Our Garden Chicken


As I mentioned often, my mother and her husband have chickens in the garden and they are quite funny and good suppliers of bio eggs. I thought I upload a photo again of one of the chickens. I have way too many photos of them, and I really need to upload them over time too. Believe it or not, I think chickens are cute too, I like them so much because they follow me everywhere when I visit the garden. They are very trusting and social.

About Kit Lenses And A Swan Close-Up Photo


I found this swan photo while I browsed through my Lightroom catalog. I shot the photo by the end of the last year when I only owned the Nikon 18-105mmm kit lens and when I was starting out with DSLR photography. The photo was taken at 105mm but the swan was close to the waterside. I like this close-up shot, I just cropped the image slightly and sharpened the image a bit. Even if it’s not my only lens anymore, I won’t forget how the Nikon 18-105mm helped me to learn about my camera and what focal lengths actually mean … Continue reading About Kit Lenses And A Swan Close-Up Photo

Bird In The Garden


Time for a bird photo again. Now in the city I have less chances to take photos of birds. I mainly find pigeons, crows and common blackbirds, but sometimes I also find other birds in the bushes, in the parks, outside of the districts or in the nature around the city. As my mother has a garden, there is another chance to take photos of some special birds. The photo in this post was taken in her garden, I think it was an old house sparrow. Anyway, I still miss the country, it was much easier to find birds in … Continue reading Bird In The Garden

Common Chaffinch On A Branch


Above you can see a photo of a Common Chaffinch. I believe I shot the photo at the same day when I recorded a video of a Common Chaffinch, it’s probably even the same bird but shot in another perspective. Sometimes it can be challenging to take photos of birds, especially if they are not at eye level, which is why the perspective of the photo in this post is not so good. Anyway, the photo is also not too bad, and I wanted to have the photo in my collection of bird photos. Continue reading Common Chaffinch On A Branch

One Chicken of Many Chickens


The family came together today for a barbecue. The weather was perfect, we met each other in my mother’s garden. It was a great day, especially for my uncle, who seemed to enjoy it a lot. I did take the chance to speak with everyone in the family, and meanwhile I also shot some photos of flowers and birds in the garden. It was also fun to see our small chicken farm again, and of course, I had to photograph one of our chickens. I do probably repeat myself if I say that they are funny, I guess I said … Continue reading One Chicken of Many Chickens

Beautiful Green Woodpecker


I have a friend in Austria, we sometimes chat through the gaming platform Steam as we both are interested in PC games, but that’s not the only topic we talk about. Today, she told me that her father took a photo of a green woodpecker, and she asked me if I would like to show the photo on my blog, as she knows that I like to post a lot of animal photos, and also bird photos since some time. I like the photo, and I am happy that I am allowed to share the photo as I never took … Continue reading Beautiful Green Woodpecker
