Somewhere


Above is a photo that I shot somewhere in Lübeck during my hikes. I like the image because it’s somehow framed on a minimalist way. It’s just the beautiful green field in the foreground and a village or district in the background. It’s maybe the line that divides both that makes me like the image. The sky was almost plain blue, but I edited it on a way that you can see the clouds because the plain color was boring. I edited the image weeks ago, but I believe the clouds came through when I lowered the highlights, maybe because … Continue reading Somewhere

Thuringia Landscape


I was browsing through my old photo folders and found the image above that was shot in Thuringia, probably with the phone or point-and-shoot camera. I did edit the image just a little bit because there have been some issues that I didn’t like. I gave the image a bit more structure and changed the sky color just a little bit. I hope you like the image. You can find a few other photos of Thuringia on my blog. Continue reading Thuringia Landscape

Black And White Landscape Photo


Above you can see a photo that I shot outside of Lübeck, to be more exact around Bad Schwartau. I liked the landscape, the tree, the field and the little hunting outpost that is visible. However, the resulting photo was bad because there was too much haze in the photo. A bit of haze is good but this was too much and made the image look kinda flat and I didn’t want to use a digital de-haze filter because I thought a black and white effect could look good. The idea was that it would add contrast, it would make … Continue reading Black And White Landscape Photo

Along The River


Here is a photo that I shot in May 2015, oh how time flies. The photo was shot one month after I got my first DSLR. At that time I pressed the shutter button like a crazy person, because all that was so new to me and I wanted try this camera, to learn how it works. However, I didn’t like the photo at first, but I started to edit it, to see if I can change that. Before you could barely differentiate between the green colors in the photo, but I changed it so that you can actually differentiate … Continue reading Along The River

Bad Schwartau Landscape


Here is a random snapshot that I took during my hike through Bad Schwartau. The day was cold and it was quite foggy, but I removed the haze in Photoshop as it was too much. The sky looked boring even after decreasing haze, and I came up with the idea to add a gradual filter to make the sky look darker, as if there would be an upcoming storm or something. I think the image doesn’t look too bad now, there is something I like about it, I think I like that it looks like there is upcoming bad weather. Continue reading Bad Schwartau Landscape
