Weekly Photo Challenge: Companionable

Dennis

The image above is my entry to the Weekly Photo Challenge: Companionable. It´s a photo of my cat Shyna and she is my companion. Looks like I took the photo in a funny moment when she did stretch herself. I used my Sony Xperia P android smart phone and an app called “Fast Burst Camera Light” to take the photo. This app can do continues shots and the name burst camera hits the nail. However, I have to admit that the app does take preview photos like it happens when you capture videos. I do believe the app is just … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Companionable

Bumblebee seeking Dust on a Flower

Dennis

I had to visit to the authorities yesterday and I found this bumblebee on my way, seeking for dust on a flower. I noticed many of them but decided to go closer to take close-up shot of one of them. When I saw the images on my smart phone display, I thought the photos would be great. But arrived at home, I thought that the photo quality is not so good. But I decided to upload them anyway, because I like to have photos of insects and animals in general on my blog. But also photos of flowers. I think … Continue reading Bumblebee seeking Dust on a Flower

Daily Prompt: The Artist’s Eye

Dennis

The Daily Prompt Mission for today: “Is there a painting or sculpture you’re drawn to? What does it say to you? Describe the experience. (Or, if art doesn’t speak to you, tell us why.) Photographers, artists, poets: show us ART”. For todays Daily Prompt, I rather go the photographers route and show you ART. The photo above is not a good shot. It´s rather a snapshot. In the image you can see what my aunt painted. I took the photo in one of her rooms. I do think her paintings have potential. I love the colours and the body shape … Continue reading Daily Prompt: The Artist’s Eye

Never Mess Around With Me. I´m a Lolcat!

Dennis

The son of my mother´s husband did send me a pretty good photo of his cat. The overall quality of the image was not that great but I changed the image to black and white with Photoshop because I know that this effect can improve the quality of slighty overexposed photos. I also added a little bit more contrast and also made some gamma corrections. I think the photo is now a little bit more respectable. He caught his own cat in the right moment. His cat gave a yawn and looks like he took the photo in the right … Continue reading Never Mess Around With Me. I´m a Lolcat!

A Photo of two Sand Lizards and further Informations

Dennis

My little young cousin did catch two Sand Lizards for a short photoshoot in Salem (in North Germany). It´s one older and one younger Sand Lizard. Indeed… she did release both to the nature after taking the photos because the Sand Lizards are threatened due to the continuing endangerment of their habitats which I will explain further in this article here. But my little cousin reminds me to my own childhood. She is always on the campground in Salem with grandma and grandpa. There is a lot of nature and she´s just discovering that all in her young years like … Continue reading A Photo of two Sand Lizards and further Informations

How can I get a cat?

Dennis

Very important prologue… Some people ask “How can I get a cat” and I thought I do write about the topic and what the possibilities are. First of all I really really suggest you to read about cats before you think about getting a cat. I say this because the animal shelter are often full of animals which were set out forsaken anywhere. I do not want to say that you would do the same but please read anyway because a cat is not only fun, a cat is also demanding. I just do mention this because it is a … Continue reading How can I get a cat?
