Bad Weather Boredom
Bad Weather Boredom – I just set up a flickr gallery dedicated to umbrellas
early morning sun – Berlin Neukölln
Some images i took today before i went to the office. I should do that more often. Early morning sun makes street photography quite easy as even the most banal situation looks spectactular.
color street photography slideshow
I put together a slideshow of color street photography images that i took over the last 12 months. I am not quite sure if color street photography is what i want to do in future. I am really looking forward to see what the responses to this slideshow will be.
The video is also available on youtube and, in much better quality, on vimeo.

this is not Budapest
No, this is not Budapest, it’s my hometown Berlin. I missed the annual seconds2real meetup in Budapest. The plan was to meet with my friends in Budapest last weekend. Unfortunately, because of the volcanic ash clouds over europe, Berlin airport was closed just a couple of hours before my plane was supposed to take off.
I really was disappointed when i found out that there’s no way to make it to the meeting. All my stuff was packed, i had the prints ready that i wanted to show to the others, and last but not least, i was really keen on shooting in the streets of Budapest. However, it should not be. Instead i spent one and half day taking pictures in Berlin (see below). Hopefully there will be another seconds2real meetup this year, maybe in autumn.
Berlin Neukölln
Some random shots from last weekends walk in Berlin Neukölln. I really like the area around Karl-Marx-Strasse a lot. There’s always a lot going on there, and because of the districts (unjustified) bad reputation, it’s very unlikely to stumble across DSLR-carrying-tourists there (which is a good thing).

Danny Santos II from Singapore just launched an awesome blog site presenting a vast amount of incredible beautiful images. Make sure to check it out.
Berlin, Prenzlauer Berg
I have been taking pictures in Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg district last weekend. It is very, very rare that i shoot in East-Berlin – Normally i try to avoid going there if possible. This time it actually was pretty cool, maybe because it was the first sunny day after a long winter.
All shots are done with a Leica M2/35mm Summicron ASPH using Tri-X@400 developed in XTOL. My M6 is still not back from CLA and only god knows when the M9 will arrive.
Leica M2 / collapsible Summicron
I shot 1.5 rolls of Tri-X using the M2 and an old 5cm collapsible Summicron last Sunday. Currently i am using the M2 for street photography as my M6 is still being serviced.
There’s no doubt that the M2 is a great camera, but i would always prefer to go with the M6 or MP as they have builtin Lightmeters and guessing the exposure time is always a little bit tricky (even though most of the time my results are ok).
