Parus major


Above is a photo that I shot today and I am pretty happy with it. I was able to crop the image heavily, but it still looked ok.

If you like bird photos, you can find more on my blog and also different photos of sparrows. Continue reading Male House Sparrow

But what I really find interesting about this picture is that it almost looks like a Diorama Illusion or miniature faked image. If you take a look at the truck on the Autobahn, it does somehow look like a toy. I think that illusion comes from the fact that I was focussing at the Autobahn of … Continue reading Almost A Diorama Illusion
