2018-03-07   GATE TO LITTLE INDIA IN SINGAPORE

One of my favorite destinations to visit in Singapore was Little India. Walking around there, awakened my reminiscences of New Dheli, which I have visited the year before. My son accompanied me; we went into an emporium, which was utterly staffed, from electronics to apparel, from bedding to security locks, from food to snacks. After taking a mango drink, we took the main road, which was replete with fine jewelry shops. It was impressive, to see so much gold in the shopping windows.

2018-03-06   HUNTING CHATEAU ECKARTSAU INSIDE

After the music concert in hunting chateau Eckartsau in Lower Austria, my wife Karin was already in the courtyard to eat snacks and try a glass of Prosecco. I stayed some minutes on the first floor to take photos of the interior. Older castles with their generous rooms and ornaments are always good for photos.

2018-03-05   TOURIST BOAT IN DUBAI

Near the Burj Khalifa lies that artificial lake where water shows and boat excursions take place. For me an excellent opportunity for some tripod shots. But suddenly I was exhorted by a guard not to use the tripod anymore. “Taking photos no problem, but not with the tripod” ??  However, after he was aways I did 2-3 additional shots, then removed the tripod and did the shots with the camera placed on the concrete fence. Same result.

2018-03-04   ROOF OF A MOSQUE IN ISTANBUL

One beautiful, versatile roof of a mosque in Istanbul. I have visited four mosques, each of them was a unique experience. I had to put off my shoes at the entry. Then you go in and walk on a big, soft carpet. The carpets have many colorful embroidery patterns which build a perfect harmony with the artful roofs.

2018-03-03   JAPANESE GIRL IN PARK GÜELL

It was my second time in Park Güell. The observation area in the middle of the park was only accessible on the sideways; the rest was under construction. I had to be careful with my photos to avoid site blankets on the pictures. It happened that I could capture that scene with this Japanese girl sitting on a tile-work bench with the typical Park Güell-buildings, and a dove,  in the background. Great design work by Antoni Gaudi.

2018-03-02   MDINA GATE MALTA

The city Mdina is enclosed by a city wall, the photo shows the Mdina Gate as the only entry into the city. The area is very popular with film crews, parts of the movie Gladiator and episodes of Game of Thrones have been filmed there. A touristy “Games of Thrones”-tour shows you the filming-locations. Inside the city are narrow streets and high buildings, dating back to the 14th century. Currently it has a population of 236.  🙂

2018-03-01   ESCALATORS IN SINGAPORE

Shooting in new modern buildings and shopping centers is one of my passions. I like the shiny metals of the escalators, the clean and reflective floors and the overall interior architecture.

2018-02-28   VERONA FROM ABOVE

Once we took a tour up to the hills in Verona, where we entered an area which looked like a sight seeing platform. But it was some kind of recreational territory from the Italian Army. It was no problem for anyone that we walked around and did some shots from the city. Last but not least, there was even an observation deck with a great view.

2018-02-27   LIGHTS AT A BREWERY

I was out using my Sony Zeiss 135mm 1.8 lens, which I don’t take with me very often, because of the weight of 1050 g (2.31 lb). I was near at one of Vienna’s oldest breweries, named Ottakringer. These three lamps with their homogenous light cones attracted my attention. Holding my breath and some hand-held night shots were on my camera.

2018-02-26   SCOTTISH MAN IN BAR

After ordering a Guinness beer, I sat down at a table and was looking a the TV screens with football games. Then I looked at the bar and saw that man with a tattoo and a Scottish flat cap sitting on a barstool. I liked the scene and took my camera and did a quick shot, although higher ISO it came out usable. The guy didn’t react to the photo very much but was not amused. However, I had the picture I wanted which represents a typical pub scene in Great Britain.
