One of the main reasons to go to Brittany was seeing and photographing lighthouses. While Le Mont-Saint-Michel was a must on the way to Brittany, the remaining days was focussing on the lighthouses and the areas around them. In the preparation I planned to have stops on the way from Mont-Saint-Michel to Pleubian for some lighthouses. […]

Le Mont-Saint-Michel
Day one of the Brittany trip. First stop was at famous Le Mont-Saint-Michel. We only planned for a single full day and weren’t lucky in regards of the weather there. However, the evening showed some sun rays for about 30 minutes before it started raining. Worth to visit? Hmh, not really. Very touristic, lots of people, […]
New York City – Flatiron Building
An older image I took back in Summer 2012 when visiting NYC. I always had it in color but after converting to b/w, it really comes out nice. It is very well suited for print on a Baryta paper.
Venice
The last stay was for 2 nights close to Venice. Mainly planned to avoid long travel time back home, we took the chance to have one day in the Lagoon City. Again, lots of people and selfie freaks around but for one day it was fine. We did not have a Cappuccino at the St Mark’s […]
Rome
After one week in Artimino we left for our second visit to Rome. We have been there in 2007 and just wanted to have another look at the Eternal City. Things have changed a lot. While in 2007 (we were there at a similar time of the year) there were a lot of visitors, this […]
Tuscany
From Levanto we drove via Carrara and Lucca to Artimino, our next 7 day stay in Tuscany. From there we did day trips to the planned areas. First day of our stay was utilized by the cooking course in which we learned how to make Pasta and Cantucci. Finally, after the whole trip, it was […]
Cinque Terre
We went from home by car down to Como in Italy for a one night stay because travel distance was too much to do it in one go. So, our travel truly started on the next day when we drove to Levanto. The road led us via Milano and Genova down to our first destination. […]
Planning Italy Trip
We will go to Italy in 2016. The whole tour is planned to be done by car. Planned route so far: Route is from hometown to Como (as an interim stop) Cinque Terre (Levanto) Tuscany (Artimino) Rome (with a single day trip to Pompeii) Venezia (Trevisio stay for a single day in Venice) and then back.
Jökulsárlón Panorama
On the day we left towards Ásólfsskáli we stopped a last time at Jökulsárlón. I used the Nikon D4 with Tamron 70-200f2.8 at 200mm for a panorama shot of the scene. Result were 42 portrait-mode pictures out of which 34 were used to create the panorama. I uploaded the picture in nearly full size to allow viewing […]
Iceland Pictures: Höfuðborgarsvæðið
The last region we went was Höfuðborgarsvæðið, the capital region. This is mainly Reykjavík and pictures taken were only in the city. No bird shots in this region but some black & white extracts of some pictures taken.
