Snowfall in Schönberg January 11, 2021
While spending the holidays in Salzburg I lucked out a bit and got to see some snow falling in December (usually that occurs more in November or January). While taking up the opprotunity to shoot some landscapes in an area with a curious collection of lakes I spotted the tall trees behinde the house in the photo in this post. I considered not having the house in the frame to make for a cleaner landscape shot. However I came down on keeping it in the photo for a sense of scale and to stay true to the area having a lot of hosues dotting the natural landscape.

Two Pigeons December 31, 2020
Back in November I was in Salzburg and on a foggy fall morning I encountered these two pigeons hanging out on a telephone pole.

My last time leaving from Tegel December 14, 2020
In early September (when we had a bit of a breather from the ongoing pandemic) I flew from the now closed Berlin Tegel airport for the last time. It was an odd experience with all the social distancing measures and way less people around than I was used to seeing at the old airport that ran way over capacity for decades. I took a few photos while waiting and thought they where worth sharing. There are two noteworthy details in the last picture: The first one is the gap between the airplane and the gangway: Usually this would have been closed to shield people from the elements while boarding. But as we are in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic airports seem to leave a bit of a gap to improve ventilation in the gangways. The second one at the long history of the infrastructure at the airport: The stop marking next to the front wheel of the plane still denote the stop points for passenger planes that have long been out of widespread use such as the Tupolev Tu-154 and the Boing 707. Another gate still had the marking for Concorde!

Karl-Marx-Allee June 9, 2020
I went for a small walk today to clear my mind and practicly stumbled across this beautiful light on Karl-Marx-Allee. I (hopefully) managed to catch some of it the photo I took.

Santosa from Above May 28, 2020
Two pictures of the island beach in Santosa, Singapore. I took these in January 2020 from the cabel car. The first one is in normal color and the second one is the usual brand of infrared I’ve been posting over the last months.

Rooftop Gardeners January 26, 2020
Asia Square in Singapore has a very well tended garden on it’s roof. After being in an office in Tower two (overlooking the garden) for a few weeks and rarely seing anyone there, a three gardeners showed up and neatly cut all of the foilage up there.

A year on, I’m still enjoying shooting with my modified, aging Pen E-P1. I’ve recently aquired a IRChrome filter from Kolarivision. Paired it with the fullspectrum camera and some edititng it makes for a pretty close approximation of shooting Kodoak EIR with a yellow filter.

Red and Blue May 6, 2018
Two very red full-sepctrum images from Berlin. At this point I’m often using one capture without a filter and then selectively change the saturation of colors in lightroom. This is less work than doing multiple exposures on a tripod and red usually is dominated by the infrared parts of the spectrum anyway.

National Palace of Culture October 16, 2016
A few weeks ago I attended Eruko 2016 which took place at the National Palace of Culture in Sofia, Bulgaria. Given the astetics of this monumental soviet era building I had to sneak away from the conference for a bit to take some pictures.
