MY LIFE IN MY PICTURES :: A PHOTOGRAPHY BLOG

p1180010

Somebody talked about this place in the woods with all this rocks. The next day I went there, it was raining but the water didn´t came through the leaves. It felt like we were in the rainforest. If you live around here, you should visit this place. Now I have to write in german because I am faster.

Das “Felsenmeer” liegt im Odenwald, genauer gesagt in Reichenbach. Das ist genau HIER. (Google-Maps Link). Der Weg nach oben ist nicht leicht, es geht steil bergauf, also vorher vielleicht mal ein paar Zigaretten weg lassen. Da ich nicht rauche, war der Fußmarsch kein grösseres Problem aber meine Lungen waren auf jeden Fall sehr gefordert. Ich habe dann auch mal einen kleinen Abstecher direkt über die Felsen genommen, bei der nächsten Kreuzung dann aber noch mal darüber nachgedacht und ein weiteres höchst forderndes Felsengekraxel sein gelassen. Meine Schuhe waren zu glatt an der Sohle, was auf den Felsen zu unkontrollierten Rutsch-Zuckungen führte. Der Rest der Strecke ging auf den beschilderten Wegen in Schlangenlinien nach oben.
Ich habe mich natürlich die ganze Zeit gefragt woher diese Steine kommen. Die kommen nicht etwa von oben. Nein, die kommen von unten. Genaueres kann man z.B. HIER lesen (Wikipedia). Ich hoffe der Inhalt dieser Seite ist wissenschaftlich korrekt. Ganz oben ist übrigens ein Restaurant. ADA´S BUKA. Afrikanisches Essen und Bier aus Windhoek wer mag.

Leica M9, Summicron-M, 35/2

Well, that was a great day. Robbee and me went to Mainz to the Minikina. We had a great day checking tons of photography stuff. The people at the LEICA point gave us a M9 for 30 minutes and I had a SD card with me. So I shot the hell out of this ragefinder camera. For me it was such a big moment because I don´t think that I will ever own a M9. I know how a ragefinder works because I use a LEICA CL the most of the time, so it was easy for me to get used to a digital version. A great camera, small, easy to use, fast and well designed. So here are some pictures of that day at the Minikina and my lucky 30 minutes withe LEICA M9.

I found some pictures of a trip to France in 2008. I´m tired of all that snow here and I´m missing the sun. So, maybe this summertime pictures can produce some summer feeling. We went to France in 2008, by plane to Montepellier, were we stayed the first night and ran into a techno party. Next day we took the train to Cosprons. It´s in south France almost in Spain. We lived in the house of a friend and we had a great week with sunshine and great food. Our friend (Christian) really knows how to cook. All pictures taken with a LEICA CL, 40mm Summicron-C, and cheap ROSSMANN 400 ISO Film. Some people say this film is nothing else than a Fuji Superia but I´m not sure if this is right. The scans were made by the developer-shop.

Hiking 20 kilometers on January the 2nd. We had perfect weather, some snow and it was cold. It was a great day, we walked from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
These are the pictures I made with the Lumix LX3. I had the LEICA CL with me but I still have to wait for the scans.  I´ll post them later.

We took a trip to Heidelberg this weekend. There was a festival in the streets there and some bands were playing. There were very much people and in the evening the sun went down and we got a very nice light there.

(Trying to improve my english here ;) sorry for the spelling mistakes if there are some!)

Had a nice trip to Berlin in August. Met Peter and his Band to have a Jam in their studio. It was FUN! I had 3 days in Berlin and I took a lot of photos in the streets, check them out.
Tipp: When you are in Berlin, go to BUCHHANDLUNG WALTHER KÖNIG. I spent 1,5 hours inspecting the photography books there, and they have VERY much of them from Eggleston to Shore and more!
