Pretty Foggy


I noticed that I don’t have a lot of fog pictures on my blog. But I still have some in my folders, photos that I should upload over time to fill this category a little bit too. I shot the photo some time ago, at the time when I shot this and this photo. I like foggy days, and it’s a perfect time to go out, because it appears so calm and beautiful. Fog is very interesting, but it can be challenging in photography due to the bad lighting conditions. Continue reading Pretty Foggy

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

Frozen Time


The recent WordPress Photo Challenge is about time. It’s some time ago when I told my mother how to fill up a glass with Coca Cola, not only because I was thirsty, but also because I wanted to try to freeze the time with my camera, or in other words, I wanted to find out how fast my D7100 camera is. At that time I was a complete newbie to DSLR photography, and I took the photo in the program mode but the result is just fine. At that time I didn’t discover the shutter priority mode, or the manual … Continue reading Frozen Time

Beautiful Narrow Alley


Since everything is grey outside, and as I am not very inspired currently, I thought I take a look at my photo folders and upload a few older ones. Here is a photo I shot last summer or so, it is a beautiful narrow alley, we have many of them in the city centre of Lübeck, but to find them, you must know where they are. Some of them are very hidden, others not. Continue reading Beautiful Narrow Alley

Beautiful Eurasian Coot


In the photo above you can see an Eurasian coot, I shot the photo near a pond when I walked through the parks. I believe it’s the first time that I took a photo of an Eurasian coot, or the first time I uploaded one to my blog. It’s good to have some other bird photos uploaded to the blog, although it’s sad that we don’t have so much colourful birds in Germany, our birds are rather common and not so paradisiacal, but still beautiful I think.
