Never wanted to write one of these “it’s been a little quiet here” posts, but it actually was a little quiet here 😦 2013 has been busy so far, since I started to earn some money with my photography besides my main job as a sales manager. My respect goes to all those brave freelancers and full-time professionals out there, I just dipped my toe…
I’m not a PixelPeeper. seriously not. But even I noticed the amount of “watercolouring” in some X-Pro shots containing very fine details, when processing them in Lightroom 4. I achieved the best results in terms of details and sharpness with the SilkyPix software that came with the X-Pro, but wasn’t satisfied with a “2-app-workflow” consisting of SilkyPix (->16bit Tiff->) and Lightroom. This becomes a pain in the…
Yes, I’ve been to the Photokina 2012 fair. And I had a camera with me…
In 2011, I shot nearly 70 rolls of film. I love film. And I really love my Olympus OM-cameras and their fine ZUIKO primes. I also love the unique look of film and the classic DOF-control of the 135-format (with those great fast lenses from the film era). But I don’t love the amount of time, film-photography eats up. Actually, I just don’t have enough spare…
Don’t worry, I’m not going to write a pseudo-review about this camera (there are tons of that stuff on the web), and I’ll neither bore you with my personal “first impressions” or something like that (not yet). I just shot some test-frames on the streets of Frankfurt/Main today and would like to share them. I hadn’t planned to shoot this special event, but as soon as…
A few weeks ago, I bought an Olympus FL-300 R flash which – unfortunately – didn’t work when mounted to my PEN E-P3’s hotshoe. However in RC mode the unit worked fine and even on other PEN’s hothoes the flash behaved properly. Actually, that didn’t bother me much since I bought the flash for off-camera lighting only. But when you spend some €’s on a brand new camera like the E-P3 and…
It’s been a little bit quite here, sorry! Had a freakin’ busy time at work and wasn’t able to spend much time shooting or blogging (there’s nothing to blog when nothing is shot). I’m sure nobody wants to see classic family-holiday photos here. But since I tried to introduce some kind of street-style to a few shots of our latest vacation to Belek/Turkey, I decided to post a short photographic summary…
Yesterday I had a few minutes to kill before picking up my wife in the city. Fortunately, I came across this abandoned facility in Frankfurt-Praunheim and had my PEN with me…
Last weekend was great! On friday I headed to berlin to meet my friend Enrico and spend some nice days in the capital city, shooting street and talking photographic nonsense while having some beers…
Great weather on this long weekend, so why not visit mom? Yesterday we left Frankfurt/Main to spend a nice, sunny day with her at the countryside. Perfect opportunity for me because I bought some rolls of Ilford PAN F Plus 50 last week and was looking forward to shoot the ZUIKO 24mm/F2.0 on my Olympus OM-4 Ti wide open. I loaded up the first roll into the camera and gave the…
