The photo above was shot somewhere at the coast of Timmendorfer Strand or Niendorf at the Baltic Sea. The photo was almost completely white due to overexposure but I shoot in RAW and that often allows me to fix the … Continue reading Baltic Sea Rocky Beach
Outside of the city Lübeck, we have a very beautiful place called the Brodtener Ufer (Brodten shore, Brodten steep coast). It’s a 4 km (2.5 miles) stretched steep coast that is part of the Lübeck bay. The steep coast is … Continue reading Bay of Lübeck – Brodtener Steep Coast
Today I took the train to Timmendorfer Strand because I wanted to hike to Travemünde, from where I did take the train back home. It was a 12 km hike and I planned this because the route is pretty interesting as there is a long stretch of steep coast on the way. But before that point is reached, there is of course a long stretch of sandy beach, and that is where I messed up my camera. No, the camera is still working but it seems as if I do have a transparent dust spot in the viewfinder of my … Continue reading Looks Like I Have A Dust Spot In The D7100 Viewfinder
Today I shot a photo of my cat Shyna with my Tamron 70-300 lens. It’s usually the lens that I use when I try to take photos of birds outside, but I noticed several times that it also can be very well used to take portraits. My cat did sleep in her small basket and I thought it would make a great photo, but she noticed it and woke up, but I like the photo anyway. I applied one of the filters in Analog Efex Pro 2, you can get it bundled with other cool preset tools if you download … Continue reading Shyna Portrait

Above you can see a picture that I shot weeks ago, it’s a gull. I used my 70-300mm Tamron lens and cropped the picture even further because I wanted people to pay attention to the head, mainly because I like the beautiful red/black beak. Apart from that, I generally like close-up shots because that allows us to see some details. It’s very easy to say that this bird is a gull, but if you are interested to find out what kind of gull it is, the identification can be tricky for beginning bird photographers. The thing is, black-headed gulls can … Continue reading Adult Black-Headed Gull In Winter Plumage
