Hello Argentina, Good Morning Buenos Aires

That's probably the first view a visitor sees after leaving the international Airport of Buenos Aires. Depending on what part of the year you are visiting it's hot and sunny with an always present breeze. It's pretty easy to get sunburned because this breeze doesn't make you feel the power of the always present and strong sun.
There's lots of noise and voices of a whole bunch of men and women from all over the world searching for their friends, family or clients with tons of luggage, there are the busdrivers and taxidrivers waiting for new clients because there is still no train connection to the airport and carrying visitors to the city centre is a really good business. It's about a 30-50 Minutes drive by car but make sure that you try to get catched up by your hotel or by calling a "Remis" (sort of your own driver) to the city centre inside the airport with fixed prices, otherwise your first invesment into the local workforce might come out pretty expensive.

Getting started

I've been working hard over the last few weeks to find a pleasing way for connecting my tumblr with this blog for being able to let tumblr be a photo-only publishing website with links to this blog for those who want to read a few insights, too. Here are the stories, my thoughts and many more to come. Some insights for equipment, stories, photo-editing and I'm planing to present a few of my most inspirational photographers at the moment as well as some very interesting blogs and websites I have inside my bookmarks.

To start with here is the first shot of a large series of travel-photography I did this year. It's probably the first real travel shot of any photostory as you are finally sitting inside the plane, waiting for take-off and thinking about the wonderful things you are going to discover within the time of your journey or travel adventure.

I will be mixing this up with some photos I took recently while carrying my camera with me. If you have any questions regarding editing, gear or getting featured, feel free to contact me by writing either a comment or sending me a short message via twitter. Make sure you're using one of the few following options below or via tumblr and twitter to get the latest updates as soon as they arrive here.

I'm featured at Rebecca Lily Presets

I'm featured at Rebecca Lily Presets! Rebecca and her husband Johnny Patience are both very inspiring photographers. Their blogsposts feature some wonderful pictures from beautiful Ireland and very interesting thoughts on how to imitate the film-look for digital photography.

I was using her presets out of the Rebecca Lily Pro Set for Lightroom to work on a couple of photos from my last trip and I liked them very much. They offer some different looks compared to the VSCO Film Presets which I like, too. I see them as a great addition to those classical film looks.

Check out the feature: http://www.rebeccalily.com/project/martin-lux/  and their blogs, too!

Paso del Cristo Redentor

That's the first photo out of my little travel magazine that I released one week ago on Blurb. This place is called Paso del Cristo Redentor, because there is a big christ statue at its top at about 4000 meters altitude. From there you can enjoy an incredible panoramic view over the Andes of Chile and Argentina.
