Since everything is grey outside, and as I am not very inspired currently, I thought I take a look at my photo folders and upload a few older ones. Here is a photo I shot last summer or so, it is a beautiful narrow alley, we have many of them in the city centre of Lübeck, but to find them, you must know where they are. Some of them are very hidden, others not. Continue reading Beautiful Narrow Alley
The recent WordPress Photo Challenge is about change. When I think about changes, a lot would come to my mind, but then I found a photo in my folders that I shot last year, it’s a photo about two big changes, the divided Germany, and also the German reunification. I will show you remaining pieces of the wall that divided East and West Germany. I shot the photo somewhere between the federal states Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, not far away from our city Lübeck that was on west side of the border, but pretty close to it. As our city was … Continue reading First The Bad Change, Then The Good Change
Today I decided on impulse to walk to the Schellbruch again, it’s quite a long hike with 14 miles, but it’s worthwhile as there are many interesting things on the route through Lübeck. I didn’t even upload all the images I shot the last time I was there, but it’s still a good idea to take new photos, because I like it if I have folders I can choose from. The photo above is a new one I shot today, the weather report said it would be a cloudy day, but not rainy. It was a completely different colour setting … Continue reading 14 Miles Hike Again, Enjoying The Schellbruch
Here is a photo that I shot early in the morning somewhere in my city. What I like about nights and mornings is that everything is so calm, due to the fact that just a tiny amount of people drive their cars through the streets. It’s not that I dislike daytime, but a calm morning or night is very relaxing, something I can enjoy. Continue reading Good Morning City
I don’t take much photos of people, although I would like to experience people photography too, but that is not easy in Germany due to strict privacy protection laws, the portrait rights and the personality rights. I could explain that but in short, in Germany you can not take a picture of a stranger without permission. But it’s more complex than that. There are several exceptions, as far as I know you can for example take pictures of public figures or so-called very important persons if they are in the public, but even with public figures there are situations where … Continue reading My Opinion About People And Street Photography In Germany
The photo above was shot before the one with the ship light trails that I uploaded yesterday. I want to store this one as well another version. The photo is taken in Germany at the Baltic Sea in Travemünde at dusk. I thought the photo is a little bit uneven, I tried to adjust it horizontally with Lightroom but no matter what I did, it always looks somewhat uneven. This either might be a visual illusion due to the uneven promenade, or that is lens bending (although I experienced that does only happen at the wide end of my lens). … Continue reading Lighthouse Travemünde
