    Just because they tell you it is impossible…

    Anybody told you that it is impossible to do this or that? Prove them wrong. Just do it. Just like everybody learned that it is impossible to shoot pictures against the sun. Until somebody used a flash. Then the advent of HDR. And then cameras with a dynamic range where it is unnecessary to shoot […]

  • Tunnel to the future with many exits

    Tunnel to the future with many exits

    The tunnel is an old symbol for a passage. On photographs they also make good models: Symmetry, interesting shape, often intriguing details. I love this one in particular. It always reminds me of the fact that even if you do not see the exit and it looks like a dead end, there are plenty of […]

  • Another HDR sunset – SELP18105G lens testing continued

    The lens testing continues. I really like the pictures from the SELP18105G. They are always clear, crisp and show good contrasts. And I really like the HDRs I can build from the Pictures.

  • A quick look at the new Sony 18-105 f/4 G

    I took the new Sony SELP18105G for a test ride. First impression: The lens is solid, well built and has two rings – one to zoom and one to focus. What makes here stand out from other lenses is a small lever which can also be used to zoom. It looks like it was thought […]

    A quick view from the balcony into the sunset

    I took my 19mm Sigma for a ride and created the HDR. I especially enjoyed the orange and turquoise hues in the reflections.
