Bumblebee Worker


Here is a photo that I shot last May during a hike through the nature around Reinfeld. I didn’t do a lot of insect photography since I purchased my first DSLR camera. It’s mainly because I don’t own a macro lens, but in some cases it’s also possible to take insect photos with my Tamron 70-300mm lens or with my Nikon 18-105 lens.

A Tufted Duck


Here is a photo of a tufted duck (Aythya fuligula). The image is not that sharp because I had to crop heavily.

Another Beautiful Horse

It is a brown and white horse, but it almost looks like a black and white horse. I saw the horse in this post on a small field together with a beautiful white horse. Now there are already a few entries in my horse category, but I will increase the amount over time to have a nice horse photo collection here. Continue reading Another Beautiful Horse

I think it’s also about the landscape on the left and on the right, or the weather conditions that can make a scene look interesting. The photo in this post was taken last December during a hike through a small forest in Reinfeld. Continue reading Forest Path
