Six of my photos were exhibited by Fujifilm at the Photokina Fair
in Cologne, Germany, from the 18th till the 23rd of September 2012.

I've just been informed that each of my 3 submissions to the "Epson International Photographic Pano Awards" (thepanoawards.com) have been awarded a "Bronze" award. It's the first time I participated in a photographic competition. I'm happy with the results. I'll try to do better next time. These are the panoramic images I submitted: Pencil Vs Camera - 59; Paris from the Eiffel Tower; Cologne 360 degrees Panorama.

I took this picture in Cologne, Germany. I've used the "tilt shift process" (selective focus) to simulate a miniature scene... :) As always, thanks for watching!! (The above photo has been shot with the Samsung NX10)

3 days of intense work to make this huge panorama of Cologne, Germany's fourth-largest city. This is a 360 degrees view, I tried to get as many details as possible, sometimes repainting different parts of the cityscape. The original composition is really big (almost 20.000 pixels wide!) because I assembled more than 30 photos. I took all of them when I was in Germany 2 weeks ago... (FYI, I didn't use any autopano or fisheye).

Love padlocks are a custom by which sweethearts affix padlocks to a fence or similar public fixture to symbolise their love. Since 2008, love locks have started appearing on the Hohenzollern Bridge in Cologne, Germany. The bridge is 409.19 meters long and is full of these locks between the sidewalk and the tracks. Usually, the loving couple throws the key in the river below... Deutsche Bahn, the bridge's operator, threatened to have the locks removed, but relented in the face of public opposition.

I visited Cologne a few days ago. It's such a great and dynamic place. The bridge is a huge construction but these locks give it such a romantic dimension... I'll soon post a big panoramic view showing all the city from a high skyscraper.
