Just A Helicopter

Dennis

It’s still not the perfect weather for photography, but I went outside anyway yesterday. I heard a chopper in the air and thought I could test my new lens again. The test photo was shot at 270mm, it doesn’t look that great due to the dark weather, but I am happy how far I get can with the lens. The photo is cropped, that means I was in fact further away, but I didn’t have to crop too much. I am happy that I can focus fast enough with the lens, it’s at least fast enough for me, and I … Continue reading Just A Helicopter

Weekly Photo Challenge: Vibrant

Dennis

The theme of the recent WordPress Photo Challenge is about vibrant colors. I thought I would participate with a photo of a salad. I do not only like to eat salads, I do also like the colors of salads. I do usually add tomato, cucumber, lettuce and paprika to my salads, that means there are at least two vibrant colors, red and green, unless I add a paprika with a different colour like green or yellow.

Blackbird 300mm Test Photo Under Bad Conditions

Dennis

Above you can see a cropped image of a 300mm test shot I did take under bad weather conditions with my new 70-300mm Tamron lens. It was pretty cloudy, the ISO was bumped up to 1600, which is why the image is grainy even after using the noise reduction tool in Lightroom. Of course, the cropping makes the high ISO more apparent, but without editing it looked worse. Below I will show you the image without crop, and after that I will show you the image without crop and without changes in Lightroom. As said, the image was shot at … Continue reading Blackbird 300mm Test Photo Under Bad Conditions

I Got The Tamron 70-300mm VC USD Tele Zoom Lens

Dennis

As I mentioned in my previous post, the Tamron 70-300mm VC USD lens was on my radar. I went to one of the local tech stores in Lübeck and was happy that they allowed me to test the lens on my own D7100. To say it right away, I purchased the lens after using it for a while in the store. I researched about the pros and cons of this lens, and gathered many important information’s, but sometimes reviews are very different and that can confuse you a lot. So, I had questions that I could only get answered by … Continue reading I Got The Tamron 70-300mm VC USD Tele Zoom Lens

Winter Landscape Hike

Dennis

As I mentioned in some of my earlier posts, there are different smaller forests and fields outside of Reinfeld. We have fallow deer and roe deer in the forests outside of the town, and there are wild boars in the shrubbery near the pond but they are shy at day time and only come out at night. I really don’t want to meet wild boars when I am hiking, because they can be dangerous, especially after they did breed. When you spot a female wild boar with offspring, it can end badly, because they might try to aggressively protect the … Continue reading Winter Landscape Hike
