The photo shows the view from the first floor of the visitor area of the Elbphilharmonie and offers a broad view of Hamburg. I wanted to combine this modern building with the vintage look of the Leica M8.

2020-12-27 THIS IS GERMAN INGENIEUR KUNST
The Elbphilharmonie is an example of outstanding German engineering. The concert hall has ingenious sound systems, matching rows of seats, and a great concert experience from all angles. I happened to get hold of 2 tickets without a reservation and could therefore see the concert hall from the inside.

The cliffs in Sylt end abruptly on a long sandy beach. Behind it, the North Sea reveals itself as far as the eye can see. Impressive clouds and light accompany the appearance of the northern sun. The sea is always in motion, a magnificent sight.

2020-12-12 MY WIFE IN THE ART GALLERY
Originally I wanted to visit the photo exhibition at the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg. It was closed for renovation, so I called the collection of German artists across the street. Well worth seeing, and I was also able to take good photos. My wife Karin was the model.

2020-12-05 YEAST DUMPLINGS AND STEAMED NOODLES
I recommend starting the walk on the harbor promenade with a curry sausage. For dessert, visit a candy stand where you get yeast dumplings with poppy seeds and plum jam or steamed noodles with jam and butter. Those are some of the many attractions on the harbor in St. Pauli, Hamburg.

2020-12-01 LEICA M8 IN GERMANY
I had my Leica M8 with me in Hamburg. Despite a full photo backpack, taking photos with the Leica was the most fun. The M8 is often underestimated because of its age, low megapixel number, and only low ISO values. But the photos are top-notch, and it’s always a pleasure to pick up this camera.

2020-10-21 EVENING IN SYLT
I was traveling with my wife Karin to a restaurant with famous fried fish on the menu. Google Maps showed us the way. On the way to the restaurant, I could see the hills behind me with the typical Sylt houses with the North Sea sun in the background. I had only my iPhone to hand and was able to capture a beautiful evening photo.
