Meet the official photographer and the official goat of 1. FC Köln! One of them...

Meet the official photographer and the official goat of 1. FC Köln!
One of them is Thomas Fähnrich Fotografie and the other one Hennes VIII.

Do you recognize Thomas' struggles in the studio?
"I have now done 3 studio shoots with Hennes – the official goat of 1. FC Köln. Every shoot with him is a new challenge because you cannot plan anything in advance. I can think about a light setting, I can think about possible images, but if any of it will happen is entirely up to Hennes. Until now, what always happened was that as soon as we got started, Hennes would do anything but the things the client or I wanted him to do. For the most part, he runs around on a leash for 15-20 minutes in front of my camera or stand with his back to me. But then he would turn around, stand still for two minutes, often just the amount of time I needed – and I was able to get my pictures. Then another 20 minutes would pass with nothing and then again two minutes with photography. So far every shoot with him went like this"

And here they are the "registered" Panasonic G7 and GX8 cameras!

Since weeks we know the Panasonic G7 will come around May 20 and the GX8 somewhat later (August-September). And now we got proof the rumors are correct. Wifi Alliance registered the two camera names along a new FZ300 fixed lens super zoom cam.

The G7 should have the GX7 sensor and 4K recording. The GX8 a completely new kind of sensor (sounds good!).
