2022-01-05 MAN IN THE MUSEUM
The art history museum in Vienna is more reminiscent of a magnificent palace than a museum. Colossal marble columns and wide stone stairs line the floors. Many places offer good opportunities to take photos. You almost forget to visit the exhibitions in the museum.

2021-12-31 SCHÖNBRUNN CASTLE IN THE NIGHT
The castle walls and the decorated trees create a fantastic harmony at night. Always a good idea to have a fast lens with you. I used the Sigma 35mm 1.4 A-Mount with the LA-EA5 adapter on the Sony A7R IV for the nightly walk. A power combo for low-light photography.

2021-09-26 BIKER ON A HOT AFTERNOON
I often try to abstract the photos from the classic point of view and immerse them in a new light. With shadows, colors, and movement, images are created that stand out from standard photos. It is essential to be aware of the large number of cellphone photos that are taken every day.

2021-09-12 RUNNING IN THE PARK
The Türkenschanzpark is a famous running track for the Viennese in the 19th district. The park’s name comes from the Turkish sieges; at this point, the Viennese troops repulsed the attack, and the Turks then had to withdraw. My wife Karin is the active runner in the photo.
