Photographic Silence

In order to think about my photographic development I will not be taking any photographs until the end of next week and also not work on any blog posts. It's a period of inspiration where I can redefine my photographic goals.

Summer Holiday Update

This time of the year is when we take a break. It's my second week of summer holidays and we have been to Europa Park in Rust, Germany, Strasbourg, France, Burg Hohenzollern near Tübingen and Baden-Baden in the Black Forrest. While I see more and more tourists carrying around heavy DSLRs like the D300, D700 or even D3s I decided to go light: a Canon G11. The only issue with the G11 is that once you carry it around your neck with the little Canon strap you look like a tourist! I shoot 99% of the time in RAW and the external dials are a joy to use. I shoot up to ISO 3200 if needed. No worries.

I will be back sharing some tourist snaps when I am back from my summer break!

San Francisco Public Transport

San Francisco made me a fan of public transport even though I usually like the freedom of driving a car. The old traditional cable car or Italian "Straßenbahn" were a lot of fun and run very frequently. The only issue is that the first and the last stop of the cable car lines are far too crowded and on the weekend you wait for ages to get onto one. My recommendation is to walk down the route and get on somewhere else.
