From then on everything happened very quickly.

I learned the technical functionality of the camera via YouTube channels. A short time later, the camera could not be missing on any business trip. From now on, the lonely time in the evening was spent on the new hobby.

If I do something, I do it properly… and it quickly became clear that I needed more equipment:

the first tripod the first screw-on filters the first remote trigger Then I bought myself my own camera.

Since I live close to the Taunus Mountains and take many business trips near the Black Forest, it makes sense to deal intensively with landscape photography.

While I read some books and attended a few workshops, the hobby quickly became a passion.

Motivated by amazing Milky Way images from other photographers, I also started to get interested in night sky photography. This topic fascinates me very much, so Nightcape Photography has become an important part for me.

Meanwhile even the family got used to the fact that any vacation planning must be co-ordinated with the moon phases.

Here is a list of some equipment that I'm using frequently:

• Sony Alpha 7III
• Sony FE 16-35mm F2,8 GM
• Sony FE 24-105 mm F4 G OSS
• Sony FE 100-400mm
• ZEISS Loxia 2/50
• Rollei Rock Solid Beta Mark II
• MAVEN Color Coded Magnetic Photography Filters
• Move Shoot Move Rotator (2-in-1 Star Tracker)
