Dear Friends & Visitors

First of all please let me thank you all for your ongoing wonderful feedback and acknowledgement you give to me!

From time to time people ask me what photography means to me. Well, as long as I can remember photography was a part of my life. It saved many wonderful memories but since I became a Flickr member in 2006 I think things slightly changed. I started to learn about image formation, lighting, exposure time, aperture, etc. and also about different styles in photography. But the the greatest influence comes from the wonderful partnership and photographic cooperation I have together with my wife.

Just looking on your photos, discussing the feedback, etc. also helped me a lot to understand photography in a different way.

What style of photo am I into? I like to see the expression of a certain subject in contrast to a certain space. For me a photo (whatever the content is) should be like a well performed piece of music. Authentic & balanced in colors / contrast / aspect / etc. If someone's leaving the balance there should be a visible reason for it.

Cheers :-)
Helmuth

"Well....
Helmet13 is a new contact for me but as soon as i came across his stream i was immediately inspired. His compositions are always so simple and are persistently of a professional standard, His cropping and post-processing work is among the best on flickr. He is also a very kind contact always leaving pleasant messages on my photos.
Keep it up!!!

"Helmuth is the "Master of Reduction". No question!
Though my way of photographie is completely adversed, I love his calm and still moments of consciousness. A very special way to deceleration and peace. He allways shows us, what life is about...

I really love his work!

""helmet13" is an extraordinary artist.

He is a very creative photographer that can get inspirations from anyway and anytime. Putting a creative idea and present it into an artistic way, this is the MAGIC of "helmet13" .

Each photo is an individual story, his idea is always extraordinary, this is too important for me to feel the passion on life and be sensitive to the surroundings, I get so much inspirations from the angles and perspectives from "helmet13".

Helmet, thanks so much for your supports to me, and I am very happy to know you on FLICKR.@"

"I feel really lucky to have discovered Helmuth and his photostream on Flickr. Writing a Testimonial for him is something I've wanted to do for a long time ... but I knew that to be worthy of this stream, (to be worthy of this person) the Testimonial has to be considered in every detail, just like his photographs.

I think Helmuth has been around in my universe for around 6 months now and I've seen that every photo ... no, every image, every 'tableau' is thought about, composed, framed and positioned with the care and attention of an artist.... the lighting has to be right, the angle exact, the composition (the story?) really determined and the depth of field carefully considered before making that definitive final movement of releasing the button.

Why do I feel lucky? As well as learning from his stream, I can say that Helmuth is a deeply thoughtful and loyal contact whose comments I always look forward to reading. Danke Dir Helmuth!"

"Helmuth will continue to impress you with his photostream. With his access to beautiful scenery and his talent for capturing nature, enjoying his photography is a pleasure in itself.

I had the opportunity to interview Helmuth for his picture "I think in a little while from now..." for my Top Green Blog.

Read what Helmuth had to say about his photo:

Helmuth, thank you again for allowing me to use your image in the Top Green Blog's Gallery.

"He is truly an artist. By visiting his gallery you'll realize that he enjoys every picture he takes, and a part of that joy will be automatically transferred to you with all and each picture you'll see. A really good photographer, with an eye capable to see what many people ignores. Be warned: with Helmuth you'll discover nothing but not conventional pictures!

Es un verdadero artista. Visitando su galería te darás cuenta de que disfruta con cada foto que toma, y una parte de esa diversión te será automáticamente transmitida con cada foto que veas. Un fotógrafo realmente bueno, con un ojo capaz de ver lo que mucha gente ignora. Aviso: ¡con Helmuth no descubrirás otra cosa más que fotos nada convencionales!"
