2020-01-22 THE EYE OF THE BMW
The most voluminous and powerful car at the Vienna Motor Show was the new BMW X6M. I shot a photo of the eye of this muscle SUV with 625hp. This car is not for everyone, with a price of € 235.000,–. 🙂

2020-01-19 PHOTO ESSAY: TIME TO VISIT A MARKET
My son and I often announce a visit to a market on Saturday afternoons. Most of the time, we want to visit a kebap stand because to get our lunch. For this, we decide to go either to the Naschmarkt or to the Kutschkermarkt. A camera is always with me. Last Saturday, the decision was made on the Kutschkermakrt, and I decided to take the Leica X-Vario with me. The lens is one of the best Leica lenses ever made.

2020-01-17 VIENNA FROM THE FLAK TOWER
The “House of the Sea” lies in one of the Flak Towers in Vienna. My wife and I visited the marine exhibition there with my brother’s niece. In the end, we came to the roof terrace with a broad view of Vienna. I was able to take some great city shots with a panorama of houses and thick, dark clouds.

2020-01-13 THE WAY OF THE LIGHT
One hour before sunset, I often take city photos. When the first street lamps get turned on, and you can see that the sky gets more and more gloomy. That’s the perfect atmosphere for where the older buildings and the lights get an ideal harmony of the passing day and the starting night — the prime time for a photographer.

2020-01-12 MY WIFE IN FRONT OF THE OPERA
My Sunday-afternoon photo walk brought us on the terrace of the Albertina Museum in Vienna. There you get a beautiful view of the opera building from a higher level. I placed my Leica Summicron 50mm lens via the Novoflex adapter on my Sony A7s. With the excellent manual focusing feature, I could catch some portrait-bokeh shots from my wife, Karin.

2020-01-10 A GOOD IDEA, TO ALWAYS WEAR A CAMERA
On a Saturday evening between the Christmas holidays, I spent with my wife Karin a couple of hours in the bar Motto in Vienna. I shot a still-life of a wine glass with the beautiful bokeh of the Leica Summilux lens. For me, always interesting to bring everyday objects to life under a new perspective.

2020-01-07 ON THE WAY TO THE CINEMA
Even with the vast offer of Netflix and Amazon Video, I like to go to the cinema. Since I grew up with the cinema, where the TV program was limited, I like the feeling of sitting in the broad chairs looking at the big screen and waiting for the film to start. On the photo is the entry of the Gartenbau-Kino in Vienna.

2020-01-05 MARKET IN GOOD OLD VIENNA
New markets are constantly being found in the popular “Am Hof” square. After Christmas came the New Year’s market, which is then replaced by a farmers’ market. I like going there with my wife on a Sunday, you get delicious snacks and the area is always good for a photo shooting.

2019-12-31 TOWN HALL PARK IN VIENNA
After the weekend purchases at the food market Naschmarkt, we stopped at the town hall park. I enjoy half our walking and getting fresh air on a Saturday afternoon. My son Maro was with me, and he had the patience to pose for some photos. I tried to get the face lighted with different artificial lights coming from an advertising sign and a colorful street lamp.
