We are glad that you found us here …
The photographer Berenice Abbot once said that living photography is positive in its approach, it sings a song of life.
That’s exactly what we think at Blende8 Itzehoe. We are enthusiastic photographers with ambitions, who are in a good mood when taking photos, always discovering the beautiful aspects of life anew.
So, feel free to have a look around our site – and if you like our pictures, please leave us a message.
Thank you for your visit and the interest you have shown!
Our Vision
We have expectations – of ourselves. The aspiration to become better, to develop further. To learn. From each other and with each other.
We are ambitious and want to maximize our potential. We know that we have not yet taken our best photo.
The graphic performance of a lens is typically at its best at f/8. This fits well with our philosophy of always wanting to improve. Hence the name.
For us – digital – photography does not end with the shot. We ‘develop’ our images – to fully utilize the potential of RAW photography. And to show that photography is an art by itself.
We have values
Joining us doesn’t mean you have to know everything about photography already. We like to share our knowledge and have fun infecting others with our passion. If you can imagine actively participating, then you’ve come to the right place. If you are interested, then we could add your name to our waiting list as we currently don’t have any seats open for membership.
What no human eye is able to capture, no pencil, brush or pen can fix, your camera catches it without knowing what it is and fixes it with the conscientious indifference of a machine.

Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop.

A good photo is one that you look at for more than a second.
