Windows


I found the photo above in my library. This is one of many photos that I shot when I started out with my first DSLR camera. It’s somehow funny to see your own photos years later because then you try to understand why you took a particular picture. I think when you start out, you experiment a lot, that’s the first point. I think with this picture I experimented with the angle. I am also sure that I liked the windows, our historic district has some really cool and old-looking buildings. However, the original was rather boring, because the colours … Continue reading Windows

Good Night


Tired cats do always find a place to sleep. I thought I show you a photo of my cat Shyna again. I pretty much liked the colored version, but in black and white it worked even better.

I’ve seen that with the smaller ponds surrounding it, but I’ve heard they do it with the large one too. I think it often happens in October. Continue reading Reinfeld Nature in Black and White

Black And White Cat Again


There are not enough cat photos in the internet. No matter how much there are, there will be never enough. Above is a photo of my cat Shyna that I shot sometime in 2017. The colored photo looked fine, but I was a bit unhappy with the light in the room. The photo was pretty reddish due to the fact that I had my red window blinds shut. I think I would have uploaded the colored version, but somehow it looked much better in black and white. I really love black and white photography. Continue reading Black And White Cat Again
