The light collector - Sony FE 400mm f2.8 GM OSS
After using the Sony FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 GM OSS in Namibia in 2019, I replaced it in 2020 with the Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS, which was used in South Africa in February 2020. Both lenses did not convince me 100%. Therefore, I have now purchased the Sony FE 400mm F2.8 GM OSS.

New Video Trailer made for Dionysius Photography
Dionysius Hungerbühler is a Swiss photographer for architecture / interior, business portraits, event photography, wedding, portrait and people.
I have known Dionysius for a few years as a talented and dedicated photographer.

San Francisco? New York? Seewis! - Peter Aebli in "Mein hübsches Prättigau"
Peter Aebli, Präsident Kur- & Verkehrsverein aus Seewis erzählt mir interessante Ereignisse aus der Geschichte von Seewis und zeigt mir seine schönsten Orte.

Valencia - The film
We had already booked a house in Valencia province in 2020 and then the lockdown came. In May 2021 we have now made up for the trip to Spain and flew to Valencia with friends. We spent ten sunny and hot days in Spain at Casa del Mas, a well-known orange and lemon farm close to Canals (which, by the way, a Swiss founded in the 20 years of the last century). The organic oranges are fantastic by the way! Of course, we went to Valencia and admired the huge buildings of Santiago Calatrava.

Farewell Luggard, the Lionheart
My wife and I were in tears yesterday when we received the news from Angela Sheldrick about the death of our sponsored elephant, Luggard. Originally we were going to visit him in Kenya this year, but due to the pandemic we will not go to Kenya, Tanzania and Botswana until next year. Now Luggard has already crossed the Rainbow Bridge - Farewell little Luggard, we won't forget you!
Süüüpermoon!
Bei einem Vollmond im April spricht man auch vom «Rosa Mond». Dies hat jedoch nichts mit der Farbe des Mondes zu tun. Es gibt verschiedene Erklärungen dazu. Eine davon schliesst auf die Ureinwohner Nordamerikas zurück. Diese sollen den Vollmond im April «Pink Moon» genannt haben, weil zu dieser Jahreszeit die pinke Blume Phlox blüht.

As announced in the last blog entry I have ordered the GFX100S, which will hopefully be delivered at the beginning of March. I've been working with the GFX50R for over two years - now the GFX50R has found a new happy owner. Time for a tribute to the medium format Crop Master.
