The Recolored Mini Plate With Potatoes, Beans And Bacon

Dennis

One thing that I love about Photoshop, is that I can color things with the tool. I really love this activity and I sometimes do this when I am bored. The results are not always perfect but it´s really funny and entertaining and I am not exactly sure why. I think it´s because it´s interesting to see how things appear in different colors and it is also fun to boost or brighten colors. I think that´s what I like about it. Here is one photo I boosted or recolored today… The original photo is this one… I didn´t like the … Continue reading The Recolored Mini Plate With Potatoes, Beans And Bacon

It´s Been A While… Now A Daisy Photo Again!

Dennis

I think I have already several daisy photos uploaded to my blog but I like the appearance of the daisy flower and I never can have enough photos of them as they are so beautiful. I shot the photo above some days ago when I was walking outside. Well, it´s not very hard to find them as they are everywhere. The photo above is by the way very similar to this one, despite I shot them not in the same month. Continue reading It´s Been A While… Now A Daisy Photo Again!

Common Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)

Dennis

I think you can see a common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) on the photo. This beautiful yellow flower is very common here in Germany and you can find them everywhere and it´s a wildflower that you can find everywhere in the green grass and even between the street curbs. They are so prevalent that some even think that it is weed. The first thing you will notice on the grass is either a common dandelion or millions of daisies but I guess you can find them in a lot of places of the earth? I like both flower types as they … Continue reading Common Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)

Weekly Photo Challenge: Monument

Dennis

For the Monument Photo Challenge, I thought there would be no better subject in Lübeck than the Holstentor which is called Holsten Gate in english. I uploaded already a photo of the Holstentor some time ago for the photo challenge with the motto grand. But the gate fits yet again to the new challenge. I could now write a huge story about the Holstentor that is a very old architecture but the article on Wikipedia is very nice and explains it all, in case you are interested in history of Lübeck or history of the Holsten Gate. It was quite … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Monument

Firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus)

Dennis

Above you can see a Firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus) which I found on my way while wandering through my town. I like the patterns and colors of the Firebug and I guess the name fits very well to the appearance of this bug. I am little bit sad because I took several close-up images of the insect but this little friend was in hurry so that it was not easy. I thought I would have one very nice close-up shot but at home I did notice on my computer that most photos were too blurry and the photo above is the … Continue reading Firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus)
