Beautiful Nature

Dennis

I walked near the Trave River today to see if I find anything interesting, to see if I can take more photos. I took quite a lot of photos but I am not happy with all of them. Talking about flowers now, I noticed that my kit lens really doesn’t do a great job for flower close-up shots, it’s simply not a macro lens. If I zoom in too much, it’ll be very hard and often even impossible to get the flower in focus. But you can get some neat results if you are not too close, it’s just not … Continue reading Beautiful Nature

Yawning Cat

Dennis

I thought to do a photo shooting with Shyna again. I was outside with the camera the whole weekend and it is sunday and shooting photos at home was now the more practical idea. I didn’t expect anything special while shooting photos with my cat, but then I saw her yawning and as the camera was set for fast shutter speed I had some luck to capture the moment. Well, I learned already, photography is often more about coincidences as in this case. There are some things I am unhappy with, the highlights due to the sun shining through the … Continue reading Yawning Cat

A Perfect Burger

Dennis

Today I visited my mother as we wanted to cook something together. We decided to make burgers. We both think that the burgers of the known fast food chains are not very special, they taste a little bit like cardboard or something as drily. But creating our own hamburger? We never did that, it’s simply not that common here. To be honest, I pretty much like the idea of eating burgers, at least if they are freshly made somewhere, but not those you get from the very well-known big fast food chains. So, we though we should try to make … Continue reading A Perfect Burger

Beautiful Feral Pigeon

Dennis

Pigeons like to pose for a photo. Ok, I am kidding, most of them are just not afraid to cross the ways of us humans. That is why they are the ideal model for a photographer trying to master the first DSLR camera. They are not hurried, they give you time to take several photos. I like that. I always thought they look boring, but if you take a look closer with your lens and if you later take a look at the photos, they are actually pretty beautiful in my opinion. In the case of the pigeon in the … Continue reading Beautiful Feral Pigeon

Uprooted Tree

Dennis

As I mentioned days ago, we had a heavy storm in Northern Germany some days ago. Today I saw the recent motto of the Weekly Photo Challenge and this time we can share a photo that is about the forces of nature. I thought it would probably possible to find some damage the storm caused, and I was right, I found a uprooted tree in one of the parks of our district. I think that this pretty much shows the force of nature… Continue reading Uprooted Tree
