I returned this week from a 13 Day trip in Greece. Those days in the mediterranean sun together with my family on the island of crete and north greece were more than awesome. Will write more about that together with some new images in one of the next posts. After copying the images I took there onto my mac – and uploading the first bunch – I found my name below an image on the iStockphoto homepage…

Yippie-Yah-Yah!! What a saturday surprise!! Photo of the Week! Thanks to the judges for choosing this shot as IOTW on the 12th September 2009.

This feedback from Inspectors, Admins, CDs from iStockphoto makes my happy and pride. Thanks iStockphoto! In August 2005 I uploaded my first images here. Even after 4 years of shooting and uploading here, I didn`t lost any motivation or fun. I`m more than ever motivated to continue the journey as every single month before….

I`m still smiling while writing this… but wait…I have to go through all those images from Greece…

In the last posts in my blog I mostly showed examples from my landscape, nature and travel collection. This time I post some examples of my people – portrait collection. My ‘Models Woman Man People‘ Lightbox includes now more than 2400 images. There you find stock photos of men, women – young, mid adult and mature, children, group of people and couples. My collection of female portraits – women and girls, lifestyle, portrait, female beauty and fashion shots now has over 1400 images. I took those images between 2006-2009 in Ljubljana (Slovenia), Austin – Texas, Seattle – Washington State and St.George – Nevada (USA), Marseille (France), Barcelone (Spain), London (UK), Buenos Aires (Argentina), Malta Island and Berlin (Germany). So this post is a kind of ‘It`s a small world II’ and fits to my last post about landscapes and travel. Here are some examples -only portrait format- out of my women photo portfolio collection:

Here are the Lightboxes with much more images – horizontal, square format etc.:

No digital photo camera produces the beautiful square image format out of the box. Even the newest MF Digital Backs produce rectangle images. The difference between those worlds is that all Full-Frame or APS-C Format DSLR`s have the 3:2 image format and  MF Digital Backs/Cameras, like Hasselblad, PhaseOne or Leaf or capture the 4:3 image format.  This is due to the old film/slide format of 36mm x 24mm (for SLR`s) and 60mm x 45mm (for MF Cameras). So the old image formats from the 20th century went nearly 1:1 into the digital cameras.

The beautiful, classical 60mm x 60mm MF Format was dropped in the evolution of digital cameras as there is unfortunatly no “square digital sensor” available in the market. So cropping is as of today the only way to get the beautiful square format. And this has to be done on your computer after the image is already captured. I really would like to see a kind of viewfinder or focus-screen addition for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Leica etc. or the MF camera bodies which shows me only a square (or at least the borders of a square) in the viewfinder. That would be so useful for the composition while shooting an image and I can`t imagine that this might be “rocket-science” to develop. If you know where to get such a viewfinder screen or another good solution to see “the square” while taking the photo drop my an e-mail.

In the meantime Lightroom, Photoshop or Phocus have to do the job after the shot. In my iStockphoto Portfolio you find nearly 700 Squares.

Squares – Square Format Photo Collection

This time all the weather reports were correct. As the news announced yesterday we got the first snow here in germany. The sunny outdoor shooting season seams to be over now for this year. Not only because of the lack of shooting in the next few weeks – I did and I`m gonna do my homework by processing images I didn`t find the time to process so far.

My next travel starts mid december. I really can`t wait to jump into the airplane and to shoot new images and find some sun and relaxation.

Again to all of you readers: Thanks for the great response to my post regarding the 10 Credit iStockphoto Vouchers. There are still some of those istock credit vouchers available! You just have to drop me a short email istock_credits@me.com to get those 10 iStock credits for free and I will reply to your mail as fast as possible.

Last week I returned from a short one week trip to Seattle, Washington, USA. Between the 8th and 10th August the first istockphoto Diamondlypse took place in Seattle. The list of diamond contributers attending this istockalypse was really a kind of ‘who is who’ of the istockphoto community. I was pleased to have the opportunity to be a part of this ‘diamond-contributer-only’ istock event.

Here you find some images within my newest uploads in my istockphoto portfolio

Jumping for Joy:

To have a collection of all the photos taken at this Diamond’lypse event I established an iStockphoto Lightbox where all participants of the Diamond’lypse in Seattle can add their images. You find this Diamond’Lypse lightbox here:

Diamond’lypse Seattle 2008 Lightbox iStockphoto

As of today I didn`t find time to process a lot my images from seattle. I`ve still to process a lot of images from the last weeks and months before the seattle event. So, a lot more from the Diamondlypse Seattle will come up into istockphoto by mid-september. Anyway as a kind of preview, here are images I processed recently and the first bunch from the Diamondlypse in Seattle.
