Be Straight And Honest.
I’ve just received an e-mail from Hamburg Messe: Hamburg Messe und Congress will not be continuing the PHOTOPIA Hamburg imaging festival, as it is not economically viable in the current difficult market environment. “Our aim is to offer attractive and high-quality events. In our opinion, PHOTOPIA will not be able […]
Another old article. From January 2019, when “people photography” was “in” – now it’s apparently bird photography. But nothing else has changed. In recent years, many self-taught photographers have managed to reinterpret the term “professional photography”. A “professional” is no longer someone who sells his craftsmanship or journalistic work, but […]
I’ve already written about it several times: I was doing research in Vienna at the beginning of March. I also went to the Fotozentrum in Krems and had a long chat with the two people there. Something will happen (suspense, suspense) but it will be a few weeks before I […]
Osaka University of Technology – Ōsaka kōgyō daigaku – has launched a project to research methods for evacuating areas: We conduct research and development into the construction of an evacuation guidance support platform for regions expected to be subject to flooding, fire, and earthquake damage, via AI for predicting localized […]
I’ve had the Laowa 18mm f/0.95 sitting around for some time, on loan from a reader. Somehow I haven’t had the opportunity to use the lens. Because simply snapping a few test charts – that’s not what it’s for. Now I was in the Monsted limestone pit, a very large […]
It’s just been a topic again and it keeps coming up and I get emails saying “how can I support you”. Of course, I’ve been thinking about all this for almost a decade now, basically since I took over oly-e and realised that all this internet advertising stuff doesn’t even […]
This article was written at Christmas 2018. Now, over five years later, this article is also extremely “funny”. What might have been if it had been… In 2019, Olympus celebrated its 100th anniversary with a new camera that made all previous cameras look “old”: the E-M1X. A technology carrier in […]
I wrote this article in 2018 but never published it. I found it particularly interesting in light of the current situation. How people thought in 2018… On Friday we had another regulars’ table in Rocksdorf and I took the opportunity to ask the group who owned the E-M1II – and […]
Another aspect of the lens/sensor combination. What happens if you screw good lenses onto low-resolution sensors or bad lenses onto high-resolution sensors? What effect does this have on the data quality? Here we have a sensor that has a much higher resolution than the lens. Dots are displayed blurred. The […]
Eintracht Frankfurt – Hoffenheim Bundesliga match on 10/03/2024. 2:1 for Eintracht Frankfurt through Dina Ebimbe after a cross from Götze. Subsequent goal celebration on the touchline. Right in front of a Nikon photographer’s camera. A photographer and another photographer immediately join in: Mobile phone and Canon R. Mirrorless cameras have […]
Many photographers decorate their websites with quotes from more or less famous photographers, camera books and photography schools are given a touch of meaning with famous names and recently there are even photographer quote acts on YouTube. Cool. Generates traffic. I’ll go along with that. But I don’t take other […]
I have reported a few developments in the last few months where something has happened. So here is the latest news on these topics: The general meeting of the PIV is now over – it’s official, the PIV is being liquidated. Photopia in Hamburg will still take place in autumn […]
