Old Daisy Photo


I’d like to upload some of my older photos from time to time. When I say old, I mean photos in this case that I have taken before I purchased my first DSLR camera. I remember the time when my blog was just a year old and how I was totally amazed about my new 50 dollar Medion point and shoot camera, damn my English was much worse at that time. When I got my DSLR, I forgot about the folders full of photos taken with my previous camera. It’s too sad to forget about the old photos, I really … Continue reading Old Daisy Photo

Chicken Close-Up


I mentioned already a few times that my mother and her husband hold several chickens in their garden. I like the chickens a lot, they are really funny and they have their own big lawn where they will follow you everywhere if they trust you.

Bee On A Yellow Plant


I find it quite difficult to take close-up shots of small insects with my 18-105mm kit lens. Mainly because it’s not a macro lens and because the minimum focus distance of 0.45 meters, but I definitely learned how to get around it and how to take decent close-up photos with the Nikon 18-105mm kit lens without additional equipment. So, I’ve been in the garden again today, and usually when I am there, I take my camera with me. I spotted some bees on a yellow flower, and the image in this post is one of the photos that I could … Continue reading Bee On A Yellow Plant

Tuxedo Beauty


I always like to take photos with my cat, and I think the one I show you with this post is really cool as it is basically a close-up portrait. She likes to hop on chairs, and I have this kitchen chair where she can go all crazy, because it’s just an old one, the fabric is very solid and everything else is metal anyway. I’d say it’s not my chair anymore, she claimed it already. Good for me too, because I could take the portrait in this post. Continue reading Tuxedo Beauty
