Ze Germans 2012 / Long Exposures

Back to photos from Germany, more of Cologne. There's really not a lot to say abou these...

Ze Germans 2011 / The Night in Münster

Long exposures always look good, I guess.

Everything is full of snow 2!

Parking your car for taking a shot is a serious pain atm. There are snow walls on literally every parking space.

Full Moon / Full Frame.

I've been struggling with my work these past few weeks. I can't quite get to grips with the 5D, and photography doesn't feel as fresh or rewarding as it used to. But two days ago, I finally felt the "buzz" of making photographs again. I still love it. The next one is hardly editied, thisa is almost straight OOC. I was quite excited when I saw it come up on the screen.

The Street Light

I had the idea to do these shots for a long time; whenever I walked past this street light it screamed "Photo oppurtunity!" at me, but somehow I never got around to do it. These are basically test shots, I want to go back and do more.





Then, a car went past. Made for a cool effect, although I like the other version more.



Also, for good measure:

Prague at Night.

I spent a weekend in Prague with a friend, also a photographer. I sort of feel like I'm taking steps backwards at this pont, or at least haven't managed to come to grips with the 5D yet.
These are some of the shots I took at night, some of them are horrificly soft. I could only use M42-lenses, which might be part of th eproblem.

Stars, moving, pt.II

I did some more ultra-long-exposures. I don't quite know what I'm doing wrong, but it's definately something. I'm going out for a few more this evening, so we'll see how these turn out.

Stars, moving.

I recently started to mess around with super-long-exposures and star trails. For a few first tries, I like them.

Feelin' creative in the evening...

sometimes results in a photo trip to Upper Austria (which is a 45min drive, don't get your hopes up).

Salzburg at night.

Did some long exposures in Salzburg recently. I wasn't really feeling creative, but editing saved everything...
