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

Thuringia in Painted Look


A month ago or so, when I have experimented with painted looks and artsy effects, I also grabbed one of my older Thuringia photos. To be more exact, I took the one from this post. Then I also tried out all kinds of effects in Photoshop until I thought it was somehow interesting. I saved the file but didn’t find the time to upload it to my blog. So, let’s do it now… Continue reading Thuringia in Painted Look

Reinfeld during Winter


Here is a photo that I shot during a Winter in Reinfeld. It’s not the entire town but some houses near the Herrenteich pond, which is frozen and full of snow in the picture. I’ve taken a similar photo when the pond was not frozen but it’s not the same view. I hope you liked the winter picture. I wasn’t too happy with it at first but when I boosted the white colors and after cropping it a little bit better, I thought it looked fantastic. What do you think about the photo?

Lübeck Cathedral


I’ve been in the old district yesterday as I visited a store to test guitars. And when I am in or near the old district, I often see things that I like to photograph. Yesterday, it was the millpond as we call it in German (Mühlenteich). In the background on the left, you can see the Lübeck Cathedral. In the middle, you see some beautiful villas and on the right, you can see the tower of the St. Aegidien Church. I always like the view you see in the picture but yesterday it looked special because of all the algae … Continue reading Lübeck Cathedral

Minimalist Scene


This photo was shot when I was in Reinfeld. The fields of rape looked gorgeous in full flower. There was also a lot of deer. There have been moments where I didn’t trust my eyes because the head of a dear popped out of the field. But usually, I wasn’t fast enough to take the photo. But these moments were beautiful nonetheless and I really needed those moments because beside them, the reason why I was there was pretty sad as my uncle got terminal ill at that time and died later. I wouldn’t have been a help if I … Continue reading Minimalist Scene
