Some autumn impressions from Marburg

When my relatives from Switzerland visited Marburg recently, I took the opportunity to explore some well known and some less known parts of the city, trying to capture some autumn impressions. Since my uncle was unfamiliar with the Leica M8, I decided to take it along, not having used it much recently due to my ventures into film photography. I can say we had a good time, the Leica and I :-)

When I looked out the window this morning, I saw one of the most beautiful sunrises I have ever seen around here. (Not to compare to those I saw in Anatolia back in 2006, of course …)

What I hope for the NEX-7 to be.

I just joined the TalkNEX forum, a new forum dedicated to discussing the Sony NEX line of mirrorless cameras. My first post in that forum is about my hopes for the NEX-7, coming from the Leica M8, and some thoughts on rangefinder, analog and digital photography, and why I think that Leica failed at bringing the rangefinder idea into the digital age.

One from back in June, when the weather was still nice. We’ve head a pretty consistently overcast, cool and rainy July, with temperatures going as low as 10° C … *shiver* Only since yesterday it’s getting warmer and sunnier again. To brighten everyone’s mood, here are some summer colours sprinkled with a bit of Zeiss Planar magic :-)
