More Garden Flowers

Dennis

I noticed I shoot more photos than I ever upload. That was already the case when I still used my point and shoot or smartphone camera, but it’s even more the case with the DSLR as I pretty much enjoy to be outside with the camera. The photo above is taken in the garden again, as always I am not sure what kind of flowers they are, but I liked the scene and took a photo. I like both, the flowers in the background and the ones in the foreground. I think the flowers in the foreground are rather wildflowers. … Continue reading More Garden Flowers

First Garden Yields

Dennis

On friday when we celebrated mom’s birthday in the garden, we also checked out how the garden plants are doing. We found the first radishes, we found three of them. Mom got one, her husband and I tested one too. Apart from the fact that I am a real fan of radishes, the garden radish tasted extremely good. The husband of my mother doesn’t like chemicals, he prefers to let the things grow on their own and you taste it. The garden radish was actually more tasty than those you get in the stores. Next we also checked out the … Continue reading First Garden Yields

Off-Season

Dennis

I actually thought I couldn’t take any photo for the recent photo challenge with the motto Off-Season. But we have still very mixed weather in Northern Germany, it’s actually not really summer weather except for some good days.

The weather was perfect when we started, but as soon as we arrived, the weather changed from summer to autumn and it began to rain. In the photo above you see … Continue reading Off-Season

Mom’s Birthday Barbecue

Dennis

Friday was the birthday of my mother and we had very good weather and decided to drive to the garden to have a barbecue together. So, mom got a tasty birthday barbecue and we spent time together. We had the usual steaks that we often purchase, but I did visit my favorite butcher and bought shashlik. The shashlik was quite delicious, it was goulash spiked with eggplant and zucchini. My mother made a tasty salad again with tomatoes, peppers, cucumber and onions. We also had potato salad but that was a finished product but tasty anyway. I shot a lot … Continue reading Mom’s Birthday Barbecue

Tripod Ball Head Has Arrived And Testing A Remote Shutter App

Dennis

Yesterday I received the Manfrotto 498RC ball head for my tripod. Now I do have everything complete for the tripod. I thought I could need the cheap Nikon ML-L3 wireless remote control shutter release, but I do now have another great solution for remote controlling. There is an app for android smartphones called DslrDashboard on the GooglePlay store. I am android user so that I don’t know if you find the app for iOS as well, but I guess the app is available there too. You can control Nikon and Canon cameras remotely with this app, you just need a … Continue reading Tripod Ball Head Has Arrived And Testing A Remote Shutter App
