It’s already autumn for some time but the weather was pretty moderate in the last weeks. It was raining for some days but we still had some warm days. Only now, leaves turn red and starting to fall. I went outside today to walk through the gardens and saw some beautiful red leaves like the one in the picture above. I had to take the photo because I like the colors. Continue reading Autumn Colors
I thought I do a photo post about colors today. I decided to upload the picture because I like how the two colors work together. I shot the photo a while ago in my living room. I have a red curtain and in the middle, I hung up a yellow paper lantern. A year later I threw the paper lantern away because it had a lot of dust on it and then I hung up a white lantern as I still had one of these. White looked great too as a contrast to the red curtain. Today, I still have … Continue reading Yellow and Red

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.

The recent WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge wants us to point our cameras at something familiar to turn it into something else, right, it’s about abstract photography. While I didn’t take an abstract photo recently, I thought I go through my Lightroom library to see if I can participate with any photo I have taken in the past, and I knew I would find a dozen of abstract photos. Sometimes I really try to shoot an abstract scene, but at times I do also get abstract photos due to any errors, like the wrong camera settings. focussing wrong, pressing the shutter … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Abstract
Today I walked again through one of the small forests in Reinfeld, and I found a small station where you can watch birds. I actually found this place already a month ago, but it was difficult to take photos with my 18-105mm lens, because the birds are in big cages and I couldn’t get close enough with that lens. Now I have the Tamron 70-300mm lens and this allows me to get closer to all kind of subjects. But there was still the grid of the cages between me and the birds, but I noticed that the grid would basically … Continue reading Beautiful Golden Pheasant
