This Is The Dog You Don’t Want To Meet


Ok, let me be honest, the title of this post is almost click bait, obviously I am still alive, but I thought the title would be funny. Anyway, the title still fits somehow, because this dog really didn’t like me. There is a fence in the photo, and there is this path I take when I want to get back into the town after I walked through the nature over fields and through small forests, however, this dog didn’t want me to get back into the town. The dog started to bark when I approached the street, then it almost … Continue reading This Is The Dog You Don’t Want To Meet

Hike Into The May


As I’ve been mainly in the city Lübeck the last two weeks, it was cool to see how things have grown in the nature of Reinfeld now that I am back for some weeks. Today was the first May, and I thought a hike into the May would be a nice idea. Look at the beautiful bushes in the photo, and all the blossom. I heard a loud hum from the bush, a collective noise caused by all the hard-working bees. Apart from that, May smells good, but since it gets warmer, I shouldn’t forget something to drink on my … Continue reading Hike Into The May

This Cute Forest Dweller Did Let Me Take A Photo


My uncle survived the much feared brain surgery in the hospital, the time after the surgery was a bit difficult due to several post-operative symptoms, but now there is progress every day and I hope this will continue. It was a busy time for us all, so that I didn’t want to update my blog. He is now back at home, and the doctors said it’s unlikely but he could still get some bad symptoms like epileptic seizures, and that’s why I am at his home again in Reinfeld, just to see how things go. I will be there for … Continue reading This Cute Forest Dweller Did Let Me Take A Photo

Weekly Photo Challenge: Abstract


The recent WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge wants us to point our cameras at something familiar to turn it into something else, right, it’s about abstract photography. While I didn’t take an abstract photo recently, I thought I go through my Lightroom library to see if I can participate with any photo I have taken in the past, and I knew I would find a dozen of abstract photos. Sometimes I really try to shoot an abstract scene, but at times I do also get abstract photos due to any errors, like the wrong camera settings. focussing wrong, pressing the shutter … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Abstract

Experimental Moon Photo


It’s nighttime and the night sky is cloud-free, the moon visible, and I thought I try to take a picture. I did set up my tripod, the D7100 and my Tamron 70-300mm lens. I activated the 1.3 crop mode of my D7100, then I disabled the vibration reduction mode of the lens as I wanted to use my tripod anyway. Apart from that, I enabled RAW and JPG fine, to see if I can get a little bit more quality out of the RAW file. I did set the camera manually to ISO 100, f/10 and 1/200 of a second. … Continue reading Experimental Moon Photo

Shyna And My Uncles Family


The above shot was taken during the time I was living in my uncle’s house to help him. My cat Shyna needed a lot of time to get used to the temporary new home, but at some point she started to explore all the rooms, but she enjoyed it the most if nobody apart from us both were there. This changed later on, she started to explore the rooms even if people have been there, but she never seemed to enjoy it as much as if none of the other family members have been there. I can tell you that … Continue reading Shyna And My Uncles Family
