As I mentioned in my previous post, I have a new lens, the Nikon 40mm Micro. When the lens arrived, I couldn’t wait to unbox it and attached the lens immediately. I wondered what I could photograph first. I mainly want to use it for small things, and then I looked into my wallet and found some coins, 1 Euro and 50 cents. I did put them on my desk and shot my first photo with this lens. Not too bad for the first one I think. Continue reading First Test Shot With Coins
I purchased the AF-S DX Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G lens and got it today. Main reason is that I often noticed how I have difficulties to focus close with my other lenses. Because of the minimum focus distance, I couldn’t get up-close to smaller objects. I like to take photos of small things and sometimes I need product phots that fit to articles I write. This can be close-up photos of cables, plugs, logos on products and so on. I didn’t count how often it was impossible for me to take a certain photo, I just can tell you it happened … Continue reading A New Lens to Get Closer
Above is also one of my favorite meals. And it’s a simple one, which doesn’t mean that it isn’t tasty. It’s potato puree with spinach and fried eggs. A fairly cheap meal. I often eat this when I want to put more bank notes into my piggy bank than planned. And I don’t feel bad about it because as said, it’s delicious. I love eggs, and I love spinach and potatoes. It makes you full and happy, and it’s nutrient-rich. Continue reading Simple But Tasty
I didn’t upload food related photos for a while and thought I do this now. The picture in this post was shot with my mothers phone, and she prepared the food as well and we ate it together. I like roast potatoes a lot. This time we had some uncommon ingredients, like beans, onions and tomatoes. It’s at least uncommon with roast potatoes, because people either eat it with eggs, spinach or Spreewald gherkins and other variations. It was creative and tasty nonetheless.

The image above was edited to the point that it doesn’t have a lot in common anymore with the original. When I saw the image in my library, I was pretty unhappy and almost wanted to delete it because the colors were dull. As I often preach on my blog, I like to find out what I can do with images that are not of best quality. This can be about all kind of problems, like overblown highlights, dull colors, bad cropping and what not. If you have nothing to lose, you can try all kind of tricks and effects … Continue reading Kitty Villain
Here is a photo that I shot yesterday. There is a pond in one of the parks and I found wild gooses and they came pretty close. So, I managed it to take some close-up photos. I also saw fledglings that I could photograph. I will upload these photos later or another day. I also had a bit of small talk with strangers who watches the birds too. I even chatted with another photographer. Continue reading Wild Goose Close-Up
