Blood Moon

A good thing about having an eight month old child is that you don’t have to set an alarm to see a natural spectacle like yesterday night’s blood moon 馃檪

Zombie Walk Bielefeld

Yesterday the Zombie Walk took place in Bielefeld for the sixth time. There were a lot of time-consuming pretty professional zombie-costumes, some of them kind of funny others more brutal but all of them pretty bloody.

Carnival of Cultures 2015

Since 19 years the “Carnival der Kulturen” (carnival of cultures) takes place in Bielefeld. It is always a colorful procession with a lot of creative and beautiful costumes and a good occasion for shooting nice pictures.

This year I took my 70-300 mm lens with me and made a lot of portrait shots.

Spring is here

Finally spring is here and lots of flowers try to attract the bees, bumblebees and what ever is flying around. And of course they manage to lure me too 馃檪

Procesi贸n del Silencio

Relax! Although this a little bit threatening looking guy seems to be a member of the Ku-Klux-Klan I can tell you not to worry: It’s just a catholic (well maybe he is a little bit more catholic than the usual catholic…). And the stick in his hand is not a baseball bat but a large candle (maybe used for exorcism – who knows).

Panning

For me panning shots are often try and error shots. So usually I make a whole series using shutter priority mode with different time settings. Surprisingly this “one shot picture” of an ambulance in Madrid resulted in a nice panning photo.
