City Views #107: At the Corner

15.1.2014 von Guido · Category: Blog, City Views, Mülheim


A view of the house at the corner of the Muhrenkamp and Eduardstraße here in Mülheim – it’s the same one that is visible in the previous photos of the little house on the Dickswall. This photo might be more effective in colour, because the house was recently repainted – the dark areas are actually red.

Jupiter and Moons

15.1.2014 von Guido · Category: Astronomy, Planets


Can you pick up Jupiter’s moons with an old digital bridge camera? It turns out you can: this is a 100% crop of an 8 megapixel image from my Canon Powershot S5 at 12x zoom – while the camera is not able pick up details from Jupiter’s cloud bands, all four galilean moons are distinctly visible here. It’s by no means a pretty shot, but it’s still amazing that it’s possible at all – this is another planet in our solar system with its moons! This was photographed on January 12th at about 19:00 CET.

First cactus flower shot of the day, a 2 second exposure at f/8 with tripod.
Only slightly cropped, otherwise straight out of the camera.
