2018-10-15   NIGHTLY WALK IN VERONA

My wife Karin got angry from time to time during our nightly walk through Verona, because I had to stop on nearly every corner to take photos. But you have to use the opportunities; when shops and restaurants are closing already, you have the city lying before you to go all in for photo shooting. Use the dim light in Italian towns which give unique blend to the buildings and architecture.

2018-10-14   AQUARIUM SAN FRANCISCO

Looking like the aisles in a futuristic starship, the styling of the San Francisco Aquarium is one of a kind. A cool location for visiting, best with your kids or friends to get an experience of education, surprise and excitement. And don’t forget your wide angle lens.

2018-10-12   ART MUSEUM VIENNA IN THE NIGHT

Once a year there is an event called “Long night of the museums” in Vienna. All museums are open from Saturday 6 pm to Sunday at 1 am. A neat idea compared to the early closing times, museums usually have. And the whole experience with one entry card for about € 12. I took my camera equipment and visited four different museums. I grabbed a wide angle lens and my Sigma 35mm Art lens with the low f-number 1.4 for the shots in the gloomy light. The first visit was at the Vienna Museum for Applied Art (MAK) which you can see on the photo.

2018-10-10   ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON

I did a hiking tour with my wife on a Sunday afternoon. We got lost while walking through some gardens and had to cross railroad tracks trudging through the grit. After entering a country lane, I saw that rainbow stretching over the houses and gardens. It lasted only for seconds; I took my Leica X Vario and I was lucky enough to catch two shots with the rainbow in its full splendor.

2018-10-09   TV TOWER IN PRAGUE

The Zizkov Television Tower represents a unique design. Built in the communist area, it got one of the landmarks in Prague; it stands high above the city’s skyline. It’s relatively cheap to get up, (e.g., compared to the Empire State Building 🙂 ). Worth a visit, I would plan it as a fixed spot on a Prague journey. With good weather, you get a view of the endless sea of Prague’s buildings in all four cardinal directions.

2018-10-08   ALLEY IN SAINT TROPEZ

In Europe the city Saint Tropez got its famous name from the actors Brigitte Bardot and Louis de Funes, nowadays these names are more or less forgotten. On my Tour de France, I gave the city a try. There is a walking promenade with many yachts and high prices. It’s ok for a 1 to 2-day trip. I can recommend an Indian restaurant named “Gandhi”, excellent food and courteous service.

2018-10-07   SUNSET AT THE LAKE

With only 3,5 hours driving time to Carinthia from my hometown Vienna, I get many photo opportunities at the region of the Wörther See. Lovely villages and smooth hills surround the lake. You can catch moody photos with the unique atmosphere of lake, hills, and sunset with some people left on the beach drinking their last glass of Prosecco.

2018-10-06   CASTLE AND KNIGHTS IN SCOTLAND

My memory is so bad; I remember entering that knight’s hall, but I’m not sure where it was. Scotland is full of castles, built with heavy stones, inside they give you back the reminiscences of medieval times. Maybe it was Edinburgh Castle, which should be on top of your list. I was there half a day, exploring and photo-shooting.

2018-10-05   MALTA FROM MY HOTEL ROOM

From time to time I get a hotel room with a beautiful view of the city Sliema in Malta, which is worth taking a photo. In this case, I stayed in the “The Palace” hotel. With a room on the 6th floor and the right direction I took my camera out and did some shots of the buildings in the dusk.

2018-10-03   INSIDE MARINA BAY SANDS

That’s THE photo hotspot in Singapore, Marina Bay Sands, and the surroundings. The magnificent hotel for shooting inside and outside, a bridge to catch Singapore streets and skyline, the rooftop bar,  the vista point for the Gardens by the Bay and nearby shopping centers with rivers and big rounded roofs inside. I recommend to plan an afternoon and the evening in this area and be at the right time at the lightning orchestra of the Gardens.
