A few photos of the past week. All done with E-P2.

I don’t know who took this photo but it was made at my birthday party.

Working at 6.00am is so much fun.

E-P2 with Novoflex + Nokton 40/1.4 M-Mount.

Bye,

Hidden Treasures

Sebastian — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 22:38:22 +0000

In 2009 I took more photos than ever before. In the end of the year, I counted 5500 shots (4000 digital, 1500 analog). Often I only have 1 or 2 presentable shots which I save for a bigger entry. The rest ends up in the lightroom database where no one looks at them again. Today I reviewed them. The result is an entry revealing the/my hidden treasures of 2009

My sister and Mr. Stripes.

Fürth Jazz Festival as far as I remember.

One of Bernhards beloved life-forms. Homo-Photographicus aka. Grand Master Flash. Bizarre.

IT Crowd.

Diego’s christening.

The proud godfather.

Victoria motorcycle built 1924. We wanted to drive with this bike to a motorcycle meeting.

Some gas.

Many kicks later he drove away…

and came back. Finally it was an adventure of it’s own, but driver and machine came both back in good condition…

The raptors cage. Insiders know this facility.

Beauty with analog gear. <3

Real photographer’s like Ken Rockwell.

One moment at the time square.

A night to remember.

Enjoy your weekend,

Seb

A few days ago I finally got my E-P2. I have been waiting for weeks for the upcoming release, checking flickr ten times a day for the latest sample pictures. Now it’s mine :D. I use it in combination with the famous pancake from panasonic (20mm f/1.7) which is a lovely and fast combo. I even like the high-iso results of up to 1600 asa. The Body-IS is a bomb at first sight (I took excellent sharp pictures at 1/8sek hand held!) The whole body is solid and of high quality; also heavy enough for hand held pictures in low light. The new electronic view finder is the best i’ve ever seen. I told a friend it could be the new digital Konica Hexar AF. Picture quality and autofocus speed are remarkable for this little camera. Everything I missed with the GF1 (better EVF) and the E-P1 (faster AF and EVF). To conclude I can say: there is no real notable difference between the GF1 and E-P2 autofocus speed. I will get final certainty within the next few days. I will compare it with a friend who uses the GF1.

More photos soon!

Take care,

Seb

NYC ‘09 in color

Sebastian — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:28:14 +0000

Hey folks, finally I scanned my 20 rolls of kodak. The first part of NYC is in color – the second will be black/white. So now some impressions from the journey. We took of sunday morning in Frankfurt.

Last ID in germany.

Long story short. We arrived at 14.30 eastern daylight time and caught a taxi to manhattan. Outlook of our room.

First impressions of the city are the skyscrapers you are surrounded everywhere.

Time Square: She recognized me at last and gave me a smile. Like that frame.

Everyone was taking photos for memory.

The bear was shooting wide angles. I only took 35mm primes with me.

readynyc.org – new yorkers are very tough guys.

The international center of photography. There was an exhibition of Richard Avedon. Unfortunately shooting was prohibited.

Hilarious headline.

Next we headed for battery park.

These strange pipes you can see almost everywhere in NYC. I suppose the are for aeration

All over manhattan are parks and greens.

And in every park is at least one geocache.

Saw this tape laying around. Weird.

The Jeff Koons(?) sculpture at the place of victims of 11/9

Around Ground Zero.

Back to Battery Park

Financial District / Downtown

Coney Island / Brooklyn

On our way to Staten Island

Back on the Ferry to Manhattan.

ID Shot with Guggenheim shirt.

Nightshot – Outlook from our room.

Little one a bit sleepy.

Liberty Island

Everyone was shooting the statue of liberty.

It assumed funny proportions.

Statements.

Extreme concentrated passion.

More I <3 NY boys.

Gull.

One of my favorites of the entire journey.

Back to downtown the light turned even better.

Before.

After.

Brooklyn Bridge

So this is the first entry of New York City. Second will be the bw as mentioned above. I have also digital frames from my 5d – so look forward to the next entries ;)
Comments are always welcome!

Cheers,

Seb
