A blog where Florian tries to post one photo per day.
Went downtown today with a mission: The little one had her mind set on getting her ears pierced, since it's her sixth birthday tomorrow. But when the time arrived and she saw the piercing apparatus, she wasn't motivated any longer. So instead, we walked along the Christmas market, bought some Trdelník and then went back home. Her time will come, once she's ready.
The bike needs new brake pads, so we took the car this morning. This is not great in terms of photography. I can't just stop when I see something interesting. Hence, trying to find something visually interesting just now. Observing light and shadow, it is.
You know the rules. Whenever there's a mirror, take a selfie – especially when it is discarded and oddly placed.
Health-wise, nothing has changed really. Still hanging in there… tea to the rescue. 🤞
Photo from a couple of days ago, because I didn't go out much today. Only getting the kids from/to school/kindergarten. Drank lots of tea today, trying to prevent an oncoming sickness. Let's hope it is working. 🤞

The girls played hairdresser and Ulya got all the hair clips.
Pedalo. Kinda feel the color today.
Early morning Christmas tree.
The Flock. Image from yesterday. I kinda regretted not posting it when I saw Jasper's image, because it would have fit so nicely!
Mirror triangle selfie with the little one.
Getting this daily posting thing off my plate early today, with these two photos of the same bird, taken yesterday at Gruga.
Love the rendering and compactness of the 23mm 2.8. I expect this to be my always-on, everyday carry for a long time.
Spending the day at a friend's house. She's basically living on a horse farm. Obviously the kids wanted to take a tour and get to know the animals, which included miniature horses and a donkey – which greeted us with his signature call – which the kids found to be quite disturbing. 😂 It was very loud! (I should've recorded it!)
TV tower during blue hour.
I swear I have made this image in a different season, but I wasn't able to find it just now. I really wanted to link to it. Maybe I look again tomorrow… Update: I found it! Slightly different perspective.
Got this one early, during my morning commute.
It has been really hard to find the time to make images these last couple of days. Really looking forward to some vacation time at the end of the month.
She used a sewing machine for the first time today!
Tubes.
Stephen is currently visiting from Scotland.
Took part in a photowalk organized by Foto Erhardt (formerly Frankenberg, where I bought my trusty M years ago) earlier today. Tested a Voigtländer 28mm F2.0 Ultron, which I used for all of the images above. (I forgot to set the lens/focal length in the camera settings, so this info is missing in the metadata.) I don't like doing in-depth reviews or "test" shots, I'd rather go by feeling, so: This lens feels incredibly sharp! I am impressed. Thanks David, for the introduction to the brand and the friendly conversation!
What a beautiful object. About to send it back…
Went to the Christmas market with the kids. Much less crowded than expected, which was nice! But prices for everything, especially food, are out of this world. The Christmas ball ornament in the last photo unfortunately wasn't that clear so the reflection of us is not really sharp. I still like it and I love shots like this in general!
Another one of those days where I didn't get any interesting pictures, so I am sharing this image of Tiny (the dog) from Sunday. We had her visit before, a couple of times last year, when she was even more… tiny.
I am thinking of opening up the archive to the public. I have been working on it recently, made it work on mobile, and added pagination.
Observing color.
Took the photo above when I picked up my daughter from her friend's birthday party.
I started a new photo project today. I wanted to do this for years at this point, and today it finally kicked off! I'll keep this one close to the vest for now, so you only get the teaser image above – though I am very happy with today's yield. 🙂 The plan is to build up a portfolio of images before I decide what exactly I want to do with them. (A book or at least a zine is a very likely outcome.) I'll keep you posted!
I managed to find a couple of images from yesterday that I don't hate. One interesting thing to note is that the lowest ISO across the images above is 4000 – the highest is 25,000! (Not sure why I do not show the ISO in the meta data, probably gonna fix that some time.) This is really amazing! I wish I could have used the Monochrom in Berlin for beyond tellerrand. Oh well…
Anyway, I remembered that I built this audio feature, which I never use. Thought I'd capture the Heat atmosphere for a couple of seconds. Press P to play (or click the audio icon)! 🙂
