More and more people are taking photos with their smartphones, but the good hobby photographers who go looking for motifs with a single-lens reflex or mirrorless system camera are not dying out.
Fürstenfeldbruck – Eckhart Lutzeier's group of companies has been holding a photo competition with a regional focus for twelve years.
"FFB historical" was this year's theme.
We were looking for photos of monuments or natural monuments.
Klaus Schrader submitted the best.
32 amateur photographers sent in a total of 146 photos.
A maximum of five photos per person were allowed.
From all of them, the jury, made up of former mayor Sepp Kellerer, Mara Fuhrmann from the "Fürstenfelder Naturfototage" and Norbert Leinweber from the event forum, selected the ten winners using an anonymous procedure.
"We pretty much agreed on the winner," reported Kellerer.
Otherwise, opinions differed a bit.
"I am particularly pleased about this competition that so many participants went in search of Bruck's beautiful corners and presented these unique photos." Mara Fuhrmann, who carried out the award ceremony in house 10 of the event forum in the presence of jury member Kellerer and sponsor Lutzeier, was pleased that all but one of the award winners had appeared.
The first three received a certificate and staggered 500, 300 and 200 euros;
the fourth to tenth a certificate and a book "Glanzlichter".
(By the way: everything from the region is now also available in our regular FFB newsletter.)
The 73-year-old Brucker Klaus Schräder took part for the fifth time.
He has never won an award.
"I'm not that vain," he admits.
"But I was surprised that I won the competition with the photo "Old Town Hall at night". As a former engineer and hobby photographer for 60 years, he gave his photo with the generator in the Obermühle more chances, says Schräder.
The 65-year-old hobby photographer Elisabeth Krimmer from Geltendorf has been addicted to photography since she was 15 years old.
It was the first time she dared to take part in a competition.
She sent in four pictures.
With the night photo "City Library in the former monastery mill" she immediately took second place.
"The difficult part was catching the moment when the door opens," she says.
"It only opens for a brief moment when someone goes in or out."
Bernd Kaiser took third place with the black-and-white photo “Klosterblick”.
For the 55-year-old, who has only been doing photography as a hobby since 2018, it is the first major prize.
"I took the photo in black and white because it was a cloudy day, so color didn't work," explains Kaiser.
And it would also fit better with the chronological bridge between Ferdinand von Miller - the head of the Bavaria created by him in front of the museum entrance is also in the photo - and the founding of the monastery.
