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 [...]

Wow, what a year. It’s already over, time flew by really quickly. So it’s time for another recap of my photographic year. January I started the year by upgrading my EOS 400D with a shiny new EOS 60D (Blog-Entry). I wrote at length about the vastly superior ISO quality and the video mode, and I [...]

I find myself going back to these magical days we spent walking through the streets of Paris. Even more than the beautiful photos from Canada this year, my shots from Paris evoke so many wonderful memories of this magnificent city. I’ve gone back and re-edited a lot of the shots I took in Paris. As [...]

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 [...]

I thought about calling this post “A tale of two cameras”, but showdown sounds much more dramatic, so here we go. As you probably know I bought not one but two cameras this year. I started with the relatively conservative choice of updating my DSLR from the EOS 400D to the EOS 60D. I didn’t [...]

The title of this post might sound a little over-the-top (and if you read up on the X100 you know dozens of other blog-posts which sound similar), but I think it is accurate. Three months ago I decided to head to the local photo-shop (Audiophil-Foto) and get my hands on the Fujifilm Finepix X100. The [...]

As you might have noticed I tend to shoot a lot of photos (and recently the occasional video) on events such as parties and birthdays. Being a Linux user, and a strong believer in straight-out-of-camera shots, I tend to shy away from individual post-processing for my shots. I might crop the occasional shot, especially when [...]

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 [...]

Das Xperia Active ist mein erstes Android Handy. Davor hatte ich zwei relativ ähnliche Sony Ericsson (K750i und C510) die beide leicht, klein und ziemlich robust waren. Für mich ist ein Handy ein Gebrauchsgegenstand der nur eine begrenzte Zeit halten muss und um den ich mir keine Sorgen machen will wenn es regnet oder ich [...]
