Clean your Gear

I very much do love Landscape Photography. But Yesterday, I kinda messed it up a little bit. My Lens was really dirty, and I did not notice that at all until I was back Home editing my haul. It was actually mostly clean, but there was one giant Smudge that actually completely ruined a handful…

My favourite Gear

In order to do Photography, you need some Amount of Gear. For starters, a Camera and a Lens will do. In Fact, that is pretty much all you need, ever. There are a few Extras that are actually useful though. And since I posted a bunch of useless Stuff yesterday, I am going to go…

Useless Gear

Photography is an amazing Hobby to me. But while I generally do not really care about Gear, there are some Items that I can easily live without. Some Things just have absolutely no use to me personally. And it is not that I have not tried one or the other Item from this list, in…

A new Tripod

It is no Secret that I am really not a Fan of big, full sized Tripods. They are clunky, they are heavy and they get in the Way whenever I use them. Tripods generally do not fit my Style of Photography. That is just the Way it is. On the other Hand, I have always…

Automatic Photography

I love Photography a lot, and over the Time, I think I actually learned one Thing or another. I still rarely ever touch Manual Mode. Having to set up everything myself when it comes to how I Expose my Fotos is just a that I am not very good at. Off Course I also do…

Using Vintage Glass

A few Years ago, I inherited my Grandpas old Pentax ME with some Lenses around a few Corners. I also had an Adapter to put those on my modern day Camera since I got that Device. The only Thing I never really did was to actually use some Vintage PK Glass on my Canon M5,…

A new Tool

It is no secret. I believe that Pocket Knives, or smaller Knives in general, are great Tools that every Explorer should have. Knives are great to cut up Food, but also to do a lot of basic Tasks. Like cutting Lengths of Rope. Or for Feathersticking, in order to light a Campfire. (Only do that…

Becoming a better Photographer

Ever since I can remember, I have liked Photography, even though I really did not take it all to seriously during most of my Teens. Back then, I was an awful Photographer. Back then, I blamed that partly on my Gear, I never had a good Camera back then, and the one in my iPod…

On my Backpack

I heavily rely on Backpacks to take all my Foto Equipment, Hiking Gear and other Stuff with me wherever I go. They are just way more comfortable than Slings or other such Things. I also do not really like it carry around a typical, off the shelf Backpack Those just look boring. So I always…

I prefer Zooms

For pretty much all of January and February, maybe even longer, I pretty much exclusively used one Prime Lens in my Photography. I even kinda liked it. But after going back and using my Zooms again at the Oderteich last Saturday, I finally realized how much I actually limited myself by just using that Lens.…
