About me

Since my Photoblog got its first entry in May 2007 I try to publish new photos here relatively regularly. Thematically, there are not actually any restrictions - however, my favorites lie in the area of cityscapes, landscapes, people and horses.

I live and work in Marburg an der Lahn, a small town near Frankfurt in the middle of Germany. I like to do sports beside the activity of the photography and am enthusiastic horse rider.

Other than that, I'm not sure what else to tell you, if you have any questions please get in touch.

Why I drive a Photoblog?

Because photos are there to being shown. And because the thoughts and opinions of other people about my photos interest me. And because it makes fun. And because of the possibility to get know new technologies and software tools (like HDRI or Microsoft's HD View).

Technology

I have build these sides based on Microsoft ASP.NET-Technology. A Microsoft SQL Server is used as a database. Structure and content are held bilingual (german and english). A switch between the languages is possible for every web side. Beside this the layout can be changed between a light and a dark theme. The look and feel of the site is adapted from time to time - for comparison purposes here the first version, the style of the end of 2007, the version 2008 and the version 2009.

Altogether this Photoblog is online for 1178 days and includes 830 photos.

Equipment

At the moment, I use a Nikon D700, kindest with the lense AF-S 24-70mm. Have a look in the right-hand sidebar for a full list of the equipment. I shoot in RAW+JPEG format and post-process my digital images with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop CS3. Beside this I use occasionally the software tools PTgui (Panorama), Photomatix Pro 3.1 (HDR) and Microsoft Deep Zoom Composer.
