Wagtail On A Tree Stump

Dennis

Above you can see a wagtail bird on a tree stump. I am always happy when I can take photos of birds, but when I find a waigtail I am even more happy because they are a bit more difficult to find. When I was in Reinfeld, I noticed you have a higher chance to find them near the pond called Herrenteich. In Lübeck you find them more likely near the Trave River but I had a much better chance to find them in Reinfeld, for some reason they are much more likely to occur there, probably because it’s outside … Continue reading Wagtail On A Tree Stump

Baby Chicken

Dennis

Above is a photo that I shot in our garden last summer. The husband of my mother has chickens, and they did breed. The result was a small gang of very cute baby chickens. I shot many photos that I didn’t edit yet but the photo in this post is a nice close up shot that I took with my Tamron 70-300mm lens. I also edited the image a bit. I cropped the image, added a lens vignette effect so that your eyes are more focussed on the bird, and I played with the contrast values because the original had … Continue reading Baby Chicken

Pigeon On A Street Light

Dennis

Above is a shot that I took in 2016 when I saw this pigeon on a street light. I never really decided to upload it because I didn’t really like it due to some issues. But just out of boredom, I edited some of my older images today and decided to try out black and white. This did really hide some of the issues I saw with the image, for the example the fact that it had very boring colours. But as I said often on my blog, and as many other photographers featured out for themselves as well, black … Continue reading Pigeon On A Street Light

Grey Goose

Dennis

I found this photo of a grey goose in my library. During the warm seasons it’s quite easy to find them. Outside of the city they are often on fields or near water. But also in the city it’s possible to find them, for example in parks or near ponds. I don’t have many photos of this bird species on my blog and thought I upload this one to my grey goose category. I do already have 112 posts in my birds category, it’s funny because when I started with photography, I did not expect that I would take so … Continue reading Grey Goose

Taking it Easy

Dennis

I thought I share one of my photos again. As you might have noticed, I didn’t do that very often recently. The main reason is that autumn starts and me and my friends, we are completely in PC gaming mood right now. When I spend time with my friends in computer games, I don’t want to spend extra time doing other things on the PC. That means I am currently not in the mood to spend additional hours to edit pictures or uploading them. Also, this autumn and winter I will probably try to work off my backlog of photos. … Continue reading Taking it Easy

Grey Heron Video And Photo

Dennis

In this post I show you a photo of a grey heron (Ardea cinerea) again, but this time also a video as I basically promised in another post. Talking about the photo I must say that I am not happy with the quality, but often my 300mm lens is not enough and also in this case I had to crop heavily again. Anyway, photography is mainly about the subject and I am happy when I can get one of these shots, even if I have to crop. I also filmed the video with my 300mm lens, it’s a bit difficult … Continue reading Grey Heron Video And Photo
