2020-10-04 Miscellaneous

In the recent months, I was playing around with stereoscopic photography. That is taking two pictures side by side to generate an 3D vision. There are several ways to take two slightly shifted photos of a subject: Shifting the camera between two time-delayed exposures Using specialized 3D lenses, which project two shifted images on the camera sensor Using two cameras mounted side by side Shifting the camera between two time-delayed exposures is the easiest way to start with stereoscopic photography.Read More

Sweet Home Chicago

2018-06-09 Miscellaneous

Chicago is known for skyscrapers left and right of the Chicago river, the worldwide best blues music (e.g., Magic Sam, J.B. Hutto, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells), deep dish pizza, and 1920s gangsters like Al Capone. Even today the crime rate is very high.

Roads of Vietnam

Roads in Vietnam are very strange if you come from a western country and have never been in South-East-Asia before. Thousands of scooters and motorbikes thrust their way through the streets and at busy times also through the walkways. It is loud and the air smells of twin-stroke engines. Waiting for a gap to cross a street is almost hopeless. But if you have the courage to walk straight through the traffic, you will imagine the traffic flowing around youRead More

Photokina 2016

Here are a few impressions from the Photokina 2016. A lot of new equipment like, e.g., the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. But also many shows and presentations. Martin Krolop spoke on their Roadtrip to France, Felix Rachor taught how to set light, and Christian Altengarten did several life shootings on the Tamron stage.
