About

I was born in April 1978 and as I was getting older, I was always amazed and inspired by my dad, who was always carrying all his camera equipment throughout our vacation each day, for mainly taking photographs of landscapes, my mom and me.

Years later, I received my first point and shoot camera as a birthday present, and started taking photos by myself. I fell in love with photography. This developed through polaroid photos, slides and nowadays into Fullframe High-Quality photos taken with Canon equipment.

Why Canon? Because my dad used it and was always very happy with it, and in the beginning we could swap lenses. Until today I never attended a photography class, everything is self-taught or explained by my dad.

I never attended any post-processing class as well, but I do workd with Lightroom and Photoshop. I am happy when people like my photos. 

I always shoot RAW to ensure I got the best quality.

I travel all over the world to get more and more photos for my portfolio.

 

My equipment today consists of

Canon EOS 5D Mark III

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV

Canon EOS 60Da

ZWO ASI1600MM Cool

Canon 16-35 f2.8 L II USM

Canon 24-70 f2.8 L II USM

Canon 70-200 f2.8 L II IS USM

Canon 300 f2.8 L IS USM

Canon 500 f4 L IS USM

Skywatcher 200/1000mm Newton Telescope

 

 

Astrophotography:

All my astrophotography is done with a Canon EOS 60D, modified for astrophotography or a cooled ZWO ASI1600MM CMOS Camera, on an EQ6 mount, either through a camera lens or my telescope. The System is guided by an ALCCD QHY Camera attached to a 50mm Guidescope and guided by PHD. After months and years of experimenting, I am reaching the stage of showing the results. I shoot under the light polluted sky of the Rhein-Main-Area, Germany.
