Top & Flop Blogger Moment
FLOP: You might know that my Twitter account was closed earlier this year and I lost contact with my 19,000 people strong Twitter community. It was really hard to see a community, that came together over 9 years of blogging, disappear overnight.
TOP: Well, turns out, that my biggest down lead to my biggest high, since, when all my hope had faded and some twitter bot confirmed my lifelong ban, luckily a fellow FR-reader jumped in and helped me to restore my Twitter account, giving me the biggest blogging-joy of the year. It’s just amazing, how much support I get from this community in moments of needs! You are awesome!
Most Used Gear
As a teacher, I have 2 full months of holiday in Summer. Usually I travel a lot during that period.
However, this year I had to financially recover from the expenses related to my wedding in May.
So, except for a 10 days trip in Croatia together with that annoying SonyAlphaRumors guy ;), I did not travel anywhere.
I stayed here, surrounded by my stunning mountains and my fun local traditions.
I hiked around, climbed some mountains, and as a natural consequence focused mostly on landscape photography.
At the end, the Fujinon XF10-24 and XF18-135 turned out to be my most used lenses of the year, with the 27/2.8 and 35/1.4 being the top primes. Of course mounted on my X-E3, although I did use also the X-T1.

Happy New Year 2020
So, 2020 is finally here…
Now you guys promise me to keep up having fun with your photography, and I promise you to put my best into FR also in 2020.
A wonderful, healthy and happy 2020 to everybody out there reading these lines.
