As promised in the last blog post I’m sharing the monochrome images from our last beautiful hike around 12 lakes of the Carlit massif. Taken with Fujifilm X70, edited in Darktable. Thank you again for being here and checking this out. That week in the Pyrenees was an amazing experience and a true breath of […]Read Post ›
Continuing the visual diary on the recent trip to the Pyrenees mountain resort Les Angles. To see the first post, click here. On the second day, it was still hot. Too hot for the mountain weather. I checked the weather forecast on my iPhone and it indicated 28° Max… a slight sign. We came up […]Read Post ›
A few weeks ago I dove into my Fujifilm camera settings again, played around with some presets and stuck with the Velvia. I like the vibrant colours that it produces along with the high contrast to separate the subjects. Deep dark shadows work well and I can get the needed result with minimum editing afterwards.

This problem has been here for centuries and unfortunately is not going away. Racism is more present than ever and power hungry and corrupt police are going at it again. This […]Read Post ›
This picture was taken back in 2016 in the city of Arles in South of France. I remember taking a train from Montpellier on one hot summer day in August and going to see the famous annual Arles photography festival. Every year in August that city breathes photography. It’s an amazing atmosphere in the old […]Read Post ›
