Streetphotography in Monochrome

In the last couple of weeks, I worked on completely redesigning the website. The aim was to make it more functional and accessible – and give it a pretty new look. So, it took a lot of time, and I didn’t have much of it. Anyway, finally, it is ready for 2015, and I can get back to business – posting photography, it was, if I remember correctly.

Before I get to that, here is a quick orientation walk through the new site:
On the front page, you see a header showpiece on top (be patient if it doesn’t pop out immediately; it will load eventually). Below, the last seven posts are displayed in chronological order.  If you click “show more” at the bottom of the page, you can access the older ones. Another possibility for browsing through the posts is to use the calendar or the archives in the sidebar. I think the functionality is quite self-explanatory, so I won’t elaborate. There is also a neat search function on the sidebar and a tag cloud if you want it to be more topic-oriented. So, the site works mainly through the front page now, with the sidebar as a toolkit for navigation. However, the top menu is not gone entirely. The About or Contact section remained basically unchanged, so if you want to give me some feedback – that’s the way to go, and I would certainly appreciate it (or you can comment on the individual posts, of course) 🙂 The other menu points are brand new. So, the portfolio section is a new way to conceive and re-organize photo series by creating portfolios from thematically or geographically linked posts. So instead of searching all of my Uzbekistan posts, for example, here you have them in one place, ready to view.

Another new feature is the Store. You can buy prints or digital copyrights for specific pictures via the 500px store. It’s just a selection, if you need something else please contact me. So that’s it. Back to business:

Austrian Alps Pt. I

Traveling through Austria consists of large parts of wandering through valleys and lakes framed by endless mountains. And occasionally also of climbing one. That’s precisely what we did two weeks ago when we went up Mt. Schoberstein (something over 1,000 Meters). It is not the tallest one by far, but one with a marvelous view of the lakes of the Salzkammergut (in particular, Lake Attersee and Lake Mondsee). Afterward, I continued my journey to another famous lake, the Traunsee, where I took a boat ride across the lake, passing by the equally renowned Mt. Traunstein.

I have the pictures shot these days and want to present you in two posts. No particular order. Hope to spark some enthusiasm for the Alps! 🙂

Road Trip trough Southern Styria

On a rainy day like today, when water droplets are smashing against the window, I like to sort pictures and take a look back. I was very fortunate to come around a lot this summer due to my work in travel management. The first vacation I enjoyed was a week ago in my home country. Southern Styria is a beautiful piece of land in the far south of Austria, close to the Slovene border. It is well known for agriculture and wine production especially. The smooth green hills are perfectly fitted for vineyards, and the wines are mild and sweet. Due to the beautiful landscape and the excellent cuisine, Southern Styria has become a significant tourist destination in recent years. Today, you see the growing wealth in a region that was one of the poorest in Austria a few decades ago. I very much recommend a visit.
