This month’s photo contest is all about the colour blue - whether it’s an underwater image from your last holiday or a portrait of your favorite pair of jeans. While it can sometimes be associated with sadness, the colour blue also represents calm and serenity. As jurors, we will present the winner of all submissions at the end of june. Good luck and have fun participating!

Together with Thomas Adorff and Andreas Eichelmann, over 200 fine art prints were exhibited at a large vernissage in Karlsruhe at the engineering group IG Bauen. We presented over 70 of our images and took the visitors on a photographic trip to the most beautiful diving areas on our blue planet.

Let´s talk about photography. This time especially about underwater photography. We are happy to carry off photographers as well as photo- and travel enthusiasts, taking them to a journey into the depths of our blue planet. Lichtwert e.V. Karlsruhe invited us presenting the beauty of the oceans from sight of an underwater photographer and a dive model.

Ronda, deep in the south of Spain, was meeting-point for the OLYMPUS visionaries from whole Europe. In occasion of launching the new OLYMPUS OM-D E-M1 Mark II camera OLYMPUS invited to a very extraordinary event. Underneath the sun of Andalusia we had the chance to test the new flag-ship with innovations like pro-capture, matchless 5 axis image stabilization or the 50 MP High Res Shot.

Newly terrain. This time we left the water and tried ourselves as model photographers ashore. The OLYMPUS Playground Munich delivered unbelievable locations with three different impressing workshops and great people. The OLYMPUS Visionary family from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands came together for this special event.

With MyOlympus a new stage for photographers is born. The right place to showcase images shot with OLYMPUS cameras. Photographers from all over the world can connect,  swap ideas and look at stunning pictures. MyOlympus is our place as OLYMPUS Visionaries to share our photographs with others.
