berlin needle

 
 

with a height of 368 meters the berlin tv tower is the tallest structure in germany. the in the former gdr raised building has become one of the most prominent symbols of germany and is often playground of films set in berlin. so i thought it might deserve a role in my set as well.

summer is coming and therewith the need for an ultra lightweight photo option will probably grow in me again.

last week i followed the samsung galaxy s6 edge announcement with great relish since i don't own a proper smartphone besides my business blackberry. as a result at the moment i always have to take one of my cameras with me, even if the scenario is actually not really appropriate.

the first hands-on results with the s6 available in the internet lead to the initial conclusion that in terms of photographic aspects the new device seems to define new standards for mobile phones: i'm wondering if at least in good conditions the results will meet serious photographic requirements.

i'll report in the following way: either you will see sample shot with the mobile device's camera (sensor size 1/2.6", 16mp, 28mm, f1.9, optical image stabilisation, continuous autofocus) here in the blog or i'll mute about the phone issue from now on.
