Visa pour l’Image

That were great days. Thanks and regards to all the guys I met there!

Schools for Africa
Luzile Xhosa, the principal of the school, talks about the way the school is run, why learning English is important for the children and could be a way into a better future.The school is funded by a Canadian charity project: Tour operator Marianne Schubeck from Victoria, BC is raising money to get this preprimary school going and to give a future to the children.
Lynx
A first test of the Canon 5D MK II ‘s video-function. Shot at ISO 800 with EF 300mm/2,8 + 2x Ext. at f 5,6 and EF 28mm/1,8 at f 1,8 and f 22.
I shot these scenes at Harz Mountain National Park in northern Germany where they have a very succesful reintroductery project for the Lynx. The Lynx in this video live in an enclosure to show visitors of the park how these cats look like and how they live. The enclosure is the public relations part of the reintroductery project.
For this shot I used a rig build from parts I allready have in my toolbox. I think handling the camera with a rig makes thinks easier and more convenient.

On Safari…
Shot on two Game Drives at Balule Game reserve with a Canon HF 100. There the Pondoro Game Lodge is an excellent base to enjoy the bush and to see the wild African animals. The Game Reserve borders Kruger which means that there is no fence between them and Kruger an that the game can roam free between the park an the reserve.
Der Bassmacher
Gerald Marleaux baut seit seinem 14 Lebensjahr E-Bässe. Was er als Jugendlicher angefangen hat, weil er kein Geld für ein fertiges Instrument hatte, ist mittlerweile zu seinem Beruf geworden. In 26 Jahren hat er dieses Handwerk immer weiter verfeinert. Seine Bässe gehören mittlerweile zur internationalen Spitzenklasse und sind bei Amateuren und Berufsmusikern weltweit gleichermassen begehrt.
