2020-07-01 MAN IN BARCELONA
The neon lights from subway stations, escalators, stainless steel, and night owls are the ingredients for cityscapes. For me, that combined with electronic music is the atmosphere of modern cities of the 21st century.

2020-06-19 TRAFFIC LIGHT ON GREEN IN BARCELONA
The traffic light on green and the motorcycles start groaning. I saw this scene at every crossing in Barcelona. And the bikes are always first, agile and fast, the best option to coming forward in a city.

2020-06-07 BARCELONA ARCHITECTURE
One of the many sites for modern architecture in Barcelona is the CaixaForum. I spent at least as much time outside for my photos as I did for the inside.

2020-06-01 THE OFFICE IN BARCELONA
When I walked around in the evening, I saw office workplaces between the mighty pillars on Placa d’Espanya. With the reflections of the buildings behind and the full columns, interesting perspectives have emerged. For me a kind of added creativity compared to standard snapshot photos.

2020-04-24 EVENING SPORTS IN BARCELONA
After turning into a few side streets, I saw this illuminated sports field, in the middle of the city, with a church in the background. I did not miss the opportunity to capture the scene in a photo. During the tour, I learned to appreciate the Leica X-Vario, very handy, and light also takes excellent photos in poor lighting conditions.

2020-04-17 GIRL ON THE ESCALATOR
A girl is coming up from the metro in Barcelona. One of the photos of my one-hour-photo tour I could do between two meetings. Even on a business trip, you can gain some time for your hobbies.

2020-04-06 BUS IN BARCELONA
On the way to the Placa de la Universitat, I got scared. I was watching on my camera, as suddenly a bus came along the secondary lane. I stopped immediately and remembered the selfie shooters who got an accident because they were staring at their phones. I used the situation and was waiting for a second bus—this time with the camera at the ready.

2020-02-19 STREET ACTION IN BARCELONA
I had one hour for street photography before my appointment at the Hard Rock Cafe in Barcelona. I nearly shot the battery of my Leica X Vario down, so many opportunities for shooting on the streets. On the photo is the dynamic of the cyclists. In the foreground a scooter. On the left a passenger in a hurry. Typical street action in Barcelona.

2020-02-06 PLACA DE LA UNIVERSITAT
It was only a short walking distance to the Plaza de la Universitat in Barcelona. I had about one hour until the invitation for dinner in the Hard Rock Cafe. What could be better than street photography? For my luggage, only minimal weight was allowed in the plane; I had my Leica X Vario with me. It did a great job. For faster photos and quick spots, I shot on A-mode with shutter and aperture and Auto ISO, I usually do it mostly manual. You have to adapt to the conditions to get the best out of the scenes. With steady action around you and limited time, these settings are preferable.

2020-02-01 MAN SITTING IN A BAR IN BARCELONA
I had two hours of spare time after the Cisco Live congress. After taking my camera from the hotel room and was shortly after that involved in street photography. I was walking up and down the “Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes” like crazy. Shooting through the windows of shops and bars brings you the reflections of the streets on the shop windows and the classical motive of a man sitting on a bar counter.
