Be Straight And Honest.
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 someone who […]
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 go outside […]
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 torrential rain, […]
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 artificial cave […]
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 which everything […]
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 was quite […]
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 made it […]
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 people’s wisdom, […]
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 under the […]
Verdi (a German trade union) has developed an online fee calculator for “creative professionals”. This is also accessible to non-members and is intended to give a rough overview of what a reasonable calculation looks like. The most important thing is the “categorisation”. There are four levels: EG5, EG9b, EG11 and EG13. You […]
I have once again received a link to an article that deals with AI. Apparently, VMWare (an American company for cloud computing software) has delivered a study according to which the creation of instructions for the AI, the so-called “prompt”, is done much more efficiently by the AI itself. This is how […]
This is not a premature April Fool’s joke, even if it reads like one. Swarowski has brought a pair of binoculars onto the market that has a bird detection function. Not as we know it from cameras – it puts a frame around the bird and focuses on it. Nope – the […]
