Puuuhh, ist mir heiß !! Allgemein mag ich den Sommer nicht besonders, die Hitze ist das eine, das für Fotografen interessante Licht ist zu früh oder zu spät am Tag. Leider gehen häufigere Fotoreisen in nordische Gefilde auch ins Geld und aus lauter (Hitze-)Not eines der hiesigen (Problem-)Bäder aufsuchen ist auch nicht so mein Ding. Was bleibt ? Früh aufstehen. Noch früher. Unfassbar früh. Schlafen kann ich eh nicht richtig bei der Hitze und so bin ich fast jeden Tag vor 4 Uhr morgens schon unterwegs. Bahnhöfe, Industrieanlagen, man kann coole Sachen nachts fotografieren, und, wenn man ein geeignetes Objektiv hat, sogar ohne Stativ !! Mein neustes Spielzeug ist ein VILTROX 35mm 1.8 ii EVO. Für nur 300 € bekommt man ein kompaktes Objektiv, das selbst bei Offenblende bis in die Ecken extrem scharf ist ist. Das dreimal so teure NIKON-Äquivalent ist nicht annähernd so scharf. So war ich gestern morgen in Heidelberg unterwegs. Um 4.30 Uhr hat es 26 °C, die Stadt ist wie ausgestorben, Endzeitstimmung. Und das Fotografen-Herz schlägt höher. 😁

Phew, I’m hot! Generally speaking, I’m not a huge fan of summer; the heat is one thing, but the light that’s interesting for photographers comes too early or too late in the day. Unfortunately, frequent photography trips to northern latitudes are expensive, and out of sheer (heat-induced) desperation, heading to one of the local (problem-plagued) public pools isn't really my thing either. So, what’s left? Getting up early. Even earlier. Unbelievably early. I can’t sleep properly in this heat anyway, so I’m out and about before 4 a.m. almost every day. Train stations, industrial sites—you can photograph cool stuff at night, and—if you have the right lens—even without a tripod! My latest toy is a VILTROX 35mm f/1.8 II EVO. For just €300, you get a compact lens that is extremely sharp right into the corners, even wide open. The Nikon equivalent—which costs three times as much—isn't nearly as sharp. That’s how I found myself out in Heidelberg yesterday morning. At 4:30 a.m., it was 26°C; the city was deserted—an apocalyptic vibe. And my photographer’s heart beats faster. 😁
