Love Lock


I found a tower here on my hike through Bad Schwartau. I went up there and had a nice view, but then I found all the love locks attached to the railings. I never understood this trend, but as I have difficulties to find interesting photo subjects, the love locks at least made me press the shutter button. It was also a good small object to test my 50mm lens. I like to work with this lens, because it makes me more active as I can’t zoom with it. I like to use this lens for portraits, but I do … Continue reading Love Lock

Bad Schwartau Landscape


Here is a random snapshot that I took during my hike through Bad Schwartau. The day was cold and it was quite foggy, but I removed the haze in Photoshop as it was too much. The sky looked boring even after decreasing haze, and I came up with the idea to add a gradual filter to make the sky look darker, as if there would be an upcoming storm or something. I think the image doesn’t look too bad now, there is something I like about it, I think I like that it looks like there is upcoming bad weather. Continue reading Bad Schwartau Landscape

Horse Eye


Trying something different, I shot a close-up photo of a white horse as I wanted to focus on one of the eyes. I like how it turned out, you can see the eyelashes very well. This is rather an experimental photo, I really like to try things out. The photo was taken during my hike yesterday. I didn’t take a lot of photos as I find it difficult in this less colourful season, but sometimes I still spot interesting things on my way. I hope you like this experimental photo too.

Tree Trunk Leaves


Here is a close-up shot of some leaves that are growing out of a tree trunk. I was hiking through the Riesebusch forest in Bad Schwartau yesterday, to see if I could find any interesting subjects in this rather grey season. I didn’t find a lot of things, but I liked the scene with the leaves that grow out of the trunk. The hike was still interesting, I did yet again meet interesting people. I talked with an older man, he told me that he was ranger before he retired. He saw my camera and said that he would be … Continue reading Tree Trunk Leaves

Mall Christmas Decoration


Here is a photo that I shot in a local mall. It was rather a random shot, but I like how the photo turned out. It’s maybe more abstract, or as said, just random. But I liked how the Christmas decoration was hanging down, and the windows in the background at the ceiling. I actually tested to focus on the lights, but then I did focus on the ceiling and liked it more. I do have a Christmas category since some time, but I never uploaded much photos to it. I can see that this category might be more filled … Continue reading Mall Christmas Decoration
