Hi there 👋

This photo was taken on a small vacation in Switzerland. We saw the old train in a station and tried to find a good spot to take photo of it driving over the bridge. We barely got there in time, I could only take out my phone and hit the shutter button. I think under these circumstances, this is a really nice photo. Maybe I edited out some rather ugly power lines ;)....

This photo was taken on my last vacation in Brussels. It shows the Monument du Cinquantenaire in an ultra-wide view. Although it was spring, it was rather cold that day, contributing to an atmosphere where you feel little and unimportant. Gear and settings used for this image: iPhone 13 Pro Max 1.57mm, f1.8, 1/2,538s, ISO 32 (reported by image) Edited with the default photos app on iPad 9th gen.

This photo was taken by my current phone, the iPhone 12 mini. After using a standard Android phone for years, the step to it was immense in terms of photo quality. I found myself taking quite a few pictures with it. It’s not as good as my normal camera, but the form factor and ease of use mean I shoot more often. This photo was taken on a sunny November day on a small walk with my girlfriend around her home village....

This photograph nearly was forgotten, until I looked through my archive to find something to hang on my wall. When I took this photo, I wasn’t impressed but after revisiting it a year later, I found it quite good, edited it and ordered a big print with a frame. The image stabilization of my G9 really helped with this photo, as the shutter speed was set to one second and I didn’t have a tripod on hand....

Driving up a mountain is often worth it. Exhibit A: Just look at this picture. (And pay respects to the guy driving up on his bike instead of a car.) Gear and settings used for this image: Panasonic G9 Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-60mm f3.5-5.6 49mm, f11, 1/125s, ISO 200 Captured in RAW, edited with Affinity Photo

A rather simple picture with the classic “black and white with some colored parts” edit. I just wanted to try this out and thought this photo might look way more exiting this way. I could have done a better job recoloring it, don’t zoom in too much. ;) Gear and settings used for this image: Panasonic G9 Panasonic G25 25mm f1.7 25mm, f1.7, 1/400s, ISO 200 Captured in RAW, edited with Affinity Photo

This image was taken on my last trip before the pandemic. I was on a trip to Berlin to visit a friend and go to a concert. Three days later you weren’t allowed to do nearly anything anymore. I can’t really say why I like this picture, as it doesn’t show anything special. Probably this is what makes it so appealing?

This image was taken from my balcony of my old flat in Darmstadt. I sometimes miss the view, because you could sometimes see really beautiful sunsets. The one captured in this photo was by far the best. Gear and settings used for this image: Panasonic G9 Panasonic 12-60mm f3.5 60mm, f5.6, 1/100s, ISO 400 Captured in RAW, edited with Affinity Photo

This image was taken at the locally famous Rosenhöhe in Darmstadt, Germany. In summer, it’s the home of many roses in a beautiful garden, but at this time of the year I could only find beautiful stars. Although my girlfriend and I were freezing to death at around -8 degrees Celsius, the view was worth the hassle. Gear and settings used for this image: Panasonic G9 Laowa 7.5mm f2.0 7.5mm, f2....

This image notes the first time I successfully captured the Milky Way. I used the new to me Laowa 7.5mm 2.0, which can deliver really nice images of the sky, even on my small 4/3 sensor. This image was taken in rhineland-palatinate besides a small road on a clear Saturday evening in October.
