  • Prayers at #Sensoji in Tokyo. This temple is on everyone‘s bucket list when visiting #Tokyo. Although it can get quite crowded and busy, it still has a special atmosphere. But when you stroll around the neighborhood from here you’ll find many small temples that are completely empty and surrounded by local cemeteries or serene gardens. They might not be as famous and iconic, but feel more peaceful and quiet. Surprisingly we found many areas of Tokyo to be quite walkable! You can read all about our 10 day Japan itinerary on www.thetravelblog.at.
  • After many years of dreaming about a Japan trip, we finally made it this year! When ANA invited us to test their new direct flight connection between Vienna and Tokyo we were more than excited. Finally we would be able to visit all the places from our bucket list – from temples to shrines, from torii gates to vegetarian Ramen restaurants. We spent 10 days discovering the beauty of Japan - from #Kyoto to #Tokyo and the intriguing Seto Art Islands.

  • Are you dreaming of #Japan? • I just released a huge blogpost with a full 10 day Japan itinerary for first time visitors. Including some of the best views you’ll get in #Tokyo, tips for the ancient city of #Kyoto and a venture off the beaten track to the Seto art islands with all their incredible museums and installations! • Before traveling to Japan I wasn’t sure how well I would handle a country with so many people, so densely populated - but got surprised by how peaceful and calm it feels. Even in cities like Tokyo with over 37 million people living in the greater metropolitan area. You could stand on a rooftop and listen to the wind - not one siren or honking interrupting the quiet. • Advertisement: Trip powered by @allnipponairways_official. #wearejapan #flyANA #ANA #AllNipponAirways • Anzeige
  • The cutest tiny animals must be Meerkats, right? 😍 • In the Makgadikgadi National Park there are a couple of wild meerkat colonies. This particular colony has been accustomed to humans by a local who visits them on a daily basis. Therefore they are used to visitors, although it’s still a wild colony! You can even get out of the car without scaring them away. We spent hours there watching them dig for food - while constantly being on the lookout for predators. • This is was such a fun and unique wildlife encounter! You can read more about this experience on www.thetravelblog.at! • Advertisement • Trip powered by @evaneos_travel. • Shot on Nikon Z 6. @nikonaustria
  • A night under the Milky Way in #Botswana - powered by @evaneos_travel. (Advertisement | Invitation) • Sleeping under this incredible open sky was one of my most memorable experiences in Botswana. And just in case you’re wondering - that little tent was the bush toilet 🤷🏻‍♀️☺️. • I wrote a blogpost with everything you might want to know about this experience, answering all those questions from “What about wild animals?” or “How cold does it get at night?”. • If you are into experiences like this I recommend Evaneos, which is a platform that connects individual travellers to local travel experts. They have over 1.300 local experts in more than 160 destinations. So recently they added Botswana to their portfolio and we got to test their service there. We wouldn’t have found out about this experience without them and they organized it all perfectly! #Evaneos • Anzeige/Werbung
  • 1 or 2? 🦒Can’t decide which photo of that baby giraffe I find cuter 😍 Shot with the new Nikon Z 6 powered by @nikonaustria (Advertisement).
•
For this trip to Zambia and Botswana I focused on shooting with the AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm 1:5.6E ED VR lens. This lens is one of the best tele lenses I ever laid eyes on and I was really interested to see how it would work together with the FTZ adapter on my mirrorless camera.
•
This lens was originally built for Nikon DSLR cameras, but with the adapter you can also use it on the mirrorless models of Nikon. Having had some disappointing experiences with using adapters on other cameras before I was sceptical about the outcome - but Nikon did an amazing job with their native lenses and the adapter. There is absolutely no tangible difference, neither in handling or image quality. Especially the autofocus is often a problem when using adapters, but as you can see it even worked perfectly under challenging situations (that baby giraffe started running away just a mere second after being surprised by our vehicle). •
