Cycle Marathon – The Story Behind The Photo

As announced earlier we want to talk sometimes about the making of of some photos to show how we work. Let’s start with the Cycle Marathon Tannheimer Tal 2017. Our aim was clear: Document the Cycle Marathon 2017. It was important to catch the mood and the preparations. But also to show where the marathon takes place. You should see that it is the marathon at the Tannheimer Tal. We arrived on Sunday and moved into our flat at the start-finish area. On Monday morning we had our first meeting: https://twitter.com/DieMeurers/status/881870985561071617 On that day it was important to learn about what will happen when and where and what we should cover. One thing was the above mentioned showing where the marathon takes place. For the athletic photos other photographers have been hired. They have been waiting at spectacular places for active scenes. So it was quite clear for us: We

New Series: The Story Behind The Photo…

There will be a new series here in our blog: The story behind the photo… Every now and then we encounter astonished customers when we explain how we work. Though we have a checklist for potential customers there still remains questions. In the mean time it is legendary that we insist on ironing the bed sheets and curtains for a hotel room photo shooting. https://twitter.com/MoFritsch/status/883300932305506304 But this preparation is by no means the whole work. For many photos it will need much more preparation work. And of course editing. But might be a different blog post series. https://twitter.com/DieMeurers/status/874298706799063041 For now we stay with the preparations. Why do we put so much effort into it? Well it is quite simple: The quality is right. We are booked because of our quality of work. Everybody, that calls for us, wants such beautiful photos. We are astonished all the more so since that some

Cycle Marathon Tannheimer Tal 2017

The Cycle Marathon Tannheimer Tal 2017 lies behind us and though we have not been active participants the whole week was fun. I say the whole week because we have been their earlier for the preparations and for the racing bike week. The Cycle Marathon on Sundays is the highlight of the events. The Racing Bike Week It all starts on Monday afternoon with the first rides out. Those are meant for getting to know the different s and check out your performance „Will I manage?“. To benefit all there are up to five different rides out with different levels of difficulty. Those range from easy trips affectionately called „Cappuccino Round“ up to challenging pass tours. The Cappuccino round ist according to Marcel Wüst „for all those that regard a bicycle as a means of transport instead of a sports equipment“. Those trips are lead by well known and famous

Week 108: 60 Years Weinbergschlösschen

We accompany the hotel Weinbergschlösschen now already for several years. So we were very happy to hear that we could also document a big anniversary: 60 years Hotel Weinbergschlösschen. As we arrived one day earlier we were able to see a lot of the preparations for the festivity. When seeing it all from an outsider’s view you do wonder how in the end all the strings come together and there is a great event.   How nice, when you can delight someone with your work. And the anniversary celebration did exactly that. It was kind of an enlargement of the kitchen party that we also have experienced once – only this time it was much bigger. More stations, fireworks, a raffle and a five tier cake. What else do you need? But the Lambrich brothers will surely make up something new next time. We hopefully will be part of it

60 Years Hotel Weinbergschlösschen

Nowadays it is hard to survive for family run hotels. Therefore it is very nice for a change to be able to watch a small hotel to not only survive a couple of generations but to also grow and develop. Unfortunately it is more common to loose the connection to modern times. The hotel Weinbergschlösschen is a praiseworthy exception. The younger generation took over a couple of years ago and changed some things immediately. Amongst them also the name. ‚Bergschlösschen‘ became ‚Weinbergschlösschen‘. That was the beginning of a number of smaller and bigger changes: First the rooms were renovated in a very skillful way. Skillful means that the rooms are presented individually and fondly designed. If nothing else because of the self sketched and designed furnitures that even include clever details for the guests. Here you will find a plug at each bedside. Unfortunately this is still not common today

Week 107: Hotel Pfeffermühle in Siegen

We already stayed at the Hotel Pfeffermühle last year during our tour through Northrhine-Westfalia. As the hotel has changed some things and is working on a new website it was time for new and professional photos. Some room categories had to be photographed but also the meeting rooms and the rooms for festivities. Though our pdf-document about preparing for the photo-shoot mostly is not read or if it is read the things that are listed there are disregarded everything worked out fine this time. Thanks to perfect preparations photo shoots could begin right away and decisions could be taken and arrangements made. So there still was some time for some culinary photos. The ice cream here is home made as well as the pasta and even the salmon is smoked here. For myself there was not much to do here as a twitter live report about a hotel photo shoot

Week 105 and 106: Compulsory Break and Clear Out

After our stay in Sankt Peter Ording we had a break because a lovely project did not unfortunately not happen. So so sad. But the break startet with great concert from Deep Purple in Hamburg. After that it got tough. We used the surprisingly free time to clear out the house of Achim’s parents. That was in many ways not easy. First it reminded us of our own clearing out before we startet our journey and when we gave everything away. Ist was so much that has gathered in the time of some decades. https://twitter.com/DieMeurers/status/870609375450324992 With this house there have been much more memories than with our rented house. And it was difficult to get rid of the different stuff. Give away, sell, bring it to the local collection station, order bulky waste, care about noxious substances, drive to the bottle bank and paper bank… Quite exhausting. https://twitter.com/DieMeurers/status/870369842666274816 It is

Sankt Peter Ording: Beach as far as you can look

Sankt Peter Ording does not really sound like a sexy holiday resort. But during the last years it has changed a lot. You do typically stay in SPO – as it is called – in holiday flats or houses. If possible in a thatched old house. But there are many varieties and hotel rooms and even camping grounds. The village is not big and you get along very easy within those three local centers ‚Bad‘, ‚Dorf‘ and ‚Böhl‘. There are shoppings streets to stroll around and take a walk but shortly behind those streets it gets really quiet. The way to the beach is short but the way on the beach is even longer instead. You can look very far and walk and you have to do some couple of thousands of steps before you get to the waterfront or ‚Waterkant‘ as it is called in the regional dialect. Your

Week 104 and 105: Sankt Peter Ording

After the Heidebloggerevent  we were off to Sankt Peter Ording. It seems that everybody had heard about it before. And everybody said: „Oh! How nice!“ We have been in Bispingen already quite far up north and we had two days for the journey. We started late in the afternoon from Bispingen and wanted to look for a nice place to stay over night. But suddenly we were in Sankt Peter Ording already. It seemed as some people had have the idea of standing alone before as well. There were prohibition signs everywhere… https://twitter.com/DieMeurers/status/866690049949282304 So first we headed towards a restaurant. The ‚Seekiste‘. We thought that around this time of the year nobody would be on a holiday and drove to the beach. At the district Böhl you can actually drive onto the beach. This is so bizarre. And one thinks it is odd. The last time I have been with

At the Luneburg Heath at Bispingen

The ‚Lüneburger Heide‘ – or Luneburg Heath. A well known landscape – like the Black Forests – and maybe it has the same problem. You would think that only senior bus groups are traveling there and that there is nothing but the moorland. Far wrong! Again. We have been very curious about this heath landscape and were really happy to see a sign „Welcome to the Luneburg Heathland“. But… We could not see any moorland but only fields and farm land. Then suddenly we spotted a glimpse of this typical scenery. Covered with heath and in-between now and then a tree. But then it was gone again as we drove by. First we went to our hotel. „Die schmucke Witwe“ – ‚The spruce widow‘. Only later on we learned about the history of this term during a guided tour. What a pity that the hotel itself does not provide the
