The banner pictures at the top of the blog are chosen at random from the following selection:

  • Skyline of Sydney (July 2009)
  • Stone sculpture and skyline of Hong Kong (July 2009)
  • Arctic landscape in Iceland (July 2009)
  • Panorama of Barcelona from Park Güell (March 2010)

If you are an amateur photographer yourself, you might want to have a look at photozone.de — a really great, privately run website with professional-grade lens tests. I am shooting with a Canon EOS 400D and an ever increasing set of lenses, among them

  • My ‘workhorse’, the Tamron Di-II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3. Not a superb-quality lens, but very robust and ideal if you can only bring one lens along
  • A wide-angle lens, the Sigma 10-20mm, f/4-5.6, a fantastic wide-angle lens with almost no glitches
  • The Canon EF 50mm f/1.4, a very recommendable lens for fix-focus situations like portraits or still shots
  • My newest addition: The Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 macro. Haven’t really tried it out yet, but the few macro test shots that I’ve taken are awesome!
