Weekly Photo Challenge: Illumination


I don’t know what got into me. But I really didn´t have any idea how I can participate in the Weekly Photo Challenge with the Motto Illumination. But then I found a blue LED at home and asked my self if I could use it for the Weekly Photo Challenge. I searched for more stuff and found a transparent vase which I filled with some water. I did put the vase on two books with a white paper on top. I did place the books so that there is still room between both books because I wanted the LED under … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Illumination

Dont bite my Hand


Photo created in autumn 2012. We visited Travemünde near Lübeck at that time. It is a place on the Baltic Sea. As you can see, there are many people who enjoy the fresh air on the sea.

If you throw some of this stuff in there, it will not take a long time until you see several Shrimps trying to get their part of food. Shrimps are pretty funny friends.

Both, … Continue reading Beautiful Rivers in Salem

The Pink Ladybug


This ladybug did sit on the finger of a friend last summer. And I had to shoot a photo. I recovered the photo in one of my folders today and decided to edit the photo. I didn´t like the original image and added some focal blur and decreased the color saturation in the area while I kept and enhanced the color of the ladybug so that the insect stays in focus. I decided to colorize the ladybug from red to pink so that the image looks somewhat unnatural and funny. The result of the last change is not that good … Continue reading The Pink Ladybug
