MOL Triumph and Thalassa Pistis

by Marc 05/18/2017 | 1 IMAGE IN THE BLOGPOST | No Comments

During the first visit to Hamburg Port I want to see the currently biggest container vessel, the MOL Triumph with it’s dimensions of 400m × 59m. But when I was at the port a second ship the Thalassa Pistis (368m × 51m) was tugged into the port and was moored just behind the giant at the Terminal Burchardkai. The tugboats where still alongside the ship, iluminating the szene together with the lights of the portainer just above the ships. For me this was the best moment to be at the port, with the different lights and the two big vessels.

Dockland after the rain

We had a full day of thunderstorms and heavy rain. But the good news, the rain stopped during sunset — just in time! We were at the Dockland a fantastic build office building, when the clouds and the setting sun created the best background for the illuminated stairs to the rooftop of the building.

Wasn’t it the best, to have puddles all over the concrete in the foreground? So it was so colorful!

I’ve never seen the famous St. Michael Church (called just »Michel« in Hamburg) from this perspektive with this green in the foreground. The light clouds give a very good contrast to the dark church tower and the leaves in the foreground a nice framing.

Clouds and light at the river Elbe

At fantastic april weather at the river Elbe. We went to the ferry, that passes the Elbe just half an hour away from Hamburg and is frequently used by commuters. Astrid love to paint Plein Air at this location and sometimes I come with my wife to take some shots at this lovely river shoreline.

I have created an panorama shot just5 a few moments later. It is more than 11.000 pixel wide and 4.400 pixel high, so I can easily create a print of 2 meters width!

April weather at its best! One sunday afternoon Astrid and myself went to the Alster Lake in the city of Hamburg. We found impressive light conditions with a couple of rainclouds at the other side of the lake.

Lightpainting with fun rides, that is best possible during the spring fun fair in Hamburg. I went there during the blue hour to capture some amaizing lightpaintings.

Very interesting was the fun ride »The King«. I got a lot of different images, depending when I started with the exposure. read more or write a comment …

Park at the Alster Lake in Infrared — Saison opening 2017

by Marc 04/25/2017 | 1 IMAGE IN THE BLOGPOST | No Comments

Seven years ago I shot a similar infrared photography of this 4 tall trees in the park at the Alster Lake. It was in May, also with fantastic clouds over Hamburg.

Today it was very cold on the meadows so there where only a few people around, most of them walking or running along the lakeshore. I didn’t stayed for long, but I managed to take the first shot of the infrared saison 2017 — the 13^th saison with infrared images from Marc Volquardsen!
