how to find the right camera

How to find the right camera

Kai Hornung April 1, 2018

Starting with photography leaves you with a big question right at the beginning: what camera to get? You want something good and something inside your budget. And you want something that fits your needs. Problem is, you usually don't even know what your need is when starting out.

So "what camera should I get?" is something I get asked often. A good reason for me to write about it and share my experience, my fails and my good decisions.

Blessing or curse article

Instagram: blessing or curse for the serious photographer?

Kai Hornung January 23, 2018

I wrote an article for my buddy's blog at Photography by Ko about the sense or nonsense of having your photography on social media and Instagram in special. 

Just minutes after this article went online I received messages from people telling me that I hit a nerve there and expressed what many think these days. ...but read for yourself.

Kai Hornung January 14, 2018

So what are my plans for this year? Let me see. Since I am not the kind of guy that goes on any new year resolutions, I don’t have a masterplan on 2018. That being said, well yes, there are some concrete plans for this year indeed and some things that I would like to see happening.

      this is it, finally: my homepage

      this is it, finally: my homepage

start

Kai Hornung January 5, 2018

I have planned this page for quite some time. And the seed of having my own homepage was planted in summer or maybe even a bit before. I thought "well, if this photo thing keeps going like it does you will need a homepage eventually. But first of all, you need decent shots to show.". And so I waited. And took images. And processed. And learned. And erased. And started over again. 

..That being said, welcome to this place! I hope you will make yourself feel home here and enjoy my homepage. Come on in and have a look around. I hope you like what you see.
