If you are still in Christmas fever, here is a photo of a Christmas tree glitter ball. I shot the photo in front of the town hall of the village where I am right now. There is a big Christmas tree in front of the town hall, and I shot some photos of it. I still need to sort out the bad photos, to find the good ones, but Christmas time is busy time, it might upload them a little bit delayed. Continue reading Christmas Tree Glitter Ball
Where on earth did the time go? It’s Christmas time again! My little cousin thought I should take a photo of a Christmas glitter ball and I accepted the challenge and asked her to illuminate the ball from the top with the flashlight of my smartphone for some extra glitter. I like the result and it’s the perfect photo to wish you all Happy Holidays! So, here we go. Of course it has always been my opinion, but this year has shown me again that there is nothing more of value than health. All I wish for my family and … Continue reading I Wish You Happy Holidays
As I mentioned, I moved temporary to take care of my uncle until he feels better, but that doesn’t mean that I have no free time, because his wife takes care too, and that means there is still enough time for myself. I know the village already, but I never checked the whole area and as someone who likes to hike, I thought it would be a good idea to do that. The place could be interesting in summer, there are lots of fields and farms, some smaller forests, and very small lakes. We have winter and everything should be … Continue reading First Winter Hikes
The photo above is my entry to the recent photo challenge. I thought I could use one of my bird photos for the theme “gathering”, although I shot the photo by the end of summer. Some photo challenges do remind me to go through the photos which I didn’t upload yet. You can see cormorants in the photo, I found them when I walked through the Schellbruch preserve area outside of our city. I really like cormorants, they are very interesting birds.

So, here comes a small update,… I moved out of my apartment, at least for a while. This is just temporary, I will go back to my apartment. As I mentioned some time ago, my uncle got some health problems, and he felt better after a while, but over the recent weeks he got some bad symptoms, but the doctor said the symptoms will disappear. However, I don’t want to write about it in detail, but he needs help at the moment, which is why I moved to my uncle for a while, together with my cat Shyna. We got … Continue reading Moved For A While
Here is a plant photo that I shot by the end of summer in a local school garden. The original photo was really bad, with extreme highlights, but then I noticed that the plant was not too much overexposed, only the rest of the image. I cropped the plant out, got closer on that way, and decreased the exposure a little bit for correction. Even that close, I was happy to see that the plant was just a little blurry, and that I could fix this with sharpening and a little amount of clarity. I like the result, except that … Continue reading Close-Up Plant Photo
