This is my way back home from my office passing this building which is our local main hospital of our city. Leica Q

On those days with a promising morning sky I take my camera with me on the walk to my office. A sleepy moon in front and a red morning sun in the back provided a great feeling of bliss. This is the building of our main hospital in my city and I passe there every day and enjoy a small adjacent park Leica Q

Sunday afternoon with a sudden snowfall is something very rare these days. Either you take your chance immediately or you will miss it because it is menat to be gone very soon.

The pleasure of a tranquil walk during snowfall is so rare here that I enjoyed this walk very much. Specially I like the all the noises are muted.

My walk started just before the dusk. This area is quite popular and normally the crowd is walking their dogs there. but at this time of a late sunday afternoon it was deserted and a pleasure to have a tranquil walk.
-
It started snowing at 4 p.m. First, if you see any snowfall here in our city and if you are a photographer, grab your stuff immediately because you know it will al be gone again soon. It was a sunday and so I could grab my Leica Q. What elso do you need than a wideangle lens and a camera being capable of higher ISO rates.

In spite of crouching at the sofa or gazing at the PC it is sometimes a better therapy to go out and try to catch a few frames in the darkness. I started late afternoon just before the heavy darkness to settle in. Leica Q

What can be done after sitting in the house gazing on all that depressice grey dull winter mood? I thought the light mist in the air could possibly give an interesting light effect. Leica Q

My walk during our city at the blue hour almost ended here and I was thinking about to have a nice draught. But then I decided to have a last shot of the day with this guest sitting outside a pub in February! Leica Q - 2.8 - 1/125 sec - ISO 8000

When the weather had been too nasty during the week at least that saturday evening showed up with a lush blue hour. This pub usually has its late evening guests enjoying their draught after a busy week. Leica Q: 2.8 - 1/125 - ISO 5000

An inviting sight, when after a rainy day the sky cleared and a lovely blue hour spread a nice light. Leica Q, 2.8/ 1/125 sec. / ISO 4000

The Blue Hour was promising after a couple of days with cotinuous rain and gry depressing sky. A few nice bylanes with historic buildings we have and at this hour nobody was there and I enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere. 2.0 - 1/50- ISO 800 Leica Q
-
Bielefeld has a few nice buildings left, even if 70 percent of the city was destroyed during WWII. There are tranquilles bylanes with restaurants, pubs and when I strolled there, not a single soul could be seen. Leica Q 2.8/ 1/60 sec/ ISO 1600

We are suffering here from very dull and depressive weather but for a short period of brighter moments. Therefore it is not advisable to plan trips by car. The best I can do is running down to the city, catch the next tram and stroll checking the best corners. The great high ISO performance of the Q and its fantastic sensor did support freehand shots very well. Although I carried a tripod I did not mount the camera then.

Here is an interesting article on Leica's new (in 2014) headquarters in Wetzlar. Since it is an article from 2014, I'm not sure if this has been previously posted or not; if so, apologies for the duplication. http://untappedcities.com/2014/06/04/behind-the-scenes-inside-the-new-leica-camera-factory-and-headquarters/- 1 reply

Palace and Monastery Corvey - World Heritage - 5 pictures
Iduna posted a topic in Landscape & Travel
The place is near the river Weser next to the city of Höxter. Monastery Corvey and palace Since last year the list of our World Culture Heritage has one item more. This unique unit of palace and monastery at the river Weser represents the power of a rich culture. There is a palace once being the centre of a ruling family that was and still is directly bound and obliged to welfare of the region. There is the monastery on the other hand, a place from where christiansation started and found its strong counterpart in well organized people from the region. The church is an impressive building from the 9th century . The facade is massive simple gothic style and bears like a shell the relicts of the original parts from the 9th century. Tee interior itself is baroque and so this whole mixture makes the strong impact and bears a long history. Leica Q Pilgrimage to the new place on the list of the World culture Heritage

Last weekend I was in Hamburg to join the Craig Semetko workshop on street photography organised by LFI. Now, I will confess that I was a little dubious as to whether I would gain much from this and it worked out fairly expensive taking into account the fact that I had to book 4 nights accommodation and flights from the U.K. - and face the hard fact that the value of the UK pound had plummeted by over 25% in Europe since it was decided (not by my vote) that we should pull out of the E.U. I have been shooting 'street photography' for around 50 years, and have exhibited it pretty much world-wide so would I really gain anything? In the end I decided that, at the very least, I would get to meet Craig who has been a friend on Facebook for a long time and whose work I admire. As it was I found I learnt more than I could have imagined, met some great new guys, together with the picture editor of Die Zeit Sunday magazine (you don't meet people at that level every day of the week!) Basically I had a ball despite the cold Hamburg weather. I will post a few of my favourites in the following posts. All were shot on a Leica M9 with a 35mm Summarit-M f2.5 lens at 800iso to allow me the depth of field and shutter speed combination I wanted. I hope you enjoy them. Oh, and if you get chance and street photography is your thing (or even if it is not) go and meet Craig. He is a great entertainer and a consummate professional when it comes to street photography. As for LFI, they are great guys and special thanks must go to Simon Schwarzer. Gerry "Christ!"
