Hi Bluesky! My name is Jochen, and I'm located in Germany. I'm a father and a husband, that is working in IT. In my spare time, I haul around mostly #Olympus / #OMSYSTEM MFT cameras with some #Nikon in the mix, photographing pretty much anything that catches my eye. But mostly nature related things.

A picture of me wearing a black hat and a white t-shirt with thin black stripes. No eye contact, since I'm adjusting the hat on my head. I'm in my mid-forties, with should long dark blond hair.

An adult and two kids walking on a path in the forest. It's misty, but the sun is breaking through on the right, painting beautiful sun rays with the trees.

Haven't posted a squirrel in a while. Let's change that! 😉

A red squirrel perched among green leaves and twisted branches, its bright eyes alert and curious as it looks toward the camera.

London is a city full of contrasts in every possible form and shape.

Black and white photo of a person standing on a balcony, framed by the ornate stone architecture of an old building. Sharp sunlight and deep shadows create a dramatic contrast across the facade.

Another image from this summer Greenland adventures, this time during a moody day with a bit of fog, and the signature red sails.

City life is all about contrasts. Massive steel and glass rising above, while people move through it in their daily rhythm. Not made of steel and glass, and tiny in comparison. The architecture sets the stage, but it’s the flow of passersby that keeps the city alive.

Black and white photograph of a man in a suit walking along a glass walkway in front of a monumental steel sculpture and modern building facade, creating a striking contrast between human scale and architectural mass.

Black and white photograph of passengers inside a London Underground train, seen through the reflective window, blending sharp details with ghostly overlays of reflections.

I asked #ChatGPT to count the windows on that image. First it said 12. I asked if it is certain about that. It corrected itself to 15 and offered me to show where the windows are. Here we go. 😉

Black and white photo of a modern building facade with 16 round windows arranged in a grid pattern across a corrugated metal wall, reflecting the sky and surrounding structures.

The mornings are getting a bit chilly again!

A close-up black and white photo of a rusty metal grid with a delicate spider web intricately woven across its bars, softly lit by natural light in the background.

Lunar eclipse, aka blood moon – as seen from Germany last night.

A detailed photograph of a blood moon during a lunar eclipse, glowing in deep red and orange hues against a dark night sky.

I know, it's not yet #silentsunday. But I won't be sitting in front of the computer tomorrow.

I thought the large hadron collider would look differently! 😉

Jochen @brejoc.bsky.social · Sep 5

Thanks! 🙏

This solidifies my assumption that the RAW engine is the problem. If Photomator and Pixelmator Pro would like to compete with Lightroom, Photolab, aso, they need to either improve Apple's RAW engine or implement their own.

Jochen @brejoc.bsky.social · Sep 5

I've been playing around a bit more. It doesn't matter if you export the image as jpeg, heic or tiff. The quality is compromised for all of them. It also doesn't make a difference if you export the image with Photomator or Pixelmator Pro.

Jochen @brejoc.bsky.social · Sep 5

Yes, that's a crop. The full photo is okay. But I noticed a few days back, seeing images on a bigger projection, that something was a bit off. The images appeared a bit blurry. So I started testing. And now I can unsee it again.

Right, I'm talking about DxO Photolab. Leaves a good impression!

Jochen @brejoc.bsky.social · Sep 5

The best thing you can do for your mental health: Go outside! Every step helps, and every breath of fresh air makes a difference. No matter if you go alone or with someone else. Just go outside.

Jochen @brejoc.bsky.social · Sep 4

What I see here is a huge discrepancy on Photomator's side. I really love the usability of Photomator, but this together with the still missing OM System RAW support for OM-3 and OM-5II mixed with the total silence since Apple bought them is a brutal deal breaker for me. 😢

Jochen @brejoc.bsky.social · Sep 4

#Photolab 9 vs #Photomator. I hope you can still see the difference once Bsky is done with the image.

A red squirrel climbing through a hazel bush with curled green leaves, its curious face peeking out while its body stretches along the branches, set against a softly blurred background.

Some office days are better than others!

Yesterday, when roaming the forests, I was so lucky to see a doe with her fawn. The fawn discovered me first, but wasn't that shy (yet). I assume that's going to change very soon. And that's probably for the better.

A doe and her fawn stand alert in a forest clearing, partially hidden among fallen logs and branches, with lush green leaves in the background and dry foliage in the foreground.
