Happy Sheep

Dennis

Here is a photo that I shot on my way during the last hike. I saw some fields with sheep, but we have lots of them in Northern Germany. I think they have it good for the time of being because the fields are usually very large, that’s why I wrote “Happy Sheep” in the title. I didn’t do a lot of editing except for some tone changes as usual. I did “mute” the green color a bit to make the sheep become a bit more present in the image. In other words, I did decrease saturation of the color … Continue reading Happy Sheep

Finally, Hiking Weather

Dennis

We had some very mixed days again, some already warm but also stormy days. Today in the morning, I watched out of the window and thought the weather would be perfect for a hike. It was warm but I felt a fresh breeze when I opened the window. This really seemed to be perfect, because if it’s too hot, it’s not good either. I like it if there is a breeze when I go hiking, because then it’s not a torture and you don’t sweat too much. So, I packed my camera and the 70-300m lens into the bag and … Continue reading Finally, Hiking Weather

Great Tit Bird Photo

Dennis

Above you can see a photo of a great tit bird (Parus major). It’s not too difficult to find them where I live. Of course it’s possible to find them in the nature, but sometimes you also spot them in districts of the city. I shot the photo of this bird for example in a town near a front yard of a house. They are often in gardens. Anyway, since they are tiny, it’s sometimes still a challenge to find out where the bird call comes from. By the way, I found a YouTube video of the great tit call, … Continue reading Great Tit Bird Photo

Be Careful Near The Edge

Dennis

Funny title, right? It’s yet again another photo post and I had no idea what kind of title I could use and came up with this. So, be careful if you stand near the edge of a cliff! I shot the photo near Lübeck, to be more exact between Travemünde and Timmendorfer Strand at the Brodtener cliff coast. This is at the baltic sea and a very beautiful place. The original photo looked more flat, but I extracted lots of details and messed around with the tone values until I liked it. Continue reading Be Careful Near The Edge

Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflecting

Dennis

I forgot to participate in the last photo challenges because it seems they moved the day from Friday to Wednesday. Also I was quite a bit lazy over the last months and followed other hobbies like PC gaming. Anyway, I thought I participate again. This time the challenge is about reflection again, this seems to be a theme once in a year. During one of my hikes in the past, I saw a silver ball on a table at a front yard of a house and shot the photo in this post. I had no real reason to upload it, … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflecting
