Bird On The Roof


I saw this bird on my hiking tour through our city when I was trying to find interesting things to photograph. You really get more attentive if you go out often with you camera, I just start to notice more little details. I maybe would not have noticed the bird on the roof but I do now check out everything around me more thorough I think. I think this is a common blackbird, doing a break on the roof. I couldn’t get very close to the bird while zooming in, but today I noticed at home that this is again … Continue reading Bird On The Roof

Squirrel On A Tree Branch


Here is another photo I took two weeks ago or so. I think the photo is good enough to upload it but overall I am not satisfied with the quality. The squirrel was too far away and I had to crop the photo to get closer to the squirrel. Cropping does often work very well but I think the image in this post is a little too noisy. I tried to reduce noise with Lightroom but then it looked too blurred. However, it’s not too bad, you can at least see the squirrel very well. Continue reading Squirrel On A Tree Branch

Common Blackbird Photo


It’s some weeks ago when I took the photo you see in this post, I actually thought that I need to delete the image. The photo was bad as I couldn’t zoom in enough to show the bird but today I noticed that the photo was sharp enough even after cropping with Photoshop. The result is that I can now basically show you the photo as if I would have had a tele lens on my camera. I think the bird should be a common blackbird, they have orange beaks and orange rings around the eyes. Continue reading Common Blackbird Photo

Bunny With Blue Eyes


My half-brother is here on a visit and I mentioned it anywhere else, he has all kind of small animals like mice, bunnies and so. This time he didn’t come for a visit without his bunnies. He did let them run in our garden, I thought this would be crazy even if the garden is fenced, but he said he would do that at home in his garden too. However, I had my camera with me and shot all kind of photos. As always I have stored them in my folders and will upload them over time as I prefer … Continue reading Bunny With Blue Eyes

Squirrels, Masters of Balance


With this post I want to show you some other photos of the same squirrel I uploaded some days ago. I prefer to upload the most funny photos of a set later, so, with this post you see the last photos of that squirrel. In the other post the squirrel was on the ground, but some seconds later it jumped on a fence and I had to react immediately. Although I discovered already many advanced settings of my D7100, situations come up where you don’t have time to adjust anything. At some point I will probably learn to do this … Continue reading Squirrels, Masters of Balance

Squirrel Undercover


Taking a photo of a squirrel, that was something I always wanted to do. They are like undercover agents, they operate in the hidden and do only come out to show you that they also could get a job in a circus. Jumping from tree to tree, climbing all verticals, crazy little acrobats. Running through the undergrowth taking all obstacles. They are not only little champions, they are also cute. I never had luck to get a decent photo of a squirrel with my point and shoot or smartphone camera. Now with the DSLR and faster shutter speed, the chance … Continue reading Squirrel Undercover
