Another Robin


I posted already a Robin today, but I have another photo that I want to share. It’s because I saw several of them today, and I had a little bit of luck to get some decent shots. The days get brighter now that we start to see a little bit of sunshine. I hope to see even better lighting conditions soon, because I’d like to take some pictures with low ISO and less image noise. The photo in this post is shot at ISO 1250 and there is still a bit of noise visible, but at least I didn’t have … Continue reading Another Robin

Curious Robin


Today was more sunshine, it’s not too dark anymore, but still a little bit cloudy. Anyway, I thought I go out for a short hike and to take some pictures. I saw small birds again, and today they seemed to be a little bit more relaxed. You know, birds like to fly from one branch to another, and that makes it difficult to get a nice photo, but today that was easier. The Robin in the photo of this post for example did let me come close, I was only 2 meters away, and then I used the 300mm of … Continue reading Curious Robin

Schellbruch Nature Photo


The photo in this post was taken last year during one of my hikes to the Schellbruch in Lübeck. It’s a great place, and I want to hike there again the coming summer. As you might have noticed, or as I have mentioned a few times, I try to upload some of my older photos at times, the ones that I never uploaded to my blog. As mentioned, it’s easier to click on the shutter button of a camera, than uploading the results to a blog, that means I have over 5000 images that I didn’t upload yet. Not all … Continue reading Schellbruch Nature Photo

A Woodpecker In The Fog


I’ve been in Lübeck for two days to manage some things. One morning I had a little bit of time and decided to walk through the parks near the Trave River. It was a foggy morning, very beautiful, and at some point on my way, I heard the drumming somewhere in the trees, it was clear there would be a woodpecker somewhere. I find it very hard to take photos of them, I heard them often, but usually they are at the top of the tree and that makes it very difficult. In this case I had a little bit … Continue reading A Woodpecker In The Fog

Winter Hike


Here is a photo I shot during my winter hikes in Reinfeld. I did hike so much there that I am actually not sure if there is still a path where I didn’t walk. I often use Google Maps to check out where I could go hike, but I have seen a lot around the town, I hiked in all directions. The result is that I have tons of photos, that I probably never will finish to upload, but this is not too bad. Sometimes the weather is so bad that you don’t go out to shoot new ones, if … Continue reading Winter Hike
