Lighthouse Travemünde


The photo above was shot before the one with the ship light trails that I uploaded yesterday. I want to store this one as well another version. The photo is taken in Germany at the Baltic Sea in Travemünde at dusk. I thought the photo is a little bit uneven, I tried to adjust it horizontally with Lightroom but no matter what I did, it always looks somewhat uneven. This either might be a visual illusion due to the uneven promenade, or that is lens bending (although I experienced that does only happen at the wide end of my lens). … Continue reading Lighthouse Travemünde

Long Exposure: Passing Ship In Travemünde


As I mentioned in my earlier post, I was at the Travemünde Beach today and experimented a little bit with long shutter durations. The blue image in the gallery above is another photo I shot, the pink one is edited with Lightroom as I thought changing it to pink would work too. You can click on the images to enlarge them. To explain the scene, as mentioned in the title, there was a big ship passing and I captured the lights of it with the long shutter speed. The image is shot with 15 seconds shutter speed with an aperture … Continue reading Long Exposure: Passing Ship In Travemünde

My First Long Exposure Photo Outside In The Evening


My mother and her husband asked me today if I would like to accompany them when they drive to the beach in Travemünde in the evening. That was a nice idea, I planned to use my tripod and to take some evening or night photos at some point anyway, and the beach is a perfect subject. I have read a lot about long exposure, for example when I tested long exposure at home, I also learned how to set up all things manually with my D7100. That means, I know already a little bit about the theory, it was time … Continue reading My First Long Exposure Photo Outside In The Evening

No Beach Time Yet


Self-explaining scene I’d say. It’s still not the time to go bathe in the Baltic Sea. I am happy that summer is not too far away. Swimming in the Baltic Sea is always like a healing process. The salty air makes you feel good, the sound of the waves wipes away the accumulated stress. It’s good to walk on the beach no matter what kind of season, but it would be greater to be able to jump into the water, but I need to be patient. Continue reading No Beach Time Yet

Some More Random Snapshots From Northern Germany


I posted some random snapshots from Northern Germany earlier this day but later I found some more that we took. I call them snapshots because the image quality is not perfect but you can still see where my family and me live at. The images below show some places on the Baltic Sea and a forest we visit sometimes. I think I will also upload some galleries at times if I don´t want to write a story to every photo or if I want to upload them as a package.
