Creating and publishing my coloring book on Amazon KDP. This is day one of my journey. #amazon #kdp #day1

🧐 As I am still learning with both, photography and image editing, any feedback, critizism and comments are welcome, so what do you think of these photos❓

📖 Last year I got myself a new camera to replace our old #CanonEOS600D - a #SonyA7iv together with a #Tamron28-200mm and a #Sigma14-24mm. This year I decided to challenge myself in a photography class, and visited a class on "Cool City Photography" by the #vhs in #Bremen. It was a 5 day class with 3 days of excursions, and different tasks. Each excursion day we had to pick 10-ish photos at the end that got professionally printed for the next day and then we discussed them next day. Also, each day we picked our favorites of the other participants photos and last day we narrowed that selection down to 12.

Here I'll present you my 10 picks from the first day of excursions. We went to the city center of #Bremen at a market day and where tasked to take some pictures of famous landmarks, as well as the market. We also got a spontaneous tour of the Bremer state parliament (the #BremischeBuergerschaft).

To challenge myself, I stayed away from any automatism of the camera, with the only exception of the ISO value. So on the first day everything, including the focus was done by hand. Another challenge for me was photographing other people; something I usually feel uncomfortable doing. For the class we where not able to edit the pictures in any way; for this post I converted them from RAW format to jpg (using #darktable) and added contrast using the color level and/or color curves (using #Gimp).

It was really fun, but also quite challanging, and I am not happy with all of the results; however I am really happy to have tried it out. Two of my pictures from the first day got picked as favorites by others, and one even made it to the final 12 (the one I coined "Roland Through the Looking Glass")

"Admiring Roland", Bremen — 13.05.2025 | 65mm • ƒ/4.0 • 1/200s • ISO 100

This picture was one of the three tasks we had: Photograph the Bremer Roland (a stone statue in the former city center of Bremen, built in 1404, depicting a paladin of emperor Charlemagne who is regarded as a patron saint of the free cities), which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

As everyone was doing the classic perspective of the Roland, I tried to do something different (the class was called "cool" city photography in the end), so I made a close up of his face from right below his feet. Visible is primarily his golden shield with the two-headed imperial eagle, part of Rolands limestone face that shows above the shield, and the painted baldachin that crowns him. The background shows the blue (and cloudless) sky.

"Shooting Roland", Bremen — 13.05.2025 | 28mm • ƒ/8.0 • 1/400s • ISO 125

After shooting the Roland as a group exercise, our instructor managed to get us into the state parliament of Bremen which is right in front of the Roland. The Idea was to ask if we could shoot from the first floor windows, however we even got a private tour and where allowed into the other rooms aswell.

While everyone else was shooting the Roland from the window of the ceremonial hall, I found it more interesting to shoot a panorama view of the giant glass facade, with focus on the bright outside view and all the class participants as black silhouettes in front of it. It took me a while to get the settings right, and unfortunately the best shot does not have every window occupied with one photographer (as it was the case in some of the pictures where the settings are unfortunately off), but I still like it :)

"Angularly Framed Curves", Bremen — 13.05.2025 | 28mm • ƒ/4.0 • 1/160s • ISO 1000

This is the plenar hall of the "Haus der Bürgerschaft", which the state parliament of Bremen is called. It was build in 1962/66 and designed by architect Wassili Luckhardt, and to this day it kept it's old 60-style interior design! Since 1992 it's under monumental protection.

This picture is taken from the second floor spectator seating area, which is in the shape of a heptagon, while the ground design is a semi-circle (formed by the seating rows of the state representatives (thus my the title). The second floor as well as the main wall are white, the carpet is a deep wine-red and the tables are dark brown. There are two booths to either side with blackend windows and the first floor walls underneath the specator terrace are boarded with dark brown wooden staffs.

This one was actually chosen by someone who liked it so much as to pick it as one of his favorites of the day from all participants ❤️

"Pflichtaufgabe", Bremen — 13.05.2025 | 28mm • ƒ/4.0 • 1/160s • ISO 800

This was a spontaneous compulsory task we got, when we where at the ground floor of the plenar hall: "With a frontal view try to capture the room with a wide angle (ideally 24mm). I was rather frustrated about this exercise (I was frustrated the minute we got into the plenar hall), as we had to check in our bags, and I decided not to carry my wide-angle lens with me in one hand. So I only had my 28-200mm lense and all the time I was regretting that decision, and longing for my 14-24mm lense. I feel the pictures show this. I had to choose one, and I chose this, as it was the most centered, but I am in no way happy with it. In the end, the best picture was taken by someone who also only had 28mm 😅 as in the end this exercise was not about equipment, but finding the right spot for the camera in this room to make the room appear the way you feel, when you're in it.
