Zeiss Grossplanetarium & Ernst-Thälmann-Park
I’ve been aware of HDR photography for ages but it’s one of those things that I had never got around to trying out. Until now. I had always thought of it as a way of creating surreal images but I’ve been having some difficulties with taking photos where there are big variations in the light […]
Ed Sheeran Performance and Signing at Alexa Berlin
By chance, I spotted a poster whilst out shopping advertising a performance and signing by Ed Sheeran at the Alexa Shopping Mall later in the day. I popped back with my camera to enjoy the music and get a few shots. Sheeran played four songs: Give Me Love; The A Team; Lego House and You […]

Barcomi’s Deli – Lunch in a Berlin Courtyard
Having worked up an appetite walking in the snow I decided that today would be a good day to go back to Barcomi’s Deli. Barcomi’s Deli isn’t the kind of place that is easy to happen upon.

The reporter […]

The Bird
When I set out this morning my only intention was to take a stroll around the fleamarket at the Mauerpark and see how it looked after yesterday’s light snow and build up an appetite for lunch. I didn’t have any intention of eating out but as has happened on previous Sundays, as I reached the […]
Love Thy Neighbour
Spotted in the snow on a car on Oderberger Strasse on the walk back from the Mauerpark.
