2019-06-11 SILENCE ON A SUNDAY EVENING
Sundays afternoon are more silent than the other days in the week when evening approaches. A good synonym is the quiet river Wien with the yellow glowing lanterns. This is the typical evening atmosphere on Sunday evenings in Vienna.

2019-06-02 MY DAUGHTER ON THE ROOFTOP BAR
There are rare moments when I am on a rooftop bar with my daughter. I used the opportunity to take a photo with my Leica M-240. I nailed the focus relatively fast and got a beautiful picture with the smooth bokeh of the Summicron F2 50mm lens.

2019-06-01 NO, THAT’S NOT AMSTERDAM
In Vienna, I see more and more hemp-stores growing rapidly. The store’s location on the photo is the first district, where rental fees are very high. So it must be a good business. Since THC is not legal by now, most of the products are CBD-based. I tried a CBD-cake and can tell you very relaxing.

2019-05-29 GLAMOUR MANNEQUINS
The Swarovski store on the Kärtner Straße in Vienna represents itself with artfully crafted windows decorations. In a glamour-style, the mannequins show the high-level outfits, which should be the analogy to the famous Swarovski crystals. I think they change the ornaments at least quarterly, so always a good reason to have a look.

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.

2019-05-16 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.

2019-05-14 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.

2019-05-08 SPEED BIKER
The path at the Danube Canal in Vienna is a shared space, for walkers, roller skaters, and bikers. The speed bikers and the roller skaters are the most interesting to shoot. With my camera at the ready, I placed myself next to a tree at the wayside. When the next fast cyclists passed by I was ready. At slower shutter speed, I was able to capture the effect of the movement on the riders.

2019-05-06 MY SON SHOT WITH THE LEICA
At times, I visit coffee houses in Vienna with my family. There we taste the best espressos, and I usually have my Leica on the table. After a short time, I start with portrait photos, here with the Leica Elmarit 28mm 2.8 V4.

2019-05-04 THE BIG TUNNEL OF THE WIEN(RIVER)
The Wien(River) is not a real river, more like a broader creek. But the concrete river bed is colossal. The river flows through the middle of the city, through large tunnels. I went for a Sunday walk with my wife Karin in the city park. When Wien(River) I took the opportunity to shoot a few photos.
