Mountains! Snow! Landscapes!

So I did my first day of skiing yesterday. My legs are pretty much fucked right now, but it was fun. Also did some landscapes with the 550D I got. Yeah, new cameras are awesome.

One of the things I hate the most about the area I live in is the lack of nice sunsets. Luckily sunsets don't get much better than the one I've witnessed in Croatia, so here are soem calming pictures:

More from the hottest place I've ever been to.

I stopped photographing people when I encountered nudity at 1:1...

Shooting 'n' everything.

For one day in Cologne, I went out and borrowed a Canon 85mm 1.2-lens, a ridiculously large, expensive and heavy piece of optical design. Of course I'm not nearly good enough to use it to its full potential, but I did catch a glimpse of what it might be able to do in the right hands.

Long exposures always look good, I guess.

It's colour, finally.

Ze Germans 2012 / Street in Münster (B&W 2)

One observation I made during my week in Germany is that there is a sort of critical size for street photography in cities: If they are small, people won't react bewildered when you are taking photos of them, as they are not suspecting you to do wrong. If the city is big, people simply won't care because they see strange stuff every day. A lot of people in Münster seemed to be quite unhappy with me photographing them.
