On Saturday the 27th of September there was a Photowalk in Eisenstadt organised by Andreas Hafenscher. I think we were 10 photowalkers and it was really funny, even though the weather wasn’t perfect.

But I have to criticise the public transport system from Graz to Eisenstadt. With the train you can go via Bruck a. d. Mur, Wiener Neustadt and Soporn (Hungary). Departing in Wiener Neustadt it is also possible to take a bus to Eisenstadt . Nevertheless it took about 4 h to get from Graz to Eisenstadt.

Last week I had some fun, ok it wasn’t that funny, with creating a new website (in German) with the help of my younger brother Lukas.

On this new site I will summarize my last 4 trips to foreign countries. As far I’ve finished the longest part, the trip to China. The other trips to Tanzania, Poland and Iceland will follow soon.

My new website: cprokop.org

3 B&W shots of this China-trip:

On 26th of August I crossed the ‘Ragga-Schlucht’, it’s a canyon in Carinthia, for my first time.

A few photos of this canyon:

One of my biggest problems with my (landscape) photos are the colour gradings (Farbabstufungen), at the moment. Especially sunset pictures without clouds and smooth colour gradients (Farbverläufe) are affected by this problem.

In the Internet-fora I read that the gradings are the result of 8-BIT-JPEGs and above all the different quality and settings of our TFT-panels, mainly the brightness and contrast.

My answer was to commute my RAW into Black&White files. The BW-gradients are easier to handle with, I think.

Nevertheless there is one coloured shot (unfortunately it’s another shot with visible colour gradings):

Today I had a longer tour with my bike, than normally.

Klagenfurt-Velden-Rosegg-Ressnig-Maria Rain-Klagenfurt (~85 km)

I also took my CAM along:
