Photo sessions in autumn often lead to pictures with the different colors of the trees and leaves, like here in front of my house. Having three birch trees in the dooryard brings us aplenty leaves on our pavement. It’s like a Sisyphus-work to take a broom or our electrical garden vacuum to remove the leaves, two or three days later you have the same view again 🙂
I am a fan of Japanese gardens and I’m lucky that there is one, which is named “Setagayapark”, near my home. Setagaya is a district in Tokyo and is a partner-district of Döbling in Vienna. So I used a Sunday afternoon to visit this park and have a look at the trees, bushes and leaves in the autumn.
With the help of lights and the night I got three different blue-colors, the dark blue sky, the light blue bridge and the blue river mixed with mirrored light from different sources. For this photo I was standing on a bridge near the Schwedenplatz.
Sometimes in the evening I grab my photo equipment, get up and look after a good place on a higher plateau and start to take photos of my hometown. Here on this photo you see the district Döbling of Vienna, this is where I live.
In Vienna you can choose to visit many buildings from emperor or king epochs. One of my favorites is the Albertina, beneath exhibitions of great painters you can visit the muses hall, like here on the photo, and other interesting rooms and saloons. Since no tripod is allowed, you have to give your best handheld. 🙂
In Vienna it’s relatively easy to get the highest buildings on a single photo. There are only three with a significant height, the Donauturm, the DC tower and the Millenium tower. For this I tried the panorama modus on my Sony A7R with the Zeiss 135 1.8 ZA.
One of the landscapes I liked most in “Lord of the Rings” were the misty mountains. I haven’t been to New Zealand yet but I did a shot of misty mountains in Vienna, though not so cool as the originals I like the photo. Shot with the Sony Zeiss SAL 135 1.8.
I am completely unaware if this has been made from a big brick or block of stone and crafted with hammer and chisel or a mason helped out and took a trowel and added concrete in an artfully way. However it looks good and represents the king of all animals.
Schönbrunn is one of the most photographed sights in Vienna. So I tried to take a photo from a bit unusual place, across the street on my knees in squat position in twilight. I used my Sigma 35mm 1.4 with the LA-EA4 adapter on my Sony A7R.
Yesterday it was unforeseen that I got in the park with the Mozart monument in Vienna. Since I have my iPhone with me always I took it to grab this photo. Even it was in the night, it worked not too bad.
