About Kit Lenses And A Swan Close-Up Photo

Dennis

I found this swan photo while I browsed through my Lightroom catalog. I shot the photo by the end of the last year when I only owned the Nikon 18-105mmm kit lens and when I was starting out with DSLR photography. The photo was taken at 105mm but the swan was close to the waterside. I like this close-up shot, I just cropped the image slightly and sharpened the image a bit. Even if it’s not my only lens anymore, I won’t forget how the Nikon 18-105mm helped me to learn about my camera and what focal lengths actually mean … Continue reading About Kit Lenses And A Swan Close-Up Photo

Swan Photo

Dennis

Not sure when and where I shot the photo above, but I like it and wanted to upload it to my swan category. I think the water in the background is a bit distracting, sometimes water looks good in photos and sometimes not, and I think it depends on the daylight. It could also be about the angle, there is too much water visible in the photo, I think the photo would look better with a horizon (at eye level), for example with plants in the background and a bokeh. Anyway, the swan is still visible and I think the … Continue reading Swan Photo

Bird In The Garden

Dennis

Time for a bird photo again. Now in the city I have less chances to take photos of birds. I mainly find pigeons, crows and common blackbirds, but sometimes I also find other birds in the bushes, in the parks, outside of the districts or in the nature around the city. As my mother has a garden, there is another chance to take photos of some special birds. The photo in this post was taken in her garden, I think it was an old house sparrow. Anyway, I still miss the country, it was much easier to find birds in … Continue reading Bird In The Garden

Common Blackbird Photo

Dennis

Even if I uploaded already several common blackbird photos, I don’t stop to take photos of them. They are indeed common, you find them everywhere in Germany, and that means they might be boring for some, but still they are good birds to practice photography. I like the photo in this post as you can see that the bird is walking down the tree branch, I like it if you see this type of movement in a photo, because it makes the photo look lively. If you are new to my blog, you can find more bird photos if you … Continue reading Common Blackbird Photo

Common Chaffinch On A Branch

Dennis

Above you can see a photo of a Common Chaffinch. I believe I shot the photo at the same day when I recorded a video of a Common Chaffinch, it’s probably even the same bird but shot in another perspective. Sometimes it can be challenging to take photos of birds, especially if they are not at eye level, which is why the perspective of the photo in this post is not so good. Anyway, the photo is also not too bad, and I wanted to have the photo in my collection of bird photos. Continue reading Common Chaffinch On A Branch

Grey Heron In A Beautiful Forest Pond

Dennis

I shot way too many photos during my stay in Reinfeld. I stayed there from winter over spring to the summer, and it was really fantastic to see how everything changed in the course of the seasons. The winter was ok but when the colors of the spring showed up it became even more interesting, and the start of the summer was pretty awesome there. In retrospect, I would say that Reinfeld is a very beautiful place, especially in the warmer seasons. The photo in this post was shot when summer started. I was hiking through one of the forests … Continue reading Grey Heron In A Beautiful Forest Pond
