French-German funfair, Berlin, one hour after midnight

(ISO 200, f2.8 @ 35mm, 13sec., 01:00) This is a fairground ride for kids. I think I would be scared to death as a 6 year old having to face that guy in the black dress. On the other hand the owner did have a very gentle attitude when he noticed me taking this shot. He was smoking his last cigar that evening and told me that he needs to…

Leibnizstraße, Saarbrücken Burbach

(ISO 100, f8 @ 35mm, 30sec., 21:35) Focusing on the antennas in the background I didn’t notice the shadow of the man. I didn’t hear him either because the neighbourhood was pretty noisy. So it was a bit of a shock when he suddenly walked into the frame while I waited for the result to appear on the camera screen. He looked straight ahead and didn’t see me. A few…

Quarry, Little Switzerland, Franconia

(ISO 400, f5.6 @ 25mm, 176sec., 21:27) This gravel quarry is more than 30 km from Nürnberg (the next bigger city), so hardly any light pollution here at all. Actually it was pitch dark and I did struggle a bit with frame and focusing. That little light from the bottom left side was from a small lamp not a flood light and the rest of it was from the moon.…

Parking lot, Allée du Stade, Berlin

(ISO 200, f2.8 @ 30mm, 3sec., 01:04) This is the parking lot of the French-German funfair in Berlin after midnight. Yes, I went into the funfair after it closed and I start with showing you the last image I shot that night. I assume the remaining cars in the distance belong to people working at the place because all visitors had left by that time.

Circus Krone

(ISO 100, f8 @ 25mm, 5sec., 22:03) There was a lady behind the window of the circus caravan. She was typing in her Apple laptop (you can see the logo in the original size of this image) and didn’t notice me at all until her colleague pointed at me and my tripod. They both looked at me which made me nervous. Should I pack or should I stay and try…

Matchbox, Berlin Kreuzberg

(ISO 200, f8 @ 38mm, 30sec., 20:43) This was my second try. When I came home with the first one I noticed it was blurred – a little. I’d shot it on a tripod of course. How could it be blurred? So when I went back I tried to do it right with some extra care and then I noticed the reason because it happened again. I heard some faint…
