While a huge shooting star lit up the night sky for a few milliseconds, I packed my photo equipment for the following day and prepared for the night’s rest in my van. Nearby Obertauern I parked at the beginning of a hiking trail. Four hours later my alarm went off. It was 3:30 in the morning. After a good 15 minutes of morning routine, I started the hike with my companion and passed a sign that indicated two hours 30 […]
The Chinese company Yongnuo has long made a name for itself when it comes to inexpensive flashes, and a lot of photographers use the price advantage over the more expensive branded flashes. Now it is the job of the flash to improve the light – a task in which one is certainly not dependent on high-end devices. Because apart from the light color and the reload time, there are hardly any differences in the effect. With a lens, completely different […]
At least in terms of price, I hit an absolute bargain here, because I was able to bid for the Yongnuo 35mm f2 on a second-hand exchange for a mere 35 €. For me a reason to be happy, but irrelevant for the test. The new price of the lens at retailers is at around € 90. Still a very affordable price for a lens with this specs. But how much can you expect from a lens in this price […]
With the Fujifilm X-PRO 1, I actually have a camera gem with me when taking photos. Even if the camera is 8 years old, the built-in X-Trans CMOS sensor is the basis for an inimitable image look. For this reason, I took a closer look at the Fujinon 35mm f1.4 lens during the last street photo shoot for this review. The focal length of 35 mm (56mm converted to full format) corresponds in terms of the image section to the […]
There is a new entry in my collection of 50mm lenses which sometimes enlarges and sometimes shrinks. But I’ve had my eye on the Yongnuo 50mm for quite a long time, as it has some very big advantages. So it is basically a replica of the second version of the Canon 50mm f1.8 lens, which originally came on the market in 1990 and was replaced by the STM version in 2015. This Canon lens was also my first 50mm lens […]
had the chance of spending my Fest as a part of the Fest photo team, where I tried to capture as many bands as possible. So within the three days I took pictures of around 75 bands in most of the Fest Venues (No CMC this year unfortunately). First from a photographers perspective:As this is a photo blog, i have to start with the Equipment i have used. I did not came with a flash, in contrast to most of […]
[Check English Verion Below] Großbritannien verbindet man ja nicht unbedingt mit sommerlichem Wetter; schon gar nicht im April. Umso mehr wundert es mich auch noch im Nachhinein, dass ich in den vier Tagen, die ich in Manchester verbrachte, keine einzige Wolke am Himmel sah. Perfekter hätten die Rahmenbedingungen für den Besuch eines Festivals also nicht sein können. Auch wenn die Konzerte der Manchester Punk Festivals ohnehin in Clubs stattfanden. In drei Tagen, auf sechs Stages, gaben sich mehr als 150 […]
It’s been a long time, since I wrote my last post on this blog in English. But as I am aware how many of my friends from the United States and all over the world are interested in my pictures of the Fest 16 (the best festival in the world to my mind), I decided to give you my very own recap of five awesome days in Tampa and Gainesville, Florida. So here is my personal, non-ranked and incomplete (maybe […]
