Enjoying the summer

On saturday I was out, enjoying the real good summer weather. Having my cam with with me, I decided take some photos which might be worth viewing them in 'color key'. Enjoy !

Working...


Is it really summer?

I'ts been a while ago...

... since I took my last pictures and posted them on the blog :)
There was a lot that changed and I had no real time to take pictures, unfortunately because today I again got the 'fire' :)

Fade away

Gimme some light

The last night, I spontaneously decided to pick up my cam and take some night shots from the river-side-view of Mainz. Despite it was quite cold, the exciting part was to be at places where I already took some shots a few years ago using my old Minolta 505si (quite a good cam back then). Have fun and enjoy the view!

This one shows a view at the Mainz city hall, Mainz Dome and the 'Rheingoldhalle', a common event place on the other side of the rhine river (the lights on the lower right) .

Here I spotted the Theodor-Heuss bridge which connects the city of Mainz-Kastel on the other side of the Rhine river with Mainz.
The last one I call 'a Quiet view' .

Merry Christmas !

Merry Christmas - a little picture taken from the christmas tree using flash-and-move technique :). I used an indirect flash and a shutter value of about a second to capture the background light.
After the flash fired, i moved the cam slightly and so got the moving lights before the shutter closed.

Impressions from Mainz

Today I post some pictures from my small tour through Mainz, where I will spent the christmas time.

I spotted mainly on buildings that had interesting forms, therefore I was able to see Mainz from a completely different point of view - there are really artful designs around !

This image shows the Mainz' theater, which was renewed in 2001 an now has a really impressive look.



The following one should have the title 'Missing' - guess why :-)

Nightshots

Tonight I was out, taking some night shots. They show the nearby 'Café del Sol' restaurant, which I think is a pretty sight at night. I like the light design that was used here to create a comfortable atmosphere. By the way, they have good drinks...

No time for sports

I spent the afternoon in Nürtingen, a small town in the middle of nowhere... There I got a nice shot from a tennis racket placed in a tree.. Whoever put it there doesn't seem to miss it :-)
