Today is the 6th anniversary of my Fuji X-100. I used it for everything: street photography, landscape, architecture, nature, objects. I think this one will stay in my rucksack forever. I am still using it. But not as much as I should! I like the in camera black and white film simulation.

A reworked version of the “Rolling Hills” of Devon. Spectacular view and stunning landscape. Can’t beat that!

Rainbow Bridge

September 5, 2016 Reinhold Staden28 Comments

Mixed weather. Rain on one side, sunshine on the other side. While I was shooting this long exposure (180 sec) a rainbow appeared on the right side in the background for about 30 seconds. Enough to leave a trace in the image. A good start into your week! Smiles. Reinhold

I was lucky to meet 3 young men who were fishing at the lake. One of these guys positioned the net for me in the foreground. Very helpful!

Thunderstorm (Fiction Series)

2 images make up this composition. The lake Zwischenahner Meer in the evening and an image of a thunderstorm over the North Sea. I thought they go together well.

Lighthouse (Fiction Series)

August 21, 2016August 22, 2016 Reinhold Staden14 Comments

Some of you know that I like to play around with Photoshop. Since I decided to concentrate at landscape photography there is no need and not much room left to create compositions in post. I start a “landscape fiction series” with this post. So… in between my regular landscape photography posts… I will create a Photoshop composition of 2 or more photographs I have taken.

This one is made of a lighthouse located in the harbour of Bremerhaven and sand dunes at the beach of Schillig. A lighthouse should have a beautiful spot at the coast.
