Footbridge in Bad Oldesloe


Here is a photo I took in Bad Oldesloe. While the colors of the original looked great, I didn’t like the heavy lens flare. I went through a couple of black and white settings until I found a vintage one that did hide most of the lens flare very well. On top of that, it transformed the photo in a very positive way. The reason why I shot the photo was that I liked the arch of the bridge from my point of view. Together with the housing in the background and the stairs, it just made me want to … Continue reading Footbridge in Bad Oldesloe

Bridge in Black and White


Here is a photo of a bridge I shot in 2015.

I thought I convert the image to black and white, because it made the atmosphere in the image look even darker than it was before. I now already have a couple of bridge photos on my blog, that’s funny because I don’t hunt to get … Continue reading Under The Bridge
