My iPhone: a handy camera
“The best camera is the one you…” – no need to finish this phrase, since it is a commonplace phrase amongst photographers. So just have fun with the gallery I created from my latest photos, I took with my iPhone 6.

Looking back: 2017’s favourite photos
I am sure, you’ve experienced that, too: sometimes, your hobby comes to an inexplicable halt. Sometimes completely, sometimes partially. Looking back into the year 2017, I did not find as many photos as in the previous years.
Looking back: 2016’s favourite photos
2016 has been a mixed year, both in gear and in activity. Gearwise, I got myself a Sony Alpha 6000. Activity-wise, there were three main events to remember
Munich: a Zebra in a WhiteBox
“WhiteBox” is a new artists’ studio community located in an art-oriented quarter in Munich. I documented the opening with vintage glass and a Sony A6000
Fall: a season for all senses
Fall is a season for all senses: misty mornings, sunny afternoons and early blue hours, with an unique quality of light and colors. It is a season rich with motives calling to be captured.
Black Forest fall: foggy, sunny, pretty
Fall in the Black Forest is amazingly beautiful: leaves changing colors, vines lit by the October sun, foggy mornings slowly revealing the landscape…
Thumbs up: Sunsets & Lightroom 6
Don’t we all love sunsets? Browsing my photo-library, I discovered some old ones and added a few new ones exploring the new tools in Lightroom 6
Winter storm: (sort of) High-Key editing

Plugins & presets: stylizing a photo
Presets and plugins in Lightroom and Photoshop offer a wide variety to stylize your photos. Here are my experiences using a real-world example.
Food photography: creating yummy looks
Chefs make an art of arranging their food perfectly – food photography makes an art of capturing this. My first steps in that area gave me plenty to learn.
Vienna: color or black&white?
Color or black&white? High-Key or Low-Key? Which look should I choose for my photo? With pictures I took in Vienna, it was hard to decide.
November: fighting the blues
Days are short, morning mists persist and the sun hides: it’s time to fight the November blues with some summerly flower-pictures!
Myrafälle: a mystical place
Vienna is one of my favourite cities in the world. Highlight of my last visit was a trip to a mystical place outside the city: the “Myrafälle”
Proud: 500px-jury chose my photo
The acclaimed photo-community 500px chose one of my photos to be amongst the winners in a contest looking for the best pictures taken with a mobile phone.
Supermoon: a chance taken
On Sept. 9th, 2014, I finally succeeded in capturing the super-moon after the disappointingly cloudy and unsuccessful Supermoon-day in August.
Supermoon: a chance missed
On Aug. 10th, 2014, Stuttgart waited for the supermoon to rise at 8.15 pm. Being a full moon and extremely close to the earth, it should present itself in full glory.
Lightroom: changing your perception
