Experimental Architecture Photo

November 15, 2017 Dennis

I did spot a building that I found pretty interesting. Our city has a lot of old buildings and I like that a lot, but there are less modern buildings and when I find one, it’s special to me. I think that’s what I thought when I shot the photo you can see in this post. I liked it that there are large windows, especially because I noticed the reflections. I am a great fan of reflections, it’s just beautiful and sometimes even confusing. I stylized the image and I am happy with the result. What do you think?

Bi-Colored Edit

November 14, 2017September 29, 2019 Dennis

Above you can see a photo that I shot somewhere at the Wakenitz river in Lübeck. The original image was fine but not too interesting, and when that is the case I often try to experiment with images. I did try different things in Lightroom with the Color Efex Pro 4 plugin that you can get as a free download with the Google Nik Collection. I found a filter called “bi-colored user-defined”. It’s some kind of a graduated filter, you can choose a color for the top of the image and a color for the bottom. I used green at … Continue reading Bi-Colored Edit

Beautiful Big Wheel

November 23, 2016October 1, 2019 Dennis

Here is another shot that I tried out yesterday. I saw the big wheel in one of the Christmas market areas and thought this would make a great photo. I didn’t want to have the Christmas market stands on the picture or any people, that means I looked for a good angle. I basically just wanted to have the dark sky and the colourful big wheel on the photo. I think I achieved that, and I like the angle. I shot the photo handheld at 1/30 second, f/4.8 and ISO 1600.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Circle

January 3, 2016September 29, 2019 Dennis

The WordPress photo challenge from last friday came with the motto Circle, and I thought the flag of the European Union would fit to the challenge theme. The reason is obvious, the symbol of the flag is a circle of stars. The photo maybe fits a little bit too perfectly to the theme, and my entry appears less creative in my opinion, but I think I could use the image for other topics in the future and it’s great to have photos of flags uploaded to my blog. I like the idea of an association of states that warrants or … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Circle

Just Another Interesting Flower

April 24, 2014 Dennis

The shot above is one that I took two weeks ago. I can´t get enough of the flower photos. They are beautiful on their own and a nice subject for photos. As always I am not sure about the name of this flower. I should start to study some of them. But as often, I guess some of you experts know the name. I really like this one but I am not happy with the results of the shot. There was wind and my digital camera does not have a very fast auto focus. Anyway, the plant is beautiful.
