Extreme Dove Close-Up

Dennis

Didn’t see enough bird photos? Here is another one! The doves in the city are usually not really afraid of humans as they are used to them. The dove on the photo came pretty close to me, I zoomed in with the lens and I also cropped the outer area of the image to make the photo appear even more like a close-up shot. I think this is one image that I really like. You can see lots of details in the feathering, I like that pretty much. From distance these doves looks boring due to the grey feathering, but … Continue reading Extreme Dove Close-Up

The Henhouse

Dennis

This post here will be less about photography. I show you some snapshots of a henhouse. I tell you something that will be fun! We get chickens very soon! We get them probably by the end of the week. These will be Sussex chickens. The husband of my mother wants to hold them in the garden and he did already build a henhouse… He also got the neighbouring garden lot now. The lot fully burned down a long time ago and the owner didn’t need it anymore, there was not much left other than destruction. But the husband of my … Continue reading The Henhouse

Duck Waiting Near The Water

Dennis

Here is another shot of a duck. I have not much photos of ducks on my blog but I think this number will increase as I do really enjoy to take pictures of birds with the new camera. By the way, the duck on the photo should be the same as the duck on the photo I used for the recent photo challenge, both photos are taken on the same day. I did take plenty of photos near the pond. Continue reading Duck Waiting Near The Water

Bird On The Roof

Dennis

I started to enjoy taking photos of birds, I guess a tele objective would be a hell of fun. Sometimes I am lucky and the birds are very close, but the 18-105mm lens is not enough if they aren’t. Above you can see one example, I wish I could get closer to the bird no matter if the bird is too far away. Anyway, even if I am not close enough, there is something I like about this image. I did set it to black and white and darkened the image a lot. Continue reading Bird On The Roof

Duck In Motion

Dennis

The latest WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is about motion. I took several photos of ducks and other birds when I tested my new camera days ago. I think one of the does really fit to the motto of the recent photo challenge. The photo I will show you in this post is my choice because you can clearly see the swimming duck in motion due to the waves in the water behind the duck. I hope you like my entry to the recent photo challenge too. You can also click on the image to see the larger file. Continue reading Duck In Motion
