Just in case you wonder if you missed the last 5553 posts about Friday night’s Instawalk at Nuremberg’s Albrecht Dürer Airport (NUE), don’t worry, there was only episode 1 I posted yesterday. But I decided on the special numbering to celebrate 5555 followers for this blog. This morning, the “Streets of Nuremberg” passed the mark that I wouldn’t even remotely have considered reaching one day. Thanks to everyone regularly reading about my photographic musings, this is so much appreciated.
So this is the second post with some shots I took during the walk with 15 fellow Nuremberg Instagramers trough the airport’s car parks, organized by the admins @igers_nuernberg and properly authorized by the Airport press department. While yesterday’s post was mainly black&white photos, you find more color images after the jump….

It was my first ever Instawalk, and I was really curious how it would be. What I really liked was the total relaxed atmosphere. Once underway, everyone was looking for his/her own motives and compositions, there was never “waiting in line” to get the very same shot, something I really appreciated. Everyone was looking forward to the different views the other photographers would contribute and that would be shared via a dedicated Instagram page to which we got the relevant hashtags.






As mainly a street photographer, wandering through car parks and trying to find creative views to shoot was quite a challenge, but a challenge I found quite interesting submitting myself. As I’ve written quite a few times on this blog, giving oneself a dedicated assignment, also outside the own photographic comfort zone, is a great way to enhance creativity, but doing it in a group and sharing the results afterwards is a different animal, but one I thoroughly enjoyed.
It was especially enriching finally seeing the faces of the people I knew only by their Instagram account names (and this is how we introduced each others, by our account names 😉 ). A big heartfelt “Thank You” to the admins for organizing the walk and for NUE Albrecht Dürer Airport staff to make it possible. I’m already looking forward joining the next walk of the the Nuremberg Instagram community.
The cameras I brought were my OM-D E-M1 with the 12-100mm F/4 and the PEN-F with my WALIMEX Pro 7,5mm 1:3.5 Fish-Eye, plus a tripod. I started using the tripod, but soon was shooting handheld (as normally in the streets), due to the great image stabilization of the E-M1 combined with the (additional) stabilization system in the 12-100mm F/4 lens, that allows my to shoot 1/4 sec and still get pin sharp images.

Fantastic architectural design here.
Thanks, Richard, much appreciated! Marcus
Whose Richard?
Sorry for the mix-up 🙂 , your aliases are sometimes too similar 😉
It’s so colourful – airports in the UK just aren’t that interesting 😱
Are you sure 😉 ?? Thanks for commenting, Andy! Marcus
Fabulous series! Beautiful shots. The one of the stairways and the colorful doors are to die for! Thanks for sharing this very interesting experience and your awesome shots!
Thanks for your kind words, Angela, so much appreciated! Marcus
Make that 5556! 😋
Thanks :-)))
Agree with others, the exterior stairwell and color door compositions, especially the first, are brilliant!
Thanks, C.S., really appreciate your feedback! Marcus
Great images! Love the different coloured door for every floor!
Thanks, much appreciated! Marcus
A different colored door for each floor–what a brilliant idea. And such a wonderful photograph, too. Great images, Marcus.
Thanks, Lois, your kind words are very much appreciated! Marcus
My favourite was the staircase with each floor having a different coloured door – you are so creative Marcus to think of taking a photo like that! Congratulations too on your increase in followers, very well deserved! After enjoying a weekend away in Frankfurt last weekend, it’s back to mundane tasks at home like sweeping up leaves and ironing!
Thanks, Marion, appreciate your kind words so much! You know, I’ve searched my car in the old car park, so those colored doors really help to remember it after returning from one of the countless business trips. Wish you a quick return to traveling 🙂 ! Marcus
Cheers for the 5555! The parking garage takes are stunning.
Thanks, much appreciated! Marcus
Great shots of the coloured doors. Always good to get pops of colour in photos. Allan
Thanks, Allan, appreciate you taking the time to comment! Marcus
I think the colors would be easier to remember than numbers. The photos are great, my daughter lives close to Nuremberg but I always fly into Munich
I love these colourful doors in the carpark 🤩. I guess they help a lot in finding your car as colours stick much better than numbers. You so beautifully photographed them!
Congrats for 5555 followers 🎊🎉🙌🏼
Thanks, Daniela, so much appreciated 🙂 ! You know, I’ve searched my car in the old car park. When you arrive at the airport while on the phone, you just have no clue where you’ve left it. Those colors help (and taking a phone photo of the parking number 😉 )
Oh yes 😀.
The stairwell and car park are fab. And congrats on all your followers. Fab.
Thanks, Richard, it means a lot! Marcus
