Crypto/DeFi Nerd since 2019. Missed out on NFTs until now 😳

Well... finally GM!

I feel privileged to be able to make a living off my Fine Art Photography 📸

This is my path and who has inspired or supported me along the way.

@levelsio But I never called beforehand. Just went there in the morning in both Ajuda and Estoril.

@levelsio Germano de Sousa doesn't require a prescription for blood work. I'm doing it all the time and just print a list of stuff I want checked and say I pay privately. No issue.

@dapppunk Thank you for providing data for my gut feeling.

Personally, I'm not drawn to anything but cheesy, positive, beautiful art. Nice to see that there is a comeback since 2010.

Wow, already 3 months since our stopover in Barcelona en route to the Photopills camp.

I finally sat down to edit this shot from the Gothic Quarter. Had it on my bucket list ever since falling in love with the city in 2014.

@MarcoGrassi_ Gm Marco, wonderful spot!

@FelixInden Fantastic capture of the moment

Good morning ☀️

@projectShift_og For this one, I settled on FineArt Pearl by Hahnemühle.

Often, my favourite is Baryta Prestige II by Canson.

Depends a lot on colours/subject/contrast. Up to A2 I can print in my studio. For anything larger - any print service offering these papers usually does a good job.

„Praia da Ursa“ found its first collector ❤️

160x100cm (74") is on the way to Southern Germany.

With the first print, it’s always important to find the right paper for that particular work.

IMO the most gratifying part of the process.

Ireland 🇮🇪

Green for Celtic, Catholic, and Republican.
Orange for Anglican, Protestant and Unionist.
White for there being peace between both sides.

Thrilled to see my photo featured as central piece in the exhibition organized by Poznań Heritage Centre.

"The power of an encounter. People who made Poznan" explores contacts between locals and newcomers who jointly built the city.

Display is in English, Polish, and Ukrainian

It's happening! 😱

9 years ago i switched from Canon to Nikon. Due to the superior wide angle lens.

Love my D850, but Nikon is abandoning the old legacy.
And in mirrorless, Sony always seems 1-2 steps ahead.

So after long considerations: Hello Sony! 👋

When I returned from shooting the sunrise in Lisbon last Sunday, I excitedly told Daria: I had the Krakow clouds!

What do I mean by that? Well, almost ten years ago in Krakow, I had my - economically - most successful sunrise shooting session. The light was perfect, and I was in the right place at the right time - the scattered clouds made for an ideal backdrop, along with the soft light of dawn.

Photo 3 of this little series is among the Top 5 of my images regarding earnings, and whenever I travel, I dream about getting this kind of condition.

So now, not only did my shoot on Sunday reminds me of the time in Krakow. But it also motivated me to do some new edits. Photos 1 and 2 are freshly edited this week, while 3 & 4 are old from my archive, edited in 2013 and 2014. Always interesting to see a side-by-side of your development when it comes to retouching.

It's been challenging. I'm not used anymore to editing photos taken with the old Canon 500d. Can you believe this camera can now be bought for just 100$?

What do you prefer? The new edit, or the old bestsellers?

[Nico Trinkhaus @NicoTrinkhaus]

@ericpare Thank you Eric, appreciate it! ❤️

I've been waiting 5 years for this shot.

Since I first stayed in an Airbnb in Alfama, I have fallen in love with this view. But ever since, there has been some construction site in the way.

On Friday morning, I went for a sunrise walk to the city and noticed that the construction sites finally cleared. You may have seen my video. But unfortunately, the cloud cover was too thick.

Yesterday evening my phone notified me that the sunrise has a 60% chance of being decent. So I woke up today at 5:30 and tried my luck once again.

Oh boy, what a sunrise, indeed. 😱 I couldn't be happier!

Sometimes it's worth returning to the same spot, don't you think?

[Nico Trinkhaus @NicoTrinkhaus]

@PelinGenc_ Yes, so happy to call it home now ❤️
When have you last visited? It's changing quite a bit over the years

[Nico Trinkhaus @NicoTrinkhaus]
