Hi there !

It’s been a long time since my last post – I apologise. A lot has been going on in my life recently, preventing me from doing lots of photography or working on my website(s), Instagram and updates.

The same reason applies to this short post, but the last solar eclipse on 12 August, which was partial in Germany, is a good opportunity to break the stall.
Between 19:20 and 20:37, an amazing spectacle could be seen, despite the clouds, which added a special touch to the pictures. At its peak at 20:13, 89% of the sun was hidden by the moon, creating an incredible light and atmosphere.

The images were taken using two high-quality ND glass filters, which added up to a filter factor of 64,000. Some images were taken as HDR images (three, four and five images respectively). Silver sun filters and glasses for viewing these events have a filter factor of around 100,000 – never look at the sun without them!

See you,
your Mr.Mooseman

Hi again,

Lost Places have a magical atrraction to me. Getting into such places with their memories, buildings, equipment and the shadows of past times makes me shivers – and taking out the camera …

One word beforehand: Many urban explorers take their adventure from illegally entering such places. I don’t (maybe I am too fearful). But really comprehending and grasping such a site takes time, so from a photography point of view it is much better (real urbexers might say easier ) to just  concentrate on the site and it’s depicition without looking behind your shoulders every now and then.

This location in fact are two: An old and famous porcelain manufacturing site (which is really huge although only two of the four stores can be entered) and a much smaller abandonded gingerbread factory (the company still exists, but has moved and extended their business). Both can be rented in one run and are located in Arzberg (Upper Franconia) not too far from where I live.

As promised – images, nothing else … here you go …

See you in the past,
your Mr.Mooseman
