Beautiful Moss

Dennis

Except for Christmas decorations and so, there is not much colour in the season. I went through the city today and then I saw this moss growing over a wall. I like moss, I liked the underwater moss in my fish tanks, but normal moss is beautiful too. I was happy to find something green today, and I used my 50mm lens wide open because I wanted to get a very blurry background and a focus on the moss. I hope you like this photo, it’s a minimalistic photo I guess. Continue reading Beautiful Moss

Ministry of Truth

Dennis

It would be amusing if that wouldn’t be so serious. Our German government plans to create a center to fight “disinformation” online ahead of next year’s elections. Looks like our government is scared shitless that they might not be re-elected. If they can’t control citizens anymore with their propaganda TV channels and radio stations thanks to the internet, they now have to change the strategy and go one step further. Now they want to control information’s in the web or on social media channels. I always said it, and I stick with it, the real extremists do already govern our … Continue reading Ministry of Truth

A Couple in Love

Dennis

Above you can see a photo of a gingerbread heart, I shot the photo today on the Christmas market in our city. On the right side you can see one with the text “Ich liebe Dich”, that means “I love you” in English. On the left side you see one with the text “Gib nicht auf” which means “Don’t give up”. But I don’t want to talk about this photo too much, I just thought it would fit to what I want to write next… Two strangers approached me today, it was a couple and they asked me if I … Continue reading A Couple in Love

Charlie Is Very Photogenic

Dennis

My mother has a cute dog, and it’s fun to take pictures with him. First of all because Charlie is very photogenic, and apart from that he loves attention and that’s what he always gets. He is a bit selfish to be honest, he always thinks everyone should pay attention to him, but that is so cute. When I visit my mother, I do have to pet her dog for at least 15 minutes, because he is really asking for it. A while ago, my mother got the dog from a family and it was said they didn’t have time … Continue reading Charlie Is Very Photogenic

Love Lock

Dennis

I found a tower here on my hike through Bad Schwartau. I went up there and had a nice view, but then I found all the love locks attached to the railings. I never understood this trend, but as I have difficulties to find interesting photo subjects, the love locks at least made me press the shutter button. It was also a good small object to test my 50mm lens. I like to work with this lens, because it makes me more active as I can’t zoom with it. I like to use this lens for portraits, but I do … Continue reading Love Lock

Bad Schwartau Landscape

Dennis

Here is a random snapshot that I took during my hike through Bad Schwartau. The day was cold and it was quite foggy, but I removed the haze in Photoshop as it was too much. The sky looked boring even after decreasing haze, and I came up with the idea to add a gradual filter to make the sky look darker, as if there would be an upcoming storm or something. I think the image doesn’t look too bad now, there is something I like about it, I think I like that it looks like there is upcoming bad weather. Continue reading Bad Schwartau Landscape
