Late this fall we made a short trip to France to shoot for Torqeedo. Here're some outtakes.

Kürzlich gings noch einmal in den Schnee, auf Deutschlands höchsten Berg die Zugspitze. Dort und in Garmisch haben wir für Planet Sports Action, Lifestyle und Portraits fotografiert. Jetzt zum Launch des neuen Logos finden sich einige Bilder auf deren Team-Webseite und Facebook. Einen Neuzugang im Team gab es auch zu feiern - Marko Grilc!
Planet Sports hat eins der stärksten und interessantesten Snowboard-Teams, um mehr Fotos und Videos zu sehen, lohnt sich der "Like" auf Facebook auf jeden Fall.

Behind the Scenes

Recently I had the pleasure of shooting the fine snowboard team of Planet Sports. Summer snowboarding on Germany's highest mountain the Zugspitze, fun times bowling with the guys and some portrait shoots in and around Garmisch. Good times, thanks everyone involved!

SHOOTING GOLF

// DEUTSCHE VERSION WEITER UNTEN... //

I've been shooting some Golf again. It was great fun shooting it, quick decision based on how the weather is going to look like in a few hours during sunset. Got to the course, took a cart, raced to the location, set up and fired a few frames away before the sun disappeared. Sometimes I really enjoy working that way. I can't post the actual photo, but here's how our little setup looked like (people love that stuff):

quick and easy light setup with two Profoto strobes

Vor kurzem habe ich wieder Golf fotografiert. Nachdem das Wetter für den späten Nachmittag gut aussah sind wir schnell los, unkomplizierter Aufbau und los gings bevor es zu dunkel wurde. Das eigentliche Bild kann ich leider noch nicht zeigen, das muss noch vier, fünf Monate warten. Hier unser Aufbau - zwei Blitze, Schläger und ein Eimer Bälle.

HAWAII pt.2

Okay, here're some more (or less) randomly selected shots from Maui. Maybe I'll post a few more of these before I'm switching to full-on winter mode...

Hang Glider

ENGLISH VERSION BELOW...

Letzte Woche hatte ich die Gelegenheit Drachenfliegen zu fotografieren. Die Inspiration zur Action waren auf Wasser landende Enten, die bis sie sich absetzen, schliddernd einen Strich über die Wasseroberfläche ziehen. War genauso spannend und lustig zu fotografieren wie es sich anhört. Hier ein paar Bilder:








Last week I had the chance to shoot Hang Gliding. The inspiration for the action came from ducks which slide on the water surface when landing. Had a great time shooting, thanks to everyone involved!

Hooray for Nikon

Usually I don't write much about equipment on my blog. If you would like to hear more, drop me a comment. On a quite frequent basis I answer questions on photography that people email me. I'm thinking of answering them on the blog so everyone can benefit.

Today I wanted to write a little something about Nikon, since I make a living by using Nikon products. I started using Nikon with an entry level SLR and soon got a F5. Now I've tried several cameras from their digital line, but almost 100 percent of the time I use a D3. I used to shoot a lot of Fuji Provia and if I was shooting in low light, I used to push the Provia 400 +2 stops. In that way I could shoot at ISO 1600 which did the trick for most situations.
I know that everyone is celebrating the high ISO performances that the new cameras have. I'm using it, but it's not the killer feature for me. I actually wish the D3 had ISO 100 as the basis ISO level. And here comes the 'but': I recently shot photos that would have been impossible other than using high shutter speeds at high ISO levels. This gave me a lot more room for ideas, stoked!
Another thing is the service. I'm a NPS member, means I can take advantage of the Nikon Professional Services. Apparently Nikon always used to offer great customer service. I based my decision to chose Nikon equipment back in "film days" on that. Today good service is essential to me and I'm having no complains whatsoever.
Brand loyalty as far as it concerns photographers is not such a big deal anymore in these days than it used to be. But besides having the right product line up, products that keep up to the expectations, the service is to me what makes the difference. So allow me a little hooray for Nikon here on my personal blog ;)

Urban Snowboarding

Recently I went shooting with my friends from Isenseven Movies to shoot some urban rail riding. Got some good snowboarding photos, quite far from the Alps.

I hope the shots will make it into the shred mags next season, so here are some random lifestyle photos for now:

Pleasure Photo Special 2009

Germany's Pleasure Magazine's Photo Special is on newsstands now. If you're into snowboard photography, make sure to grab a copy. It's one of the best photo annuals of all snowboard mags out there. I'm stoked to have some shots in this year's issue again.
