Long Exposure: Passing Ship In Travemünde


As I mentioned in my earlier post, I was at the Travemünde Beach today and experimented a little bit with long shutter durations. The blue image in the gallery above is another photo I shot, the pink one is edited with Lightroom as I thought changing it to pink would work too. You can click on the images to enlarge them. To explain the scene, as mentioned in the title, there was a big ship passing and I captured the lights of it with the long shutter speed. The image is shot with 15 seconds shutter speed with an aperture … Continue reading Long Exposure: Passing Ship In Travemünde

My First Long Exposure Photo Outside In The Evening


My mother and her husband asked me today if I would like to accompany them when they drive to the beach in Travemünde in the evening. That was a nice idea, I planned to use my tripod and to take some evening or night photos at some point anyway, and the beach is a perfect subject. I have read a lot about long exposure, for example when I tested long exposure at home, I also learned how to set up all things manually with my D7100. That means, I know already a little bit about the theory, it was time … Continue reading My First Long Exposure Photo Outside In The Evening

Beautiful Outdoor Cat


I promised that I would start to take pictures of other cats and not only pictures of my own cat. Today I was walking outside to take some new pictures, and then a very beautiful cat crossed my path, you see the cat in the two picture gallery above. If I would know the owner and he or she would say “I don’t want this cat anymore”, I’d take this cat right away to give it a new home, and Shyna a new friend. Yes, all cats are beautiful, but each cat does also have different features that make them … Continue reading Beautiful Outdoor Cat

New Sun Lounger In The Garden


We have this new sun lounger in the garden. I like this, it’s pretty comfortable, at least if there wouldn’t be so much fire ants on the lawn. The fire ants are a little bit annoying, I had several of them on my legs and that was a little bit painful. Anyway, it’s good that we have a sun lounger now, perfect to enjoy the day. Continue reading New Sun Lounger In The Garden

A Few Small Blog Changes


Back then when I started my blog, I had no idea why I did so, I also had no idea how far I would go. It’s out of question today, I like blogging pretty much. But sometimes you need to take a look if you still like how you did set your blog up. I made some minor changes now. I had sub menus below the header. That made the menu look crowded. I removed the sub menus and do now only show links to the main categories of the blog. I had quite a lot of internal links in … Continue reading A Few Small Blog Changes

Jako The Black Labrador


I showed you Jacko already once on my blog. It’s the black labrador of my uncle. My uncle, my aunt and the kids are often in the nature on the campsite with the dog on weekends. At times it can happen that my uncle is very busy even afternoons or evenings due to his company, but then the dog has a place to go too, my mother did take care about the dog when this happens, but it doesn’t happen too often. That means the dog is used to other people. It’s fun to play with him, he is really … Continue reading Jako The Black Labrador
