A Flying Seagull
Not much to say about this one. Just a photo of a seagull. I shot the photo quite some time ago but found it now and uploaded it. Continue reading A Flying Seagull

Funny Cormorant
Here is a quick photo upload without much backstory. I took this photo one summer during my hikes. It’s a photo of a cormorant. We have many of them in and around our city, which is why I already have a few photos of those birds on my blog, as you can see. But I also photographed other birds. Continue reading Funny Cormorant
Blue Peafowl
Here is a photo of a Blue Peafowl (Pavo cristatus). I shot the photo in 2016 when I lived in Reinfeld for a while. The photo looks quite abstract, of course, because it’s a close-up photo of a quite eccentric-looking bird. The photo is not so sharp because it was shot directly through a wire fence and that is also why it looks a little bit foggy. But I still like the photo. Continue reading Blue Peafowl
Duck and Water Reflection
I found this photo in my library and thought it’s a pretty clean close-up shot. I had to push the shadows quite a bit and did other minor adjustments but it was very minimal editing as the RAW file was already pretty good. I am amazed that I haven’t uploaded it earlier, it’s sitting in my library since 2016. But with the number of photos I shot, it’s not a wonder that I skip some for a while. I already have quite a few photos of ducks on my blog. But do you like this particular one? Continue reading Duck and Water Reflection
Parus major
I found the bird at the top some days ago in a garden area. It’s a great tit bird (Parus major) and it’s not the first time I photographed this species. In German, we call this bird “Kohlmeise”. It’s a beautiful bird and I think the photo I shot is ok, except that I find the background a little bit distracting but you can’t always get it perfect. What do you think? Continue reading Parus major
Common Buzzard
Some days ago when I was hiking, I spotted a bird of prey far up in the air. It was flying really high, in circles, like 100 meters or 200 meters high maybe. I couldn’t see with my eyes what kind of bird it might be. Also, I know the limitations of the 300mm focal length of my Tamron lens. I know that when I take a photo in these conditions, I will need to do a heavy crop. But in the end, photography is also about curiosity. You simply want to find out what kind of bird it is, … Continue reading Common Buzzard
