Charlie The New Family Member


Here is something I didn’t write about yet as I was quite lazy in the past. As I mentioned previously. Billy went to the dog heaven, but my mother and her husband decided not to get a new dog right away, but then they noticed that it’s so different without a dog and decided to start searching for a new one anyway. They finally found one, he is already two years old and the previous owners didn’t have time anymore, they wanted to find a new family for their dog. My mother and her husband met them and while drinking … Continue reading Charlie The New Family Member

A Trave River Harbor Installation And The History Behind It


I shot the photo above one month ago when I wandered through Lübeck. The photo in this post is shot near the inner-city, the side where I shot the photo from is the historic district of Lübeck, but in this photo you can only see the old harbor installation on the other side of the district, in the middle is the Trave River.

My Opinion About People And Street Photography In Germany


I don’t take much photos of people, although I would like to experience people photography too, but that is not easy in Germany due to strict privacy protection laws, the portrait rights and the personality rights. I could explain that but in short, in Germany you can not take a picture of a stranger without permission. But it’s more complex than that. There are several exceptions, as far as I know you can for example take pictures of public figures or so-called very important persons if they are in the public, but even with public figures there are situations where … Continue reading My Opinion About People And Street Photography In Germany

Lighthouse Travemünde


The photo above was shot before the one with the ship light trails that I uploaded yesterday. I want to store this one as well another version. The photo is taken in Germany at the Baltic Sea in Travemünde at dusk. I thought the photo is a little bit uneven, I tried to adjust it horizontally with Lightroom but no matter what I did, it always looks somewhat uneven. This either might be a visual illusion due to the uneven promenade, or that is lens bending (although I experienced that does only happen at the wide end of my lens). … Continue reading Lighthouse Travemünde
