Running Up A Tree


It seems I shot a photo of an Eurasian treecreeper, that’s at least what I found out during my research and when I compared the results with my photo. I saw this kind of bird quite often since I am in Reinfeld. I usually see them near the pond at the trees, and it almost looks like they run up trees. If my research is right, then it would fit, because the German name for the Eurasian treecreeper is “Waldbaumläufer”, which means something like “Forest Tree Runner”, literally translated. As said, they really run up trees, and I wouldn’t even … Continue reading Running Up A Tree

A Pigeon On A Field


Even if you can find pigeons everywhere, I still like to take photos of them, because it’s all about practicing. I believe if I take a lot of photos, I can improve my future work, and to me it doesn’t matter how often you can find a subject, I still like to take pictures of them. In the case of my recent pigeon photo, I liked how the pigeon was sitting there lonely on the field. I started to enjoy bird photography, although I do think it can be very challenging if you want to take photos of special birds … Continue reading A Pigeon On A Field

Deer In The Forest


I shot the two above yesterday in the morning during my hike through a forest. I saw deer but the first photos didn’t turn out well as I really didn’t expect to see them. But then I was more attentive, and around 10 minutes later I saw deer again, I shot the two photos you can see in this post. I think the photos are ok, I shot them at 300mm and cropped the first one a little bit. It’s really awesome if you find deer in the morning, it’s a nice experience and makes you enjoy the hike even … Continue reading Deer In The Forest

Beautiful Yellow Bird


In this post you can see a photo of another bird I found in the mentioned bird station. I saw several signs with explanations of the birds, but I think they had more bird species than signs. So, in this case I can just assume that the bird in the photo is a canary bird. I am sad that I shot the photos in the evening during overcast sky, because I had to use ISO 1600 and that is the reason why the image is so noisy. I didn’t want to use the noise reduction feature in Lightroom too heavily, … Continue reading Beautiful Yellow Bird

Wild Life: I Found Deer


Today I found deer. I was walking along the highway and thought it was rather boring to see all the field and shrubberies on the side. But then in the distance on the field, I saw something, I did set my lens to 300mm because it could just be deer and I didn’t want to miss this chance. I took several photos, just to be sure that I have enough to choose from. The deer was still pretty far away, too far away for 300mm, but I cropped the photo with Lightroom, with quality loss, just to get closer, but … Continue reading Wild Life: I Found Deer
