Cute Ducklings

Dennis

I do have less time now to go out and take new photos, but as usual when this is the case, I do still have enough photos that I shot but that I didn’t upload yet. Today I want to show you a photo of some cute ducklings that I found around two weeks ago or so. I was somewhere outside of Lübeck and noticed a strange sound near a very small pond, and it took me a while but then I noticed I found these cute ducklings that made the sound. They are more than cute, aren’t they? Continue reading Cute Ducklings

Annual Complaint About The Summer Heat

Dennis

I actually thought that I wouldn’t have to do this, but here it is, my annual complaint about summer heat. We had rainy and cloudy weeks since some time now, and it was more like autumn, but then out of the sudden it became hot. Yes, not warm, it became hot from one day to another. We had a really hot week now, you can’t even breathe anymore. Here is my annual opinion,.., I am ok with warm weather, but I do absolutely hate hot weather. These times make me wish to live somewhere in the north, maybe somewhere in … Continue reading Annual Complaint About The Summer Heat

Hospital Frequenters

Dennis

I am currently very happy about our decision to get an apartment for my uncle in our city, an apartment very close to the rest of the family.

After the surgery, we knew the result was a complete resection of his tumor, but we were aware about the definition of the term “complete”, but I explained in another post what it means. A complete resection was … Continue reading Hospital Frequenters

Common Blackbird Close-Up

Dennis

You can find Common Blackbirds everywhere in the city, but the photo in this post was taken in the nature. I came fairly close with my 70-300mm Tamron lens, but I cropped the image slightly to get even closer. The black feathering of these birds might be boring, but still they are very funny and cute birds, and also beautiful. Looks like my Common Blackbird category on the blog is starting to grow. If you are new to the blog, check out my other photos. Continue reading Common Blackbird Close-Up

Beautiful Duck

Dennis

Here is a photo that I shot in Bad Oldesloe, they have ponds and rivers too there, and nature reserves. Since you can find ducks almost everywhere, they are not really special photo subjects, but they are still very beautiful. Especially this particular duck is beautiful, the plumage reminds me of tiger or leopard fur, because of the patterns and colours. What I mentioned often too, I like that ducks are slow, you can practice photography, for example experimenting with the manual modes of your camera, and this will build up experience I think.
