Learning A Few Things About Long Exposure During My First Attempt To Capture Lightnings

July 4, 2015September 9, 2015 Dennis

I complained several times on my blog that the start of the summer in Germany was rather autumn-like, not because I dislike autumn, I am in fact a big fan of this kind of climate, but it’s not really the best weather for photography which is why I was unhappy with it. But then a few days ago the weather changed, it became tolerable warm. Now all of a sudden, the weather changed from autumn-like over tolerable warm to hot and humid. There is a heat wave in Germany right now, it’s maddening hot and humid since two days. It’s … Continue reading Learning A Few Things About Long Exposure During My First Attempt To Capture Lightnings

Weekly Photo Challenge: Door

July 3, 2015 Dennis

The recent WordPress Photo Challenge is funny, no really, I like it. I enjoy taking pictures of objects. There are so many objects that most people would find boring, I did that too, but I pay more attention to these objects since I am interested in photography. This weeks challenge is about doors, and they are probably one of these subjects where most people would ask “Why did you take a picture of a door?”, I would have asked the same question too a while ago, but now I don’t, because they are interesting. The fun about photography is to … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Door

Morning At The Schellbruch

Just another nature photo taken at the Schellbruch. The photo pretty much shows why I like this place. It’s a place rich in variety with all the water, meadows, small forests and all the birds flying around there. I felt so relaxed after walking through that area.

Cormorant take off?

July 3, 2015July 3, 2015 Dennis

During my hike through the Schellbruch I shot several photos of birds. It’s said that there are over 200 different species, that means it was not very difficult to see a few of them. I am not a bird expert, that means I had to research about several birds in my photos. The following series of pictures maybe shows any kind of cormorant, that’s at least the conclusion of me and several people I showed the photos. What do you think? I am pretty much sure it is a cormorant, but I am not sure what kind of cormorant. According … Continue reading Cormorant take off?

Uncles Birthday Barbecue

July 2, 2015 Dennis

My uncle did invite the whole family to his birthday party yesterday, it was a great birthday barbecue. Not without trouble, my uncle did use a little bit too much of charcoal lighter and the grill was literally on fire. Even after he closed the cap and the air valves, the fire was still irrepressible. The grill was so hot that flames shot through the back panel, through the front and edges. We got concerned when the flames got quite big, because it looked as they could now reach the hedges behind the grill. The hedge is far enough away … Continue reading Uncles Birthday Barbecue

Schellbruch Meadows

July 2, 2015 Dennis

Here is another photo I shot during my walk through the Schellbruch, that is how all the meadows look there and most of them have a forest or water in the background. You maybe can see some small spots over the field, I saw so many pollen and insects there, its beautiful to look at when you see it in real, you could even hear all the insects.
