For this week, we revisit two photographers profiled in my 2015 series—and purely by coincidence. I deliberately don’t look back for good shooters but freshly search for noteworthy images; seems like cheating if I cull from the 365 entries from five years ago. However, before using anything new that tickles my eyes (and hopefully yours), I search my site to make sure there is no accidental duplication; that’s when I occasionally discover some shooter from five years ago.
We start with Raul Lieberwirth, whose “Glowing Mouth” was “Flickr a Day 208”. He returns with self-titled “Money and Run“, which he captured on July 28, 2012, using Canon EOS 5D Mark II and EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens. Vitals: f/18, ISO 100, 25 sec, 24mm.
He explains about the capture: “I tried longer exposures but due to the full steel construction of this bridge, it did swing and vibrate a lot. Even a jogger was enough to ruin the shot. So I git this 25-second shot from the footpath below the trainbridge over the river Neckar in Neckargemünd”. That would be in Germany. The night shot is a keeper for clarity, color, composition, and complexity of the moment-making.
Raul, who is from Heidelberg, joined Flickr in March 2006. Sadly, he hasn’t been active for more than two years.
