Third and last day of the photo tour of Berlin. Of course, in such a short time you can only just scratch the surface of the attractions, but still it was a fantastic 3 days. Early in the morning I went for a short walk in the area around the hotel. After an extended breakfast, […]

Berlin60 – Part 2
On the second day we went to different stations in Berlin Mitte. First to the Hackesche Höfe and then via the Alte Nationalgalerie in the direction of the Humboldt Forum. At the Humboldt Forum you have a nice view over Berlin from the roof terrace. From here we walked towards Friedrichstrasse and […]
Berlin60 – Part 1

A little bit of architecture
I had picked out a few photo locations for architecture before the trip. On the German side, this was the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein. The light there was unfortunately already too bright, yet the Vitra Design Museum designed by Frank Gehry and the Vitra House. Unfortunately for us, there was a rubble […]
Freiburg in Breisgau
7-day vacation in the south of Germany, Switzerland and France. The border triangle with Freiburg as the warmest city in Germany is a good place for explorations into the area. And indeed, we were not disappointed weather-wise. Had it initially looked like we would have 50% of the time rain and overcast days, this was […]
Planning Windmill Midlum
The Midlum Windmill is located close by and should be worth to shoot. However, it is damn close to have a good spot with the windmill. I’ll have to see that when there. Assume the Nikkor 24mm PC-E is the lens to use for that.
Planning lighthouse Simon Loschen
The Simon Loschen lighthouse is the oldest German land-based lighthouse at the northern coast that is still operating. Planning for a shooting whenever the weather gets better 🙂 The position should work good in the morning hours when the lighthouse gets the first sunlight. First position will require a Shift-Lens as it is very close […]
Planning lighthouse Arngast
Want to have a sunrise picture of Arngast in the Jade Bight. Hopefully the lighthouse will also be illuminated. Targeting for Dec-17th at the moment, if weather permits. Alternatively Dec-27th to 29th might work. The tide is better suited for the later dates. In Google Earth, I found 2 possible locations which also show proper […]
Tour around the Jadebusen
Planned tour around the Jadebusen area. [restrict userlevel=”subscriber”] Feldhauser Deich 29, 26969 Butjadingen –> Shooting the lighthouses Robbenplate and Hohe Weg which are around 8 resp. 12 kilometers into the river Weser from that location Nordseeallee 35, 26969 Butjadingen –> from Tossens it should be possible to shoot the Wilhelmshaven harbour area Eckwarder Str. […]
Planning Bremerhaven – Geeste
A picture that I have in my mind would cover the lighthouse in front of the setting sun. This time of the year would probably allow to do so, if the weather permits. [restrict userlevel=”subscriber”] The location for shooting is in the direction of the Geeste river spout. This allows for both lighthouses to shoot. […]
