I'm going to be in Italy (the area around Milan & Lago Maggiore) next week (so that means I'm not with most of my friends during my brithday on Sept. 27th :/) and some hours after I get back home my plane to Berlin leaves already again.
A German politican invited me to stay for a week to take some photos around the governmental area including the German Bundestag (the German parliament) and also to take part in some conferences, meetings and debates. I'm very excited and I'm looking forward  for this great possibility. More information in his day.

More London photos are going to be online soon. I try to upload one more before I leave to Italy
Until then feel free to check out my blog for a lot of London-photo-impressions if you're interested to see the results

Thanks for your great support, all your favs, comments, watches and nice words. It really means a lot to me I'm really sorry that I haven't always time to reply on every single comment but be sure I read an appreciate all of them

if you're interested in some photo updates from london (including shots from the muse gig @ wembley stadium) check out my blog at www.tokography.com!

i'm sitting in a pub in london with ~Xenon-8 (he shares his internetconnection right now...rally kind of him ) and ~mareika, drinking a beer and eat some stuff. we've had a nice day and took some good photos today, ~Xenon-8 and ~mareika guided me and a friend through the city.
we just thought about you and wanted to say "hello"


it's from left to right:
, and

I'm going to be in London from September 9th to September 14th!

The main reason for my trip is the Muse concert @ Wembley Stadium on Sept. 11th but of course I'm also very excited to take lots of photos in the UK.

Are there any deviants out there who are interested to meet me on Sept. 10th in London to take me on a (photo)tour through the city? Would be very amazing to meet at least some of my dA-friends and watchers there.
I'm there with four friends of mine, two of them attend the gig on Sept. 10th and the other two spontaneously decided to order two more tickets for Sept. 10th without asking me (well you see...good friends I have ). The thing is: I'm alone and have absolutely nothing to to in London on the afternoon & the evening of Sept. 10th.
One more thing in general: if you know any nice (must) photo spots in London I would be very thankful if you share some of them here

So far for the moment. More photos very soon I'm just a bit in lack of time during the last days. I'm also going to answer on your comments as soon as possible

Late night/early morning post

It was so exciting and such a pleasure for me to meet a good friend of mine (I got to know her on deviantART!) on Wednesday and Thursday: ~MyLoveisMusic - make sure that you check out her gallery she has got a lot of nice photos online.

We went to Frankfurt on both days and did some more test-shots with my new fisheye lens. One word is enough: awesome! Even if the walimex 8mm isn't made for full-frame cameras I did a lot of shots with my 5D and the angle looks incredible (I also took some test shots on my 30D with ~Dealerchen during the last days. More soon!).

You can find some photos from Frankfurt on my blog! It's in German but you can find all the photos below the text - and I don't think you need to speak German to have a look at the photos -- I'm going to upload some of these photos here on dA during the next days, too


It was so much fun with Nicole and I hope we're going to meet again in some time

features:

A big THANK YOU goes out to `fritsvandersloot who bought me a new one year premium membership Thanks so much for that it means really a lot to me
He's the founder of the #europeans-group for all European people on deviantArt. So if you're an European go and check out this group - it's worth it




This time I also got some "equipment-news". As you may know some weeks ago I asked you to suggest me a fisheye to buy. After I read a lot of reviews and test, saw sample photos and talked to some people who already got a fisheye-lens (like !alsebka who gave me some information) I finally decided to take the walimex 8mm fisheye. It's a manual fisheye (no autofocus and manual aperture) but it works really fine. Both on the Canon EOS 30D and also the Canon EOS 5D (with a black border). I took some sample photos for you and I'm going to take some "real" (or good?) ones during the next days in Frankfurt/Main, Germany. I'll take this lens to my London trip (Sept. 9th to Sept. 14th - more information soon), too, hoping for some new and different ideas and shots!
Check out these sample photos and be patient for some real ones

FEATURES
_{Check out these works - some of my latest favs}

I think about buying a fisheye-lens (esepcially for the next New York trip and my city shots in general) and I need your help. Do you have any ideas and/or suggestions which one is the best? Do you also own a fisheye-lens and can provide a progress report or show me sample photos? Would be a great help

I own the Canon EOS 30D and the Canon EOS 5D and the lens should be usable with both of these cameras.

Thanks for your help best wishes to all of you and enjoy the weekend!

P.S.: More new photos (including New York shots) are going to be online soon :]

Have u seen this already? ~AnjaRoehrich and me got the same idea while walking over the street and this is "her vision" of it Stay tuned for another (diffeent) version that I took.
We spent an awesome weekend together and I'm going to drive home in about an hour.
And by the way - have you already seen those two "behind the scenes" videos from our weekend - including some making of's?
