A summertime evening walk

Posted on Mai 24th, 2014

A beautiful summer night in the medieval town of Weinheim. It was mild, clear and the people enjoying the evening outside in a restaurant. The castle in the background completed the image of this picturesque village.
This image a perfect example for a nice relaxed summer night. Can you already feel the summer is coming?

The fontain and the stars

Normally I shoot starscapes in the alps, because of the less light pollution. But who say it’s not possible to catch some stars in a city? I can see stars here, not so many like I do in the mountains but they are there.
This fontain is in the castle garden of Weinheim in Germany. The interesting shine in the sky comes from the fast moving clouds while I was shooting totally about 160 secounds.

Roses in the night

If I’m in a city I can’t resist to go for a nightly photowalk, so I did it in the beautiful German city Weinheim. There is nice castle in middle of down town and directly behind it is the wonderful castle garden. There are people walking around, sitting there, drinking beer or what ever and have a loud dispute about their relationship. And they won’t go away for long time. Therefore I used my usual technique to remove people out of my images by taking several shots. At the end, I have a clean empty garden with roses, stars and a castle in the background.

The handy man

This was the night before the wedding of friends of mine. It was a mild spring night and we stayed outside of a restaurant in Weinheim, drinking, eating and were anticipating for the next day.
As a nightly photoshooter I could not resist to take some images of this pretty small town. At the background you can see the nearby church and at the top of the trees you see, it was not completly windless. What also cool is, there are not only this yellowish sodium vapor lamps and this gives the image more colors. It is a bracketing series of three with 2ev steps.

Weinheim at sunset

One year ago, me and my wife were invited to a wedding in the beautiful small town, called Weinheim near Frankfurt in Germany. Of course I was photographing this event :). At the day before, after our arrival, I saw this nice alley with the restaurant and I couldn’t resist to take a photo of it. The sun was allready deep in the sky and send her colorful light to this scenery.
I took a bracked series of 3 images with 2EV steps, for this hdr shot.
