I’ve used the lockdown phases during Covid 19 to realize a project which I had in my mind for quite some time.
I like traveling, I like road trips, and I had the wish to do this in a more sustainable way. I’m also interested in new technologies.

Review of the Samyang XP 10mm F3.5
A couple of months ago Samyang announced a new XP 10mm f/3.5 ultra-wide-angle lens. It seems like I’m one of the first people in the world who got a production sample of this lens.
Carretera Austral
In 2012 I had a great road trip together with my friend Philippe along the Carretera Austral in southern Chile. Last year I returned to Patagonia. This time my friend Mark joined me. Our main focus was the southern part of the Carretera including several side trips that I hadn’t done on my 2012 trip.
