thanks for my wife, I went to a Sunday afternoon tea. We chose a hotel on the Ringstraße in Vienna.

2019-11-11 THE CUBE IN AMSTERDAM
After I finished my photo tour in the Van Gogh Museum, I saw that cube only a few meters away. Reflections are usually a signal for photographers, be they lakes, puddles, or rivers. Also, in this case, I used the cube for the mirroring photo-technically.

2019-11-10 POPPIES IN BLOOM
My wife Karin and I were in the “Poppy-Village” Armschlag in the Waldviertel. You get noodles, marmalade, jam, chocolate – everything mixed with poppy seeds. The poppy trail shows dozens of different poppy varieties, and it was luck; all were blooming in full splendor.

2019-11-08 VAN GOGH MUSEUM IN AMSTERDAM
The Van Gogh museum is an architectural marvel. Some parts of the Van Gogh exhibition are turned into a multimedia experience with an in-depth analysis of the painter’s style mapped to illuminated parts of his pictures. Details of this building, like the stairway with the lights in the background, represent an exciting picture.

2019-11-07 MY WIFE IN ROTTERDAM
No, it’s not true that I am addicted to iPad and smartphones. Look at my wife; she takes any opportunity to look at the photo app, google maps, or What’s App. And my daughter, with her, you can add Instagram to the list. But for me, it’s my job as an IT Manager from an online entertainment company with 70% revenue from the mobile platforms.

2019-11-06 ALLEY IN JERUSALEM
Is Jerusalem the most exciting city in the world? I think so, walking around in the city, then you often believe that you are in a different world. The buildings, religions, history, and traffic merge for impressions you will never forget.

2019-11-05 THE FRENCH CHATEAU
When I was in the Medoc with my wife Karin, the daily tour was driving from Chateau to Chateau and shooting photos. A unique experience was seeing the extensive wine gardens where the Bordeaux wine grows. Every few kilometers, one Chateau follows after the other. Some offer wine tasting, those I liked most. 🙂

2019-11-04 MY DAUGHTER’S BIRTHDAY
The family was sitting in the Restaurant Plachutta. After order, before the food arrived, I was ready to take some birthday photos from my daughter Cara. Not the best light, but with the lens fully open and adjusted ISO no problem at all.
