Weekly Photo Challenge: Shine


The recent WordPress Photo Challenge is about light sources that make things visible. I first thought to come up with a photo of a spider web, because most often you can just see them if they are highlighted by the sunshine. I also thought about small streams in a forest, they are not always visible through the bush but when there is light shining into the forest, they stand out. But then I found the image that you can see in this post. It’s about a light source, about sunshine. You can not always see sunbeams, but sometimes they become … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Shine

Another Beautiful Horse


As promised, I already started to add some of my horse photos to my blog. The photo in this post was shot when I hiked through the Riesebusch area in Bad Schwartau. It is a brown and white horse, but it almost looks like a black and white horse. I saw the horse in this post on a small field together with a beautiful white horse. Now there are already a few entries in my horse category, but I will increase the amount over time to have a nice horse photo collection here. Continue reading Another Beautiful Horse

Golden Hour Cattle


In this post you can see a photo of cattle that I shot during the golden hour. I do really like this animal portrait, because the golden hour colours are cool and I do like the glowing ears and the fur detail.

There was just minimal editing because the original image was already quite good, I just pushed the shadows, clarity and the contrast a bit and decreased the blacks. Check out … Continue reading Golden Hour Cattle

White Horse


As I mentioned some time ago, there are still not enough horse photos on my blog. While I still have many that I didn’t upload yet, I am always happy if I find new horses and this happened today when I hiked through the Riesebusch in Bad Schwartau. I found two horses on a field located near the forest, and the white horse got my attention right away, as same as the horse noticed me. It was the perfect chance to take a nice horse portrait, what do you think? Continue reading White Horse

Tuxedo Beauty


I always like to take photos with my cat, and I think the one I show you with this post is really cool as it is basically a close-up portrait. She likes to hop on chairs, and I have this kitchen chair where she can go all crazy, because it’s just an old one, the fabric is very solid and everything else is metal anyway. I’d say it’s not my chair anymore, she claimed it already. Good for me too, because I could take the portrait in this post. Continue reading Tuxedo Beauty
