Just wait for it and don't do a thing. Just let it happen and watch the financial crisis slowly unfold itself. But don't come crying when it hits you hard and there is no option left than following the billionaires. Sapere aude!

Hamburg Street Photography with my new GFX 50R

Yesterday I've decided to take my new medium format tool with me and take some photos after work in Hamburg city. In winter times it gets too dark too fast, the perfect setup to test the low light qualities of the camera. The shot on the right was the result of a quick and dirty one second exposure at ISO 100 using a handrail on a bridge as a tripod. The level of detail is stunning and I am curious to reach deeper into the world of many pixels to squeeze out more details. I also discovered that some handheld images can catch a like shake if you can't hold the camera still enough, but the pixel density helps you out when it comes to cropping the whole image down to a smaller format.

Some impressions from the last FujiWalk in Hamburg (10th of October)

If you are a listener of the WeShotFuji podcast you may have heard of the FujiFriday . It is a little photowalk organized by Scott Bourne in Seattle. And now Marco Larousse is doing the same thing here in Hamburg. I was there and it was a relaxed afternoon with ten other FujiFreaks. Marco did a little tour to touristic places like the town hall, Hafencity district and the new subway station there. As an official X-photographer Marco gave us some insight into the world of the X-system and how Fuji tries to improve their products by feedback from the base. And no. Marco was not violating the NDA by telling us some secrets ;-) I leave the reader here with some impressions from this sunny photo-event...

train (x100s) I took this shot under a building that leaves a gap for the underground train tunnel near the town hall in Hamburg. I love the framing of the building and tonal bandwith of the scene in black & white.
