  • A First Glimpse - at Überseequartier

    - 13 years ago
    Today we had a chance, to take a first glimpse at the recently built "Ueberseequartier" in Hamburgs "Hafen city" district. This has been designed to be the heart of that complete new district and it´s main shopping area. Thought is still 'empty', it looks a bit lost. We had expected something more spectactular... but in one corner or the other, some nice views can be expected: Still very curios, how this will lo…

  • Besuch am Sonntag Morgen

    - 25 Oct 2009 - 1 comment
    Sowas! Ich sitze freidlich am Sonntag früh in meinem Lesesessel, als plötzlich ein Eichhörnchen vom benachbarten Baum auf das Geländer vor dem Fenster springt (beachtliche Leistung!), das Geländer herunter turnt (immerhin habe ich inzwischen meine Kamera parat...), um dann noch einmal vom Sims aus direkt zu mir hinein zu schauen und sich dann mit einem Satz auf den Baum wieder zu verabschieden (der fand Sprung selbst leider in einer ungünstigen Ecke statt :-((

  • The monkey project

    - 08 Aug 2008 - 1 comment
    The red monkeys is a rare species - so are the green and the blue (the orange are more common, I think).... But some time ago, I managed to get some - and it turned out - that they sometimes decide to come "en masse".... And as they tend to be rather pretty, I decided, to make a series of portraits of the monkeys... perhaps one a day... so be curious as I am myself - what to come.... www.ipernity.com/doc/explorerhh/album/78629

  • Morning ride through Hamburg

    - 20 May 2008
    Früh aufgewacht, so kurz vor sechs. Gegen alle Gewohnheit allein zuhaus. Keine Frühstücksroutine. Das schöne Wetter gesehen und gedacht: Das mußt du ausnutzen!   Woke up early this morning. Before six. Somehow differnt than other mornings: Alone. No braekfast-routine. Saw the bright sky and thought: Have to make use of it. Kamera eingepackt, Fahrrad gesattelt und zum Hafen -             und dann über St. Pauli…

  • Impressions from my latest visit in Argentina

    - 10 Nov 2007
    Since 5th of November I am travelling through Argentina again - 2 Years before, have been to Buenos Aires and Uruguay. This time Buenos Aires again will be the starting and ending point of the journey.     After two nights in Palermo - one of the most lively and charming areas of BA - we took the flight to Patagonias glacier city El Calafate - a Tourist town in the midlle of nowhere, but rather busy and full of hiking people or just visitors to the glaciers.    …

  • The Prague experience

    - 23 Oct 2007 - 1 comment
    Prague again has been: * beautifully historic         * full of art & music       * Art Nouveau at it´s best         * a Kaffeehaus-Paradise       * pretentious       * lively   * full of tourists and souvenirs         * and: sometimes surprising    

  • Interesting lensbaby

    - 19 Oct 2007 - 2 comments
    I have been quite curious, when I first found some pictures of this "little monster" - but could not stop myself from looking, where I could buy it - especially after I found out that there is a version for my PENTAX K mount... So I ordererd one an when today the small package arrived, I shurely tried it out immediately - which has been a real new way of taking photos to me: 3-dimensional manual focusing is not that common and neither is the manual change of the magnetic aperture rings...…

  • Life in my neighborhood

    - 13 Oct 2007
    I am living almost right in the city centre of Hamburg - but even here, sometimes life can be like in a very small town. Not only because of the "village"- character of this neighborhood, but even as there are quite a lot of trees, parks and the Alster lake near by... This morning - on a "golden October"- day, I happend to see this little squirrel sitting at the foot of the tree right in front of the house, I am living in. First I thought "whoever has left his stuffed animal here..." I hav…

  • Extrem-Tele

    - 03 Oct 2007 - 8 comments
    Nachdem gestern mein neues "Extremtele"-Fernrohr-Objektiv von Walimex mit 650-1300mm eingetroffen ist - hier mal ein paar erste Versuche: Bei guten Lichtverhältnissen lassen sich mit dem relativ günstigen Stück brauchbare, wenn auch keine überragenden Bilder machen... Das Hauptproblem ist die stabile Befestigung: Mein Stativ kommt mit dem Gewicht von 2 kg plus hinten hängender Kamera noch nicht optimal zurecht... die Einstellung ist recht aufwändig. Wahrscheinlich muss ich da noch einmal in e…

  • Steps / Stufen

    - 01 Oct 2007
    I have just been looking for a good translation of Hesse's STUFEN-Gedicht an found this one... As every blossom fades and all youth sinks into old age, so every life's design, each flower of wisdom, every good attains its prime and cannot last forever. In life, each call the heart must be prepared courageously without a hint of grief, submit itself to other new ties. A magic dwells in each beginning, protecting us tells us how to live. High purposed we must trav…

  • Translation: Studio experiments

    - 11 Sep 2007
    After a while I took the time to experiment in the studio a little: First with light and flowers only - even that took quite a lot of time. But hopefully it will be the beginning of a new "series" of "installed pictures...       and on it goes...

  • Studioexperiment

    - 08 Sep 2007
    Am Wochenende nach langer Zeit endlich mal wieder Muße gefunden, im Studio ein wenig zu experimentieren: Ersmal nur mit Licht und Blumen, was seine liebe Zeit gebraucht hat. Aber hoffentlich nur als Anfang einer neuen "Serie"...       und weiter geht´s

  • Hansaplatz - ein Neuanfang?

    - 10 Aug 2007
    Am letzten Donnerstag fand auf dem Hansaplatz in Hamburg St. Georg erstmals (?) eine kulturelle Veranstaltung statt - mit gutem Erfolg: An einem schönen Sommerabend war der Platz bevölkert von Literaturbegeisterten Hamburgern, die sich unter dem plätschernden Brunnen eine Lesung anhörten - jeder Liegestuhl war belegt.  Das Abendblatt dazu: "Donnerstag: Lauschen auf dem Hansaplatz Mit "Geschichten, die das Leben schrieb" wird Schauspielerin Maria Pollok am Donnerstagabend auf dem Hansa…

  • A new era

    - 10 Aug 2007 - 2 comments
    After a long time to wait, yesterday my new Pentax hypersonic focus telefoto lens (DA 50-135 2.8 ED [IF] SDM) arrived... First impression: simply great in terms of "almost no sound" while focusing, great colour representation and the - for PE new fast aperture .... I am a little bit exited for seeing it in full use during the next days..
