Photography communities, photographers' websites, and portfolio sites now exist in overwhelming numbers. In an age where a reasonably decent camera is always at hand in the form of a smartphone in every pocket, photography no longer poses a challenge.
Furthermore, the professional sector is also experiencing ever-accelerating progress, resulting in increasingly better cameras at ever lower prices. However, while technology continues to advance and photographers become more technically skilled, shortcomings are increasingly becoming apparent in other areas.
Some photographers excel in only one area, while those who possess both the equipment and skills to photograph in various fields often lack the knowledge to convey meaning to the viewer about their diverse subjects. As a result, the internet is gradually flooded with beautiful but meaningless images.
Michael Mühlstein's website is one of the particularly noteworthy exceptions. Digital photography has found a home on Mühlstein's homepage , and visitors will find not only high-quality images from many areas of photography in one place, but also interesting information about the subjects depicted.
Visitors will find images from the fields of urban photography, animal portraits and other pictures from nature, and ultimately all conceivable formats, from macro photographs to panoramas of entire landscapes.
Examples include the Hohenlohe Open-Air Museum, Mainz on the Rhine, photos of blue tits and great tits , or even real bees.

The photos are complemented by informative texts and interesting facts. For example, most people think of honeybees and bee deaths when they think of real bees.
In fact, the honeybee is only one of over 550 bee species in Germany, and while the number of honeybees is decreasing in the USA and Germany, the number is increasing sharply worldwide, while the ecologically much more important wild bees are more endangered and are being further displaced by the domesticated honeybee.
With this and similar valuable information, Michael Mühlstein's website stands out from the vast sea of purely photography-focused websites . Anyone interested in photography and wanting to learn something new will find it here.
