Introducing print orders (beta)

Starting today, I will be offering prints and cards for my pictures using the Fotomoto print service. In the beginning, this service will run as a “beta” – I will be tweaking things on my site, layout may look a little strange and orders may take a while to be processed. The prints themselves though will be perfectly fine! The process itself is simple: Surf to the single image page by clicking the “read more” link. Below the image, you will find three links: Print, Card and E-Card. Choose your product (E-Cards via e-mail are free!) Follow the Fotomoto window...

Photography eBooks for the iPad?

After Apple finally announced the iPad last week, I have been thinking of nice ways to use it for viewing pictures and photo-eBooks.

That’s great. So I uploaded a photo to flickr to test it and reloaded my Facebook homepage. No photo. Here’s why: Facebook checks the data on your flickr photostream at a (random?) time about once per day. If there are new pictures, it posts them on your Facebook homepage where your friends can see them. That’s nice and for sure the easiest way of doing it. But sometimes...

Small experiment

I gave the challenge over at DPS a try: they give you a photo and ask for your take on editing. What I did: some tonemapping in HDRtist cropping (this and the rest done with Pixelmator) sky blur level adjustment slight sepia effect And here is the...

Ausgewählt auf Picturesocial.com: “Licht im Dunkel”

Seit gestern bin ich Mitglied des Netzwerkes Picturesocial.com. Und kaum habe ich mein Set “Picture of the day” von flickr importiert, landet auch schon ein Photo von mir unter den “Featured Photos“! In gewisser Weise ist das meine erste Auszeichnung. Geschafft hat es das Bild “Licht im Dunkeln”. Weiter so!...

Solar eclipse 2009 (Nagoya, Japan) photos

Nachdem ich die letzte totale Sonnenfinsternis 1999 in Ungarn sehen konnte, bin ich diesmal hier in Nagoya geblieben (wo es “nur” eine fast-totale war). Lei
