The Flood
Early 2018 Germany was hit with flood waters. This early morning the high water was accompanied by strong fog, drowning the city in an eerie atmosphere.
Bluetooth
The Hugo 2 can receive data via Bluetooth. It uses aptX with 352 kbps for 16bit-48kHz. I used focus bracketing for this shot and manually stitched 10 pictures at f/1.8 together. The lighting is all natural.
Aluminum
The Hugo 2’s durable aluminum body with black accent perfectly matches the iMac desktop computer.
Westone UM-1 (2017)
The new Westone UM1 might not be the first choice for the full hifi experience with impressive extension on both ends, strong low-end rumble or airy treble. But what they do, they do very well.

Autumn
I took this fast shutter photo tossing the Hugo 2 in the air and simultaneously dropping a leaf. Not gonna lie, took a few attempts. It would have been cooler to have a headphone dropping in the background too, but unfortunately I am not an octopus and thus limited to...
Rotterdam
Rotterdam is a beautiful and modern city that boasts creative architecture. This image is a high-resolution composition of several images over 8 minutes shutter speed. During the last shot a water taxi conveniently drove to the dock that gave this scene a dynamic yellow line. I decided not to straighten...
Image Stabilization
Although I’m not into shooting films, I wanted to try out the image stabilization of my new camera back in summer 2015. So I made this short clip on the river Mosel.
