2018-08-06   MOUNTAINS IN CARINTHIA

I was lucky that I could shoot the landscapes shots in Carinthia from an observation tower called Pyramidenkogel (pyramid-top). That was a good substitute for a helicopter (much more expensive) or a drone (you have to search after a place where flying is legal). I could turn to all four cardinal directions for my photos. I could catch many shots with my tripod, but the tourists brought the wooden floor into natural fluctuations, where I had to be careful when to shoot.

2018-08-05   WALKING MAN IN NIGHTLY VENICE

Often Venice provides photo motifs at each street and corner. The Italian architecture combined with the lightning and the mood of the city, a dream comes true for every photographer. From my hometown Vienna it’s about a five and a half hours drive with the car, mostly on freeways. So once a year I try to visit that beautiful city and to be ready to add some pictures to my photo collection.

2018-08-03   MOSQUE FROM THE INSIDE

For this photo, I took my wide angle lens, the Samyang (Rokinon) 14mm 2.8 AF E-Mount and my Sony A7S. This setup covered the panoramic roof, pillars, arcs, and ornaments of the Sheikh Zayed mosque in Abu Dhabi very well.

2018-08-01   BEACH NIGHT IN LANGKAWI

The Night Rainforest tour got a bit boring; it was walking around the hotel only, there ware the same animals, which I saw on my way to the room anyway. So I took the night in my own hands and went to the beach for a photo tour. The beach cafe was on my list; I took the photo hand-held with my feet in the warm seawater. With the great Sony A7S, night shots are no problem. At the end of the photo session, I went into the cafe for a cold drink.

2018-07-30   DANUBE FROM ABOVE

I looked after an appropriate starting place for my DJI Phantom 4 Pro quadcopter. On a meadow between wine gardens I found it, and within five minutes I was ready to fly. The River Danube embedded in the beautiful landscape of the Wachau gave a likable motive for a drone photo. A historical and culturally exciting area with castles, ruins and old wine villages.

2018-07-28   STAIRWAY IN VIENNA

Since mostly I have a camera with me, even when I am walking around for fun, it happens that I get surprising snapshots. I saw that couple going down the stairway and liked the scenery with the embedded church and the steep houses around. I took that photo and had one more in my vast collection of city shots.

2018-07-27   STREET WITH TRACKS OF THE CABLE CAR

My colleagues and I took the cable car from Fisherman’s Wharf all the way to the Market Street. We got a place on the outside at the reeling, standing on entry-slat, with one hand holding on the buttress with the other side taking photos. It was an exciting tour with some shots of the high streets of San Francisco. I would recommend this tour, great fun and an experience to retell.

2018-07-26   MUSEUMSQUARTIER IN VIENNA

On the photo you can see the main entrance to the Museum Quarter in Vienna. Inside you can see the Egon Schiele exhibition in the Museum Leopold. On the museum plaza, there are some hip bars and restaurants and dozens of plastic seats in violet color for chilling out.

2018-07-25   COAST NEAR DUNDEE

I was standing on the cliffs while shooting this sunset. It was a lucky moment, raining stopped two hours ago, and the sun and the clouds showed a beautiful nature spectacle. For me it was essential to see some cliffs in Scotland, that was the reason why I took “the extra mile” from Edinburgh into the North. But it wasn’t so easy to find the access path to the cliffs, the nav brought me into the greenery to a farm, so I had some trial and error to reach my desired destination. Never give up, often it turns out satisfying for your photographer’s needs in the end. 🙂

2018-07-24   MARINA BAY SANDS FROM THE 6TH FLOOR

I was on the way to the lightning show at the Gardens of the Bay as I captured that scene from this spectacular hotel. I fetched my camera and started to shoot before I made the way out. If you want to visit the garden-show, ask at the reception for the right direction, you can be lost very fast in that big area.
