About

 

Thank you for visiting my photoblog!
My name is Uwe, I’m 44 years old and I’m living near Frankfurt/Main, Germany. My favorite photo-locations are the landscapes around Koblenz, Montabaur, Westerwald (nature park “Nassau”) and the  baltic sea (well once in a year ;)). I personally like the pictures I’m posting here, but I don’t claim that they please everyone. So I leave it to your judgement and I’m happy about every single comment, either positive or negative.

Contact me if you like!

In some pictures I use techniques like HDR, tonemapping, blending, and in some rare cases I also use elements from different photos, combining them to new ones. So please don’t expect to see the “reality” in every single picture on my blog. For me, photography and post processing are indissociable elements to gain the desired expression of my work. The photos and contents on this website are copyrighted by me, Uwe Eischens. Please ask for authorisation and permission *before* you make use of my photos for private or business purposes.

Equipment

There is no relationship between the photographic result and the equipment which is used to achieve it. There may be a difference if you reduce the work to it’s pure technical quality, but that’s not what counts to make a photo lovely. I’ve seen so many awesome pictures made with Polaroids, Lomo cams or even Agfa Klicks. So I try to use my equipment as a tool, nothing less, nothing more. And btw., this cognition has reduced my invests in photo-stuff dramatically ;).

Currently I’m using the following stuff:
Olympus E-30 DSLR
Olympus E-520 DSLR
Olympus ED 12-60mm f2.8-4
Olympus ED 9-18mm f4-5.6
Olympus ED 50mm f2 Macro
Olympus ED 50-200 f2.8-3.5

In addition I’m using a Velbon Sherpa Pro CF-540 Tripod with Benro KB-2 Ballhead and some B+W filters (ND, Pol, Infrared). For postprocessing the tool of the trade is an Apple iMac i5 27″ with Mac OS X, Photoshop and Lightroom.

Little Chapel

Little Chapel

Today I came across this little chapel. Outlined by a hedge and framed by oak trees, it’s a wonderful place to take a rest and think about stuff like the following quote. For where God built a church, there the Devil would also build a chapel. – Martin Luther

A path in the woods

ThePath

One of these moments in the woods to think of why the environment has to be preserved.

In the garden, after the rain. Here comes the rain again  falling on my head like a memory  falling on my head like a new emotion  I want to walk in the open wind  I want to talk like lovers do  I want to dive into your ocean  is it raining with you – Here [...]

First Blossoms 2012

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Spring makes a short break this weekend (but that’s ok, nature needs the rain), and our almond tree is fully in bloom. Like almost every year, I simply have to post a picture of an almond blossom, even it’s a very common subject ;).

Spring Break

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

After a long and dark winter, it’s so nice to see nature’s awakening again. Though the nights are still cold, we had warm temperatures (17-20° C) the last days and the sun is shining from a clear blue sky. Yet our catkin is blooming and the first diligent bees are on the job. This weekend [...]

The Water

Beach scenes of Zingst Peninsula There was a time I’d dip my feet And it would roll off my skin Now every time I get close to the edge I’m scared of falling in Cause I don’t want to be stranded again On my own When the tide comes in And pulls me below the [...]
