Cool, I Have Won Mineral Water

Dennis

I had a bit of luck this week. I am following one German site that regularly collects and posts promotional contests that are running across the internet, and I like this site because the guys behind it weed out all the shady contests. In other words, they do a really good job to only post about contests of serious and very well-known companies. Once in a while, like every one or two weeks on a boring day, I go through all of the recent contests and participate in some of them that I like. I prefer the contests where I … Continue reading Cool, I Have Won Mineral Water

Fried Potatoes With Fried Eggs

Dennis

Here is a photo of fried potatoes with fried eggs. I did probably mention it a tons of times on my blog, but this is one of my favorite dishes. It’s so simple to prepare, even a lazy cook like I am can do it, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t tasty. I do also like it with fried onions, then it’s extra delicious. Sometimes I also eat it with ketchup, but that totally depends on my mood (laugh). I bet my whole blog is already plastered with fried potato photos. Continue reading Fried Potatoes With Fried Eggs

Another Horse Photo

Dennis

Here is another photo for my horse category. I shot the photo directly in our city because there is a very small equestrian farm in one of the districts. The photo is a bit badly framed, I would have preferred it if the horse would be completely in the frame, and nut cut at the bottom. But I still think the photo is not too bad, it’s just a minor framing issue I think. Continue reading Another Horse Photo

Black And White Metal Texture

Dennis

Sometimes I do also take photos of textures. I do especially like metal surfaces that are rusty, or rust in general. I like these textures in color, but recently I started to experiment more with black and white effects, usually when the colours in the photos look dull or if there are other issues. That was the case with the photo above, the colours were not really prominent or special, but the surface texture got more defined when I applied a black and white and a bit more clarity. I think I didn’t often upload texture photos, maybe I should … Continue reading Black And White Metal Texture

Black And White Landscape Photo

Dennis

Above you can see a photo that I shot outside of Lübeck, to be more exact around Bad Schwartau. I liked the landscape, the tree, the field and the little hunting outpost that is visible. However, the resulting photo was bad because there was too much haze in the photo. A bit of haze is good but this was too much and made the image look kinda flat and I didn’t want to use a digital de-haze filter because I thought a black and white effect could look good. The idea was that it would add contrast, it would make … Continue reading Black And White Landscape Photo
