Sailing Photography by Sören Hese
Wide and wider – there is always the search for the best wide angle lens. This topic is as old as my full photography career – and I believe others are also again and again looking for the perfect wide angle. I started at the end of the 80s with a low budget 24mm Sigma lens for my Contax film...
Corona Contemplations In winter I usually try to find some time to concentrate on some creative unpaid projects that I started in summer capturing images but where I didnt manage to get the post processing and image grading or stitching or overlays done at all.

Our usual family move into the woods near New Year turns out...

Between the Years Contemplations I Some thoughts about On-Spec Shootings. 2019 was one of the years where I did intentionally reduced the amount of “on speculation” photo shoots. Most of us started that way – doing shoots that you hope someone recognizes and where you can sell some images later – given that you have the right contacts – the...
jetzt endlich online: die Senatspreis Galerie von 2019 ist jetzt hier online. http://soeren.zenfolio.com/senatspreis19 Wie immer bin ich zum Ende der Saison nochmal ziemlich ausgelastet – primär diesmal allerdings durch Vorbereitungen zu den verschiedenen Präsentationen/Vorträgen zu meinen wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten mit Drohnen im Hainich Nationalpark zum Monitoring des Buchensterbens. Die Aufmerksamkeit der Medien im Sommer war enorm – das hat viel Zeit...
