Waiting For The Rain
… and practicing Daguerreotype frame effects while at it. Which gives me plenty of time, as for months to come we will go through yet more skin crackling drought, tons of dust and harsh, cold winds … only to gradually be replaced by scorching heat before it eventually and hopefully starts to rain. When? You [...]
Silver Efex Pro? Not For Namibia!
… or how not to run an online shop. To start of with, I have downloaded the trial version and have worked with the software for 15 days. It is very good and a welcome upgrade to Theimagingfactory’s B/W converter, which I have been using happily for quite some years now. I will write a [...]
Young Amethyst
… found at (closed down) Sarusas Mine, where the South Africans used to mine amethysts – many moons ago.
Harsh Tranquility
I took this picture at the Namibian coast (Atlantic), at a place called Mile 108. If this very part of coastline, also called the Skeleton Coast, would be a child or a pet, you would probably refer to it as having “a face only a mother can love”. It is harsh and cold, most of [...]
More Candid Camera
It’s interesting, how you shoot more pictures of the first born – me at least. The boys’ granddad even mentioned to me that in his case child photography decreased gradually from number one to number four. I remember running around with the camera glued to my forehead during the early days/months/years of Maximilian. Pictures were [...]
Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, [...]
Picture a’Day (… sort of) 9 July 2010
Which photographer – of any background or style – can claim that his or her camera does not frequently wander to point at the kids and/or at what ever (the heck) they are doing at a given time … only to declare those pictures the absolutely most wonderful in the entire collection? … no matter [...]
Canon 5D Mark II … is it just me?
… or does the Mark II feel somewhat “plasticy”? As usual and due to the fact that I rarely buy equipment at or shortly after release, I’m way behind the drag curve with this. Also, I look after glass and gear extremely well and thus work with a given model for a long time. I [...]
Picture a’Day (…) 4 July 2010
The Mirror Conspiracy or Am I on To Something? Playing around with HDR and Tonal Mapping lately, I am revisiting many of my Namib Desert and Namib Naukluft images, which never made it to the digital darkroom. Not because they are just plain bad, but because mostly there is at least one thing wrong with [...]
