About this photoblog

Thank you for visiting my photoblog. My name is Uwe, I'm 43 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.

About the treatment: 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 ;).

I prefer light gear these days. I sold my heavy Nikon and Canon stuff and bought a Olympus E-P2, an awesome piece of a camera. The output is absolutely compareable with a DSLR and the EVF is really great. So I took my E-P2, a Zuiko 14-42, a Pana/Leica 20/1.7 and the new Zuiko 9-18mm and I'm done. The whole stuff is lightweight and compact, though the output is top quality. No need to carry a huge and heavy 5kg backpack.

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.
