A city with an amazing history with architecture and atmosphere to match. It is a wonderful city with very old buildings and a canal system.

Rangefinder cameras give a larger view onto the scene, DSLRs don’t. This, in street photography, can make a difference when the composition is disturbed by people or objects unexpectedly coming into your composition.  In this video I suggest 4 ways in which a DSLR can be used to see the scene larger than the image

Kieler Woche is a sailing and boat regatta. It is very old, first named 1894. Here is a little taste of what Kiel has to offer each summer… Great place, much more exciting and interesting than one might think, but perhaps you have to be into the sea, seafaring, boats and ships to appreciate it…

Close to the airport the main brewery complex is located on a hill that over looks the airport in the distance. Located on and around Weihenstephan are the gardens and the pub. Great place, but you need

I am not into poetry, but I was preparing a set of videos on my thoughts on various subjects and found some of my “script” rhyming. As a result I got sidetracked and had a go… Thought I would share it with you for fun. Alex.,

The zoo is very easy for photography. The aquarium is underground and the room for the people has very low lighting, this causes very little reflection on the glass.
