Inspired by Freki's thread I decided to start my own one. Every day I will show you a different photo from my travels and trips that took me to hundreds of cities in 39 countries on 5 continents so far. I will include photos of everything ranging from 20+ million megacities to small villages, from major landmarks to things that are totally off the beaten path and probably I will throw in landscape photos as well every now and then.

Here's the first one:

Nanjing Donglu, SHANGHAI, CHINA

Piazza Venezia, ROME, ITALY

I envy people who get to travel as much as you, mr. denmark(freki), hkskyline


Keep up the good work.

Nice thread, makes me want to start my own!

Since SSC was down for a day, it's two photos today.

As I promised you, I won't just focus on major cities but I will also show you some smaller ones. Today it's Wuerzburg in Bavaria, a city that really reminded me of a smaller version of Prague. A well-preserved oldtown with tons of churches, a river flowing right through the center, surrounded by hills and a huge fortress on top of it.

A visit to one of my favorite cities in the world...Sydney

Opera House, SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA

http://www.jochenhertweck.com/pics/australia2005/sydney/opera/157_5748.jpg

After paying a visit to Sydney at the other side of the world yesterday, let's go closer to home today. Haarlem is a lovely city just a 15 minute trainride away from central Amsterdam.

Grote Kerk van St. Bavo, HAARLEM, NETHERLANDS

There seems to be a strange problem with my homepage (which is also where all my photos are stored). Obviously people from Scandinavia (esp. Sweden & Norway) can't see the photos right now. Don't ask me why, but it's really strange. I've already contacted my webhosting company about it, so hopefully it will be solved soon. If anybody else can't see the photos, please let me know it.

Anyway, in the meantime for those that can actually see my photo here's the newest update.
Ayutthaya was the former capital of Siam and one of the world's largest cities in 1700 with an estimated population of 1,000,000 inhabitants. However it was destroyed by the Burmese in 1767 and the capital was moved to Bangkok afterwards. Today the city only has a population of approx. 55,000 but the remaining ruins are still really impressive.

Wat Ratchaburana, AYUTTHAYA, THAILAND

I can see the photo's just fine.

I really like that shot of Marienburg. Seems like a very nice place.

Thanks :)

Today we are paying a visit to Istanbul, the only city located on two different continents. The Suleymaniye Camii (built between 1551 and 1557) is Istanbul's largest mosque, larger than both the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque and given its prominent location on top of a hill in the district of Beyazit visible from most parts of the city.

After I showed you photos of structures that are several centuries old during my last 3 updates, I guess it's now time for something more modern.

Raffles Place, SINGAPORE

The Palais Grand Ducal is the official home of the Duke of Luxembourg and located in the middle of Luxembourg City, the capital of the world's richest country (per capita).

Today's update takes you to Europe's green island - Ireland. The docklands area is where most of the current development takes place in the Irish capital and in the front you can see the Famine Memorial dedicated to the victims of the Great Famine of 1845 - 1852 which reduced Ireland's population by 20-25%.

Docklands, DUBLIN, IRELAND

do you use a automatic routine/script to edit the pictures or do you hand-edit them?

so you copy your signature in every file instead of a macro... I was asking as I see many images with signatures in them. It seems to be ery time consuming that way

Putting in the logos just takes 2 seconds, adjusting the brightness and the color saturation in the photos actually takes a lot longer. And the copyright logos are unfortunately also necessary these days. I didn't put them on my photos when I first started my website, but after a while I found my photos all over the internet and even companies using them without permission and a fee (a common problem these days)

Awesome work as always mate - beautiful pics! :happy:


I been wanting to ask you if you ever get tired of travelling?

I'm not so much thinking about the exploration itself, but more the planning and booking and waiting and delays and all that stuff..

I haven't traveled nearly as much as you but I did "in my prime" go every 2-3 months, now it's like I've hit a wall where every 4 or 5th month is more than enough, I even skipped a winter trip for the couch this year :)

I still like the travel itself, but all the planning and picking locations - I mean sure everywhere is technically interesting but it doesn't mean it has one's interest especially compared to places one has already been.. and there also have to be something left for later in life - it's not that big a planet after all.. :)

Is photo documentation starting to feel more like a job than a hobby?

I was just wondering if it's only me? :)

I been wanting to ask you if you ever get tired of travelling?

No, it's still by far my favorite hobby. In fact if it would be possible, I would be happy doing basically nothing else.

I'm not so much thinking about the exploration itself, but more the planning and booking and waiting and delays and all that stuff..

Depends, the booking itself is done in a really short time and in recent times I've taken a more relaxed approach when it comes to the planning. In fact I often only book a third or even just a fourth of all the hotels of a huge trip and decide the rest of my route when I'm there. This way I'm also more flexible and able to spend a day or two more in a city I like or shorten the visit in another one, which doesn't interest me all that much. Just get some really good guidebooks which can provide you with lots of information (I usually use Lonely Planet and Rough Guide) and you'll be fine. So the planning doesn't require all that much time even for a 6 or 8 week trip. And waiting and delays happen everyway, no matter if on your way to work or in your vacation.

Is photo documentation starting to feel more like a job than a hobby?

The photography itself is a hobby but the photo editing often feels more like a job considering I take appox. 25,000 photos each year.
