Practicing Night Photography Without Tripod


Today I decided to practice night photography in the city, because I have trouble to take decent night photos without tripod. I could just take my tripod with me, but I still don’t have a decent bag for it, and anyway, I think it should be possible without a tripod in some situations.

Potatoes With Cabbage, Sausage And Minced Meat


Talking about classical German dishes, I’d say potatoes with cabbage, sausage and minced meat is definitely on the list.

Beautiful Eurasian Coot


In the photo above you can see an Eurasian coot, I shot the photo near a pond when I walked through the parks. I believe it’s the first time that I took a photo of an Eurasian coot, or the first time I uploaded one to my blog. It’s good to have some other bird photos uploaded to the blog, although it’s sad that we don’t have so much colourful birds in Germany, our birds are rather common and not so paradisiacal, but still beautiful I think.
