A380 on the airfield of Hannover


A380 on the airfield of Hannover, originally uploaded by S3er.

Zoom shot with my Tamron 18-270VC freehand from a borrowed ladder. I had to use the ladder because of ugly high fences around the viewing point.

In full 270mm zoom the lens produces quite a few chromatic aberrations but it is easily correctable afterwards.

Flamingo Freeze

It's a really hard winter here in Germany. My fiancée, some friends and I went to the zoo in Hannover some weeks ago.

Most animals where inside but these poor flamingos had to stay outside in the cold water...

Akihabara Colors


Akihabara Colors, originally uploaded by S3er.

Akihabara is the famous electronic district of Tokyo. It is loud, crowded, crazy... and it is really colorful, especially at night!

I took this picture by holding the 350D out of a window so don't make jokes about the sharpness ;) It is quite a miracle that the shoots at 1/15 and 1/4 (18mm no IS) where usable. Well the 1s exposure didn't work out... :D

Also catching the train and the crossing phase in one picture was not easy because I had to fight with my three buddies for the window spot ;)

Akihabara closed


Akihabara closed, originally uploaded by S3er.

I toke this picture after a street procession in Akihabara, Tokio.
The Street was closed so I had time to put my tripod in the middle of the Street :)

I did the processing a few month ago but I had the feeling it wasn't finished. Now this feeling changed and here it is.
3 exposures , Photomatix and Gimp as usual...

When the lights go on....


When the lights go on...., originally uploaded by S3er.

This picture was taken from the top of the Tokyo Government. It's really amazing to see all the lights go on in the evening. And the best is their is no fee for entering the platform :D

Ps: I ordered a 70x50mm print of this picture. Looks really nice on the wall :)

Gundam in Odaiba


Gundam in Odaiba, originally uploaded by S3er.

Typical Japanese!

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the anime series "Gundam" they build a full-scale reproduction of one of this robot and placed it on Odaiba, an island in the bay of Tokyo.

But a simple reproduction wasn't enough: The head moves, emits light from 50 different places and jets of mist from 14 spots! Totally crazy!
