Ostergau swamp, 2024
I had planned to photograph the Wyher moated castle. When I arrived there, everything was overgrown with hedges and bushes, so you couldn't see that the castle was in the water - that never makes for a good photo, I thought... Then I remembered that the Ostergau swamp was very close by - so I had to change my plans. But it took some time to get there - and I wanted to photograph the sunrise.
Then I was in the car park. Now it was a matter of minutes! Pack up my equipment and run off. I found a suitable spot. There were wisps of fog on the ponds. Take off my backpack, set up the tripod, quickly, quickly! The sun is about to come out! Take out the camera, carefully, quickly attach the lens, it's stuck! Damn it! Do it, man!! Attach the ground glass. Then I looked through the camera: That never makes for a good photo - further forward, run, to the left... now it might be right... And everyone always says: Analogue photography is for slow down!!! Really!
