Ok its November and I was at Photkina late September , what can I say , I have been super super busy , thats a good thing , so anyway here is my Photokina 2016 recap of my fav stuff at this years show … Photokina is the world’s largest trade show held in Europe for the photographic and imaging industries. Its a who is who of everything image related , with more then 1000 companies introducing and showcasing state of the art imaging products in Cologne , Germany .
The 2016 photokina was the first taking place under the new slogan “Imaging unlimited” , It saw about 191.000 visitors. There has never been so much to see, experience and photograph at a Photokina. You can try the newest technology; learn from the experts how to improve specific aspects of your photography; and see some amazing image galleries, all at the world’s premier photography event. For this occasion the whole city of Cologne turns into a studio/gallery with photo shoots, events and exhibitions everywhere.
When you walked through the trade show fair grounds , wether photographers , retailers or service providers you got the impression Photokina was a must , Whoever was not there wondering the 9 halls , did not only miss a unique opportunity for networking , but missed out on getting first hands on with some pioneering developments .

| I tried FACEBOOK LIVE for the first time at Photokina . |
 |
| Hanging out with fellow Sandisk Extreme Team member Liz Kreutz |
 |
| Photokina was all about drone and 360 cameras , the DJI Mavic and the Go Pro Karma caught my attention , im still undecided witch one I want more . The Nikon Mission there new action 360 camera , captures in all directions simultaneously , then you can explore every point of view during playback on your smartphone or tablet . |
 |
| Getting ready for one of my daily presentations at the Sandisk booth . |
My friends know my passion for the Award winning HBO show Game of Thrown’s , So when I saw this series from the shows set photographer I had to include it in the post , Helen Sloan has one of the coolest Jobs ever . I loved her work on the Nikon booth , I have also included a link to a great article about her
Here .
 |
| I have been looking into allot of camera options for shooting video and I think I just found my perfect set up at the Zeiss booth , its RED Dragon , and look whats next to it , G- Technology |

One other of my favorite announcements was from Fuji , they just created the new mirrorless medium camera system, GFX. The first camera in the series, the GFX 50S, will launch in early 2017 and feature a 51.4-megapixel sensor measuring 43.8 x 32.9 mm. Did I also mentions their full line up of six new lenses ???? .

Another cool camera company was
DXO ONE , I have there tiny little amazing camera , i take it everywhere I go , and well know I can also take it under water , DXO just launched a series of new acceesories like the Outdoor Shell , waterproof to a depth of 45 meters .

| DXO ONE booth was super impressive and big for such a little camera . |
 |
| Sandisk booth where my self and three other Sandisk Extreme Team members had daily presentations |
 |
| awesome group shot of the entire Koylab family at Photokina . |
 |
| KOYLAB is always one of my favorite companies and visiting Photokina and not visiting there booth is just not going to happen ever , I worked very hard this year to make a new advertising portfolio and it was amazing to show it off at there booth .
|
 |
| Koylab just launched a very cool product #Quintessence designed by fellow ambassador Pierre Delaunay. Quintessence is Aa very nice way to present your images if your a portrait or fine art photographer . The Box is made of high quality PVC and comes with 10 images and can go up to 30 Prints 15 x15 cm |
 |
| Its always amazing to see fellow Koylab ambassadors DDIARTE work , I am huge fan but the size and quality of this print was insane , well done Chromoluxe . |
 |
| So if you got thirsty or wanted to win some amazing G Technology gear you could visit the Red Bull Photography booth. |
 |
| Look at all the Gtech goodness . |
It was amazing to see where technology is taking us creatively . When we talk about cameras in the future , we could be talking about 360- degrees action camera ,a multicopters , a pocket size 4k drone , a robot eye or even just a image sensor on a lens , Some of the biggest surprises at this years Photokina were allot of new concept cameras, Hasselblad revisits its V-system square-format roots with the V1D 4116 Concept, a prototype design for a modular 75-megapixel camera (presumably 6×6 ).
This amazing Hasselblad below , made it back from the moon , and FYI there are still 12 Hasselblad still on the moon . read about that
