Angry Birds

Some time ago I used to love bird photography. I visited the Neusiedlersee NP on a regular base from late March to early May to take pictures of the bird migration to the North. I shot a Nikon D1 ( later D2H ) with a AF-S 2.8/300 ED with or without the 1.4 or 1.7 converter. Sometimes I took images of songbirds in a park in Vienna. There was a guy preparing branches with food in a way that you can’t see the food or a feeder in the final image. It was a great location.

Last Coffee, Last Sunset and a Church

The last coffee in 2012. At McDonalds. How sad is that? But the 31st of December wasn’t that bad at all. The year was. But it’s over now and I’m looking forward to 2013. The last day of the year was very nice. We slept long and than we decided to go “sightseeing”. We drove to Vienna to see the Wotruba church. It was built in the 1970s and but it still feels modern and fresh today. Continue reading
