Rainclouds over the Alster Lake
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.
Fun Fair in Hamburg
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
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 13th saison with infrared images from Marc Volquardsen!
St. Pauli Elbe Tunnel
The St. Pauli Elbe Tunnel from 1911 is one of the industrial heritages in the city center of Hamburg. The north entrance still shows the cupola of the orginal building and the great lifts for cars are still operating to transfer passanger cars to the passage under the river.
Bielefeld — Marien Church
Last week I was on a business trip to Bielefeld. Luckely I had to stay over night, so I had the chance to visit the castle Sparrenburg near the center of Bielefeld. I went there in the evening during dawn. It’s always interesting to have a view form the castle down into the town and I love the view to the Marien Church with its slim twintowers.
It’s fantastic during blue hour when the chruch is illuminated in golden light with it’s color-contrast to the blue sky.
Schwanenwik Bridge
What a fantastic evening this saturday, the first saturday in spring!
It was the first warm and sunny weekend with some cirrostatus clouds so I hoped the sunset will be a nice play of colors. So I drove to a spot, I had long on my wishlist for an image. The bridge is at the eastern lakeside of the Alster with a view across the bridge Schwanenwik and the Alster Lake to the television tower in the background.
I wasn’t allone at this spot, two other photographers where already there with their tripots. So it went a happy evening as we waited for the sunset. I got a lot of images in different lights, different colors in the sky and later the streelights from the brigde. This is my favorite picture.
Chamber of Crafts of Hamburg
At a friday Silke Tüxen and myself had the chance to take photographs in another office building, the Chamber of Crafts. We got access to some of the rooms and the Great Hall of the Chamber of Craft. Our first way was into the library with its modern conference desk:
