Fish, chips, cup 'o tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary fucking Poppins... LONDON

In 2019, my daughter Emily and I went on an exciting trip to London, England to visit my brother who was working there at the time. Even though my wife couldn't come with us because of visa issues, we still had an amazing time exploring all the wonderful things London has to offer.

Von Lightroom Classic zu Lightroom CC

Nachdem vor über einer Woche ein riesiges Creative Cloud Update erschien, welches unter anderem Adobe Xd, Photoshop und Illustrator mit tollen neuen Features versah, guckte ich mir nun endlich mal näher Lightroom CC an. Ich hatte es bei Erscheinen nur als Elements Version wahrgenommen und dachte, es sein eine "kleine" Version von der echten. Wie hab ich mich geirrt... Im Grunde macht Lighroom CC alles, was…

Kompaktkameras 2017 – Die Qual der Wahl: Mit eingebauter (Zoom-)Linse oder mit Wechselobjektiven?

Nachdem ich im letzten Toskana Urlaub meine Nikon D2x samt mehrere Linsen dabei hatte, merkte ich, dass es mir zunehmend lästig wurde, immer so viel Equipment rumzuschleppen, zumal ich eigentlich nur noch zum Spaß fotografiere. Darum hab ich gestern meine Nikon D2x auf eBay gestellt, sowie drei weitere Linsen in anderen Auktionen, und damit angefangen, Kompaktkameras und Systemkameras zu recherchieren. Der Einfachheit halber schreibe ich nur…

A trip to Tuscany or how I fell in love with Bistecca alla fiorentina

Not a single day of rain during our easter-trip to Montepulciano. How lucky. Each day better weather, better food and even better sceneries. Squeezed into a tiny BMW 116i with a little Thule box on the roof, my brothers from Berlin as well as my daughter started the trip from Germany. We drove through France and Switzerland and made our first stop at the lake of…
