Eyes wide open

I’m really looking forward to the weekend. Really!! This week was really tough. Sure it is nice to be home, no questions. But working a major project on the US West Coast out of Germany sucks a lot of the joy right out again, considering the 9 hours of time difference. Twice this week my last web meeting with my US based colleagues finished at 2 am in the morning. Long hours and no photography.

So for this post I went back into my archive and found this shot from 2013. A great example why you should always look up, down and sideways  when roaming the streets with your camera. This lady was sitting behind a 3rd floor window in one of our big sandstone townhouses. Ok, the color tone of curtain and her dress are not a 100% match, but still, this is as good as it gets.

I took that with my Olympus OM-D E-M5 with the mZuiko 14-150mm F/4.0-5.6 travel zoom. Images specs 1/200 sec @ f/7,1 and ISO 200, 150mm focal length (equals 300mm in full frame equivalent).

The plan for tomorrow is to head to the city with the cam. And to keep the eyes open.

Check out the Learning Center for all my free tips and inspirations around photography, if you haven’t done already. Let me know if there are some topics you want me to write about.

Have a super weekend!

Marcus
