Just Another Interesting Flower

Dennis

The shot above is one that I took two weeks ago. I can´t get enough of the flower photos. They are beautiful on their own and a nice subject for photos. As always I am not sure about the name of this flower. I should start to study some of them. But as often, I guess some of you experts know the name. I really like this one but I am not happy with the results of the shot. There was wind and my digital camera does not have a very fast auto focus. Anyway, the plant is beautiful.

I Got A New All-In-One Printer

Dennis

In Germany we tend to say “Eine Hand wäscht die andere” which means “One hand washes the other”, if people help each other. If I can help a friend or family member, then I do it and I usually don´t demand anything in return. But it´s sometimes great if you get something offered in return as appreciation for your help. I helped my uncle out several times and last week he told me by phone that he has still one of these all-in-one or combo printers that he don´t need anymore because he got another one. He asked me if … Continue reading I Got A New All-In-One Printer

Black And White Cat, Slightly Monochrome

Dennis

When I took photos of my cat Shyna, she started to play with the strap of my digital camera. I really had to laugh but at the same time I realized that it would be the chance to get some funny shots. I will upload some of them over time. But I start with the one above. I edited the image with Photoshop and added a monochrome effect. But then there is also the original image… Only sad thing is that it seems that there were hairs on or near the lens. It looks like if there would be two … Continue reading Black And White Cat, Slightly Monochrome

My Cat And A Black Background

Dennis

I have chosen one of my cat photos and loaded it with Photoshop. I wanted to get rid of the background behind my cat Shyna. I also changed the whole image to black and white because recently Leanne´s Monochrome Madness Challenges and her participants inspired me to experiment. Ok, I must admit that black and white effects have not much of an effect if your subject in the photo is a black and white cat and if you recolored the whole background to black too, but it´s still somewhat interesting. Here I applied a black and white adjustment layer and … Continue reading My Cat And A Black Background

What Kind Of Insect Is This?

Dennis

To be honest, I am not sure what kind of thing this insect on the photo is. My mother took the image when they drove to the campsite in Salem last weekend. I wrote several times about Salem here on my blog and this place is near Ratzeburg and Mölln. Or in other words, round about 30 kilometers south from Lübeck where we live. There is a lot of untouched nature in the area of Salem and you can find all kind of animals and insects there and sometimes you do really wonder what you find. I was not there … Continue reading What Kind Of Insect Is This?
