After 900 Shots I Can Say This Camera Is Impressive

April 19, 2015 Dennis

I have my D7100 since yesterday, but I didn’t really do much with it yesterday apart from trying buttons and reading a little bit in the manual. I only shot my first photos in the automatic mode, I showed two of them here and here. Some hours later it was too dark to take more photos. I know, the D7100 can also be used if it is darker, but without tripod this is probably very difficult, and apart from that I have not the experience yet to do these shots. But I was very curios and excited in the evening, … Continue reading After 900 Shots I Can Say This Camera Is Impressive

Rest In Peace Schani

April 15, 2015 Dennis

Yesterday we got a bad news. One of my uncles dogs had to be put to sleep due to very bad health conditions. I always called her Schani but I think my uncle wrote the name Schany. She was so cute and we all are sad to hear that she couldn’t make it. Rest in peace Schani, I never will forget that you greeted me first when I visited my uncle. You might be in dog heaven right now, but you have your place on earth too, not only with the cute photos on my blog, but also in our … Continue reading Rest In Peace Schani

Pier in Ratzeburg

April 10, 2015April 10, 2015 Dennis

Above you see another remaining photo of the day we enjoyed in Ratzeburg last weekend. It’s a good place for people with boats as they have several connected lakes and rivers there. We used our canoe on a connected and not too far away river in Salem last year. I hope we do this again this year. It’s fun. Continue reading Pier in Ratzeburg

Sunset in Ratzeburg

April 6, 2015April 6, 2015 Dennis

Here is another photo related to our trip to Ratzeburg yesterday. The lake is called Domsee. I really like sunsets. I think this here is a pretty cool afternoon shot. It’s an astonishing image considering that my mother shot the photo with her Samsung Galaxy. Especially because she shot frontal into the sun. My Sony Xperia camera has problems in these situation even if I lower the ISO value to 100. I knew this, which is why I asked my mother to take the photo. Continue reading Sunset in Ratzeburg

First Spring Flowers

April 6, 2015April 6, 2015 Dennis

I think the ground is still quite cold. We had some warm days but also some extremely cold days over the last weeks. Yesterday I saw the flowers below. It’s a sign of spring, a little bit late, but finally it looks a little bit like spring. I saw others, but they all come late. Continue reading First Spring Flowers

Excursion to the Domsee in Ratzeburg

April 6, 2015April 6, 2015 Dennis

We had a ride yesterday and visited some places in our federal state Schleswig-Holstein. On our tour we also drove to the village called Ratzeburg. This is a small town but surrounded by much nature including several lakes. On the photo above you can see a smaller lake that is called Domsee. You see a small cathedral in the background that is probably the reason why the lake is called “Domsee”, because “Dom” is German and means something like “Church” or “Cathedral” and the ending “see” means “sea” or “lake”. There was a small bistro where we bought some scoops … Continue reading Excursion to the Domsee in Ratzeburg
