I took the image above while wandering and enjoying the first spring sunbeams. I saw this rusty blue metal fence and thought I try to shoot a macro image with my digital camera. I am not that much happy as the image is blurred where it shouldn´t be. But it is not too bad I think. Rusty metal can really have some special colors and can really look fancy. What do you think?

On monday I had my first Physiotherapy behind me, as planned. That was somewhat strange! I did get a therapeutic massage near my jaw to relax the jaw musculature. This was good and I noticed that it helped a little bit but then came the strange part as the doctor had gloves and he went into my mouth with his hand to massage the jaw musculature from the inside. It was not only strange, I felt pain and we needed to make a pause. Then he moved my jaw back and forth, to the left and to the right and … Continue reading First Physiotherapy Behind Me
Above you can see an image I shot of my cat Shyna. The lighting conditions were perfect as I mentioned earlier in my other article, so that even my cheap digital camera did do a good job. It´s impressive what this cheap digital camera and smartphones can do if all conditions are ok. You´re right, I edited the photo a little bit with Photoshop. I colored her eyes red and I have darken the background a little bit more and I also made adjustments with the shadows and highlights of the image. Here is another version without red eyes… The … Continue reading Red-eyed Cat Shyna
Today I was in the mood to experiment with my cheap 60 Dollar camera and decided to visit an art supply store as I wanted to find black and white paper. The reason is that I wanted to experiment with backgrounds, or let me say I wanted to use the paper as my photo background when I take photos of objects for example. I found the paper and went home but not without taking some images outside, but more about this later. You could almost say that springtime starts and the first warm sunbeams are noticeable. It was pretty warm … Continue reading There Is Something Possible With A 60 Dollar Camera And Photoshop
The image above is some months old and in bad quality but it shows how Shyna gives me a handshake. This is just another trick I tought her. I usually say “Give me five” in German, while showing my hand vertical near her paws, and then she does give me her paws. She also knows how to give paw in another variant but then I show my flat opened hand horizontal. It works in different ways too as you can see on the image. It´s pretty cute. It´s some time ago when I taught her how to do this but … Continue reading Handshake Kitty
I mentioned that I taught Shyna some tricks as she is really smart. Some time ago she started to stand up and it looked like she would imitate a Meerkat. Later I did have the idea to teach her some tricks and the Meerkat trick was on the list too. It´s not that difficult to teach as you might think. All you need is patience and a good idea how to do it. In case you have a cat and in case you are interested to teach the Meerkat trick, I will tell you how to do this. All you … Continue reading How To Teach A Cat The Meerkat Trick Or The Stand Trick
