As much fun as we had during our only winter-hike this season, I really hope the white season does not return. We’ve had enough cold and way too few hours of sun. So, enjoy these photos, may they be the last frigid ones for a while.
We went for a walk behind the Aachen Westbahnhof (a major freight rail station) where they are currently tearing up the old railway tracks to make room for the new Campus West of RWTH Aachen University. Since this is a construction site, we went on a sunny Sunday morning. To be honest it is not [...]
Fall in Germany (and especially in Aachen) is something I’ve learned to enjoy a lot. Even though the days are growing shorter and colder, the golden leafs set the mood for the season to come. I recently shot some photos on the Lousberg and liked some of them enough to make them into a wallpaper [...]
Went Heli-flying today. Unfortunately the weather was less than optimal, and the pilot took a route which actually led us away from Aachen, over the Blausteinsee and the Braunkohletagebau. Either way, it was fun and now I know what flying in a helicopter feels like. A small video of my trip: I think next time [...]
Here we go again. With nothing more substantial to blog, I’ll just give you the quick rundown of some of my favorite shots of 2011, at least in terms of photographic technique. Needless to say, only a fraction of my photos make it to flickr each year. I’ll try to sort the shots by theme [...]
To commemorate the end of my studies (Computer Science) I got myself a new toy. This time I opted for something substantial instead of many small and sometimes pointless gadgets which will only accumulate dust after their initial use. So, after careful consideration and a long period of reflection, I got myself a racing bike. [...]
My last post was about the photographic year 2010 and this is barely any different. I hope to blog about something substantial very soon, seeing as I’m done with my Diploma Thesis now, but in the meantime enjoy the photos and the comments. I completed my first long hike this year in February. It was [...]
Heute haben Flo und ich unser UROP-Projekt erfolgreich beendet. Da ich, von allen Leuten mit denen ich in den letzten paar Monaten gesprochen habe, niemanden gefunden hab der überhaupt von UROP gehört hatte werde ich versuchen diese Lücke mit einem Blogpost ein wenig zu schließen. Die Details unseres Projekts werde ich ggf. in einem späteren [...]
Nach einer Menge Posts über anderen Kram und neidischen Blicken zu Flos aufgeräumter Studiumsseite wollte ich mal noch ein paar Dokumente aus den letzten Semestern aus dem Schrank holen. Vielleicht hilft es ja dem ein oder anderen Studieninteressenten der sich nicht vorstellen kann was man überhaupt so während seines Informatikstudiums macht. Seminare Seminare bei uns [...]
Wow, the last few weeks I shot more photos (and learned more) than in a whole year, at least that’s how it feels. First and foremost I got a new lens for my birthday. The Canon EF-S 18-200mm 3.5-5.6 IS. This was meant as a replacement for the rather basic 18-55mm that came with my [...]
