I Got The Manfrotto 055XPRO3


I mentioned it some days ago, I asked a local store to order me the Manfrotto 055XPRO3 tripod. Today I got the email that the order arrived and I picked the tripod up. Arrived at home I couldn’t await to unbox the tripod and Shyna was very curious too, as always if I unbox something new. The tripod was a little bit tricky to understand due to all the features, but after a while I got how this and that works. My first impression is that this thing is pretty steadfast. It was a little bit of a pain to … Continue reading I Got The Manfrotto 055XPRO3

Experimental Kitty Photo In Black And White


This is a photo of Shyna that I shot in the first weeks after purchasing the D7100. I did all kind of test or experimental shots to get used to the camera. The photo was not that good with colours and decided to change the image to black and white. I couldn’t remove the distracting highlights or overexposed areas on the fur, that’s the point when I usually try out black and white and it often works well. It’s not that black and white does remove highlights or overexposed areas, it’s just less noticeable once you apply black and white … Continue reading Experimental Kitty Photo In Black And White

Bird On The Roof


I saw this bird on my hiking tour through our city when I was trying to find interesting things to photograph. You really get more attentive if you go out often with you camera, I just start to notice more little details. I maybe would not have noticed the bird on the roof but I do now check out everything around me more thorough I think. I think this is a common blackbird, doing a break on the roof. I couldn’t get very close to the bird while zooming in, but today I noticed at home that this is again … Continue reading Bird On The Roof

Yellow Flowers


I didn’t post any flower photos for a long time. There are several reasons, it took some time this year until I saw the first ones but then I got my first DSLR. The kit lens is a problem when it comes to flower photography, I don’t want to say that you can not take pictures of flowers with it, but I like to get extremely close to the flower and that is not really possible. The photo above is shot with my kit lens and I wouldn’t be able to get much closer, it would be impossible to focus. … Continue reading Yellow Flowers

Refurbishment of the Churches


This photo post is inspired by a sentence that a fellow blogger used in one of her posts. I have read a photo post of Taswegian where she said that she saw lots of construction going on in one of the streets she walked through. I commented there that we have a lot of construction in our city Lübeck right now too. Then I remembered that I might even have a photo and found one in my photo folders. You see the photo in this post. On the left side of the photo you see the St. Petri Church and … Continue reading Refurbishment of the Churches
