Scorching heat in August in the Murcia region.
Here I just took the photo as a base, for the fun of it, to create my own picture…
Post-processing with a Photoshop version more than twenty years old. That is still real handwork.
AI NEVER comes into play with me (although my camera probably already uses it).
I have always taken photos, probably like many others.
That gradually intensified more and more.
Today photographing is part of a journey: ONE value of travelling is that I make an image of what I see, that I can capture the fascination something triggers in me. How do I have to photograph the Eiffel Tower so that its majestic force can be experienced in the picture?
I have been taking photos with a smartphone ever since smartphones existed. Very practical, just one small device for everything.
I always had a Samsung, but at some point that wasn’t enough for me any more. So I had the choice: a smartphone and a camera, or a smartphone with a very good camera. At the moment I use a Xiaomi Pro 15 with a Leica camera.
