Early Walk On A Cold Morning. Riga, Latvia, March 2012

FinePix X100 (23mm, f/8, 1/40 sec, ISO200)

This March I went to Riga on a short business trip. Since it was my first time there I googled for images and found lot’s of wonderful images of the town center so of course I brought my Fuji X100. Before landing I saw frozen rivers and lakes. It was mid of March and spring has been arrived already in Austria but obviously not in Latvia. I had “survived” a massive cold front from Siberia when I was in Moscow a couple of weeks before so I got reckless and left my warm winter jacket and my gloves at home..

Thank God I had a winter coat and also was smart enough to bring a hat. Continue reading →

The Art Of Traveling Light ( part II / Great Modern Times )

FinePix X100 (23mm, f/2, 1/60 sec, ISO800)

As photo enthusiasts we are living in wonderful times. Just think about what camera you were using 10 years ago. Maybe you were already shooting digital. Maybe you were an early adopter and already using a DSLR. I did. A Nikon D1. A pro camera with a 2,7MP APS-C sensor with an max ISO-setting ISO 1600 but I really did not like to go there. I preferred to stay at ISO 200. The screen on the back was small. There was no loupe or histogram so it was rather there to check whether an image was recorded or not.

Why I’m telling you that? Continue reading →

Rush Hour In Nature, Beautiful Hotels Past Their Best, Plitvice Lakes NP

NEX-5 (36mm, f/8, 1/320 sec, ISO200)

Like mentioned in my previous post: Signs lie sometimes. Photos sometimes lie too or at least the tell not the truth or the full story. Like my pictures of the Plitvice Lakes national park. All you see is beautiful waterfalls and cascades and an almost empty foot bridge on a sunny day. What you don’t see is that I have to wait for about three minutes to take the second shot as photographers were lining up to get to the spot. Continue reading →

Wonderful World, Krka Waterfalls, Croatia

NEX-5 (18mm, f/10, 1/200 sec, ISO200)

Summer is almost gone. Long, cold winter nights are in front of us. Today might be the last hot day in Austria and I have no problem with that. This summer was extremely hot and I am really looking forward for some fresh and cold air.

It was hot in June too when we traveled Croatia. There was a massive heat wave in the second half of our trip with temperatures reaching 38 degrees Celsius. The perfect time to swim in a cool lake. This is something you can do at the Krka waterfalls. But we did not bring our swim wear to the trip and hiked through the park. Continue reading →
