Here is a bad photo of a squirrel. Bad because the photo was pretty useless without cropping, and the heavy cropping reduced the image quality heavily. But somehow I also didn’t want to delete the image. I mean, you can see the squirrel very well, it’s just that I don’t like the image quality. But I think it’s still a nice snapshot. There are more squirrel photos on my blog. Continue reading Squirrel
Here is a photo of a white duck. I saw it in a local pond and I’ve read that white ducks aren’t common outside. So, it is most likely a breed of domestic duck, probably escaped. The photo was shot at 1/1600 sec, which was fast enough to get the wing flap in the photo. This is a photo where I didn’t feel the need to edit, except that I increased sharpness because I shot RAW. I also cropped quite a bit to get even closer but that was all. Everything else was fine in my opinion. Continue reading White Duck
Here is a photo of a common blackbird. The photo didn’t work well in color but I liked it more in black and white. It’s still not perfect but the reason I converted the image was that the colors looked dull, and the background was way too intrusive. But now that’s not the case anymore and the bird pops a bit more out. There are more bird photos on my blog. Continue reading Blackbird
Last weekend I was invited to a party and barbecue. Some old friends or acquaintances planned this a month ago and asked if I would like to come too. I don’t hang around with them often, because I have other friends. But some of them wanted to go there too because of holidays, boredom and seeing old faces again. It took a while until I was persuaded because the host is known to make no jokes when it’s about doing a party, which means purchasing too many alcoholic beverages. I barely still drink, maybe one or two times a year … Continue reading Too Old For This
Just a snapshot I took near our train station. I like shapes of different bridges. Generally, the picture was a bit boring, but in black and white it really looked great. I don’t know, especially urban photos can look really grungy in black and white, especially when there are smearings on buildings or walls. I think these pictures start to shine when you convert them to black and white. But maybe it’s just my taste. I really like it that. But I do generally like black and white photography.

I experimented a bit again with my 40mm macro lens. I had a mineral water bottle on my desk and saw those very tiny bubbles. I thought the bubbles looked cool and wanted to take a picture with my macro … Continue reading Mineral Water Bubbles
