Dance the night away

kweide — Tue, 09 Sep 2014 07:45:04 +0000

A stunning dance performance in the deep night, performed while a local party in the small village of Palma, Sicily. It was bad light, high speed dance movements but E-M1 caught the moments.

So trust your cam and try it yourself. You will be surprised of the result

The black princess

kweide — Wed, 23 Apr 2014 07:38:15 +0000

Coco, our black princess, our little chinese crested. So black her skin, so dark her little hair but always happy, friendly and ready for excitement. Optimism. On the stairs at the Hotel Classic in Florence. That’s just their thing. All day and half the night just pure adventure. People, sounds, smells, dogs, bulls, horses, pizza and tons of hedges, bushes and shrubs. And I’m glad that at least one woman wants to look no bags and shoes or fashion

Again Olympus E-M1 and the famous M.Zuiko glass

I thought back, i remembered long forgotten times. And suddenly it came back to my mind: The Palio ! What an event. A horserace, a rough one, on a rough ground, with strong and fast horses and even more stronger and faster riders. All of them so proud and sure to be the winner. We know, it can be only one !

And he was not the winner. His horse arrived way before him. But is was fun and such a great fight. Here you can see him and his furious black horse. Proud and full of power.

The fast and the ….

Strolling in the cold ancient Dresden along the Elbe and wondering about the hordes of young guys in Santa Claus costumes. Accompanied by young girls , well supplied with drinks (including alcoholic ), organized in small groups of Santas, all along the historic buildings on the Elbe. Wondering whats going on, questions in our faces until we saw the sign : A competition : Santa Claus Season sack race … cool … I thought. And before I could even begin to change the lens accordingly ( had the 12mm on my EM1), BOOOM, the wild things go. They went off like shot from the rubber band.

This gentleman was so breathtakingly fast , I barely could follow him . His technique , short jumps, and so insanely fast …. he outperformed, he outclassed ALL . Well, at least the first hop of his opponents teams. Others gave up exhausted , yet others were probably already too immersed in the mulled wine and lay , shuddering with laughter on the floor. That was just great.
And I ? With the EM1, at the height of the action, with the 12 mm ….. and Dresdner Stollen in my stomach … LOL

Whether or not we had fun ? What a question …

Dresden

kweide — Mon, 09 Dec 2013 18:20:05 +0000

It is worth a travel. Go and see Dresden in these days. It is full of wonderful and surprising buildings. Full of people, full of fairies. Stollen and Glühwein and if you like a Bratwurst as well :) And please stay until the night crawls in. You can see the famous church illuminated like this.

Breakfast in Tuscany

kweide — Sun, 27 Oct 2013 08:00:12 +0000

What is better than an Italian breakfast in Tuscany? Sitting in the garden, the first rays of sun through the branches of trees break seeing the flareghosts in the lens? This (croissants here already in the stomach) and a large espresso ….

Have your camera ready… always !

Rock it !

Rock IT ! And he did it !! I think he did it very week. To get the most out of this scene i converted it into a strong, contrasty and grainy B&W picture. You like that ??

Olympus E-M5, no flash

Princess on vacation

kweide — Sun, 08 Sep 2013 06:22:51 +0000

Yes, she is the little princess. Look how she enjoys the high position :) Now she is the princess, she has the power. What a little gem she is. But her behavior is more rude. Just about 2.5 KG in weight she thinks being a Pitbull in protecting her territory and her family. No fear but fast and full of power. It is a always a surprise when she, detecting an alien dog, flying against them so blazing fast you can only see some white streaks and her white little teeth. Its like a black lightning :) And she never failed…. not yet

Left too early

kweide — Sat, 31 Aug 2013 10:41:14 +0000

You left too early. The only reminder of you, the last sweet warm spot in the bed, the switched on little light and a touch of parfume in the air… You left too early, no goodbye kiss, no smile… made me sad … alone in the hotel room with sweet memories of you.

Dance with me …

Dance with me in this hot, golden light of beginning dusk. Touch the sky, feel the emotion, feel the power. Thats what this tree tells. And you would be foul not hearing what it says. So sit down, watch the gentle move f its leaves in th golden light of beginning dusk, the late afternoon, see its arms reaching for the sky, touching heaven, embracing the sky, connecting Mother Earth and Father heaven. Embrace it and dance with the tree…establish an emotional layer between you and the tree. Let it work.
