Here is a portrait of Charlie. I didn’t like the image at first because his nose was very blurry, but I tried to hide the issue by using a black and white filter and using a dark graduated filter to make one side of the face darker. I think it somehow works. Continue reading In the Dark
We sometimes have very stormy seasons in Northern Germany. Definitely not as bad as in some US States or other places with brutal natural force, but weather also got stronger here over the years. We even had tornadoes destroying whole villages, or cutting patterns through forest areas. It’s still happening infrequently, but it isn’t unusual anymore. I’ve seen two tornadoes with my own eyes, but they’ve been small and disappeared. One was visible from our district but disappeared before it could cause any damage. The other one was much larger but outside at the baltic sea, visible from the beach. … Continue reading Fallen Tree
Here is a photo of my cat Shyna. She looks a bit cheeky on the photo, but in reality my camera was just set to faster shutter speed. She was drinking water, and with the fast shutter speed I could freeze the moment where she showed the tongue. However, I didn’t like the photo in colour since it somehow had a bit too much orange in it, which means I didn’t like the illumination in my room. That’s why I converted the image to black and white. Continue reading Cheeky

The Autobahn cuts right through our city and at some points there are bridges that help pedestrians and cyclist to the other side. But in most cases it’s just an underpass and we have several of them. The photo above was shot when I got my first DSLR, and I think I was so amazed that I shot photos of all kind of things, even if it was just an underpass. That means I was probably in a very experimental mood to try out my new gear. But I noticed this picture now in my library and I think it … Continue reading Below the Autobahn
Above you can see a small alley or street in the historic district of Lübeck. It’s the most interesting district in our city because there you can still find old construction styles. In other words, you find a lot of buildings with brick stone. First I wanted to upload the photo in color, but it was shot in JPG and the image contained overblown highlights so that I decided to convert it to black and white. But that’s not bad either, because I love black and white photos and it works with the photo above as well. Continue reading Street in Lübeck
