Above you can see a photo I took yesterday. You can see the Trave River on the photo. The tower on the photo is a gas holder of the gas works in Lübeck. This tower was built in 1954 but they restored the tower in 2005. You can see the tower from several directions and districts. Continue reading Trave River And Gas Holder Architecture
I also do now enjoy to take photos of objects. I took a photo of the red ball that we use to play with Billy, the dog of my mother. I will definitely take more photos of objects, because this is fun too and you never know if you need some of the photos for related articles or so. I was attracted by the red colour when I saw the red ball on the red bench. Continue reading Red Ball, Red Background

Here I will show you the original and the cropped photo of the water pump in our garden and the water jet, you need to click on the images to enlarge them. Continue reading Water Pump In Our Garden
Here I will show you one photo that I really like. It’s a close-up photo of a random plant branch that I found on my way when I was walking outside yesterday. I didn’t edit the image apart from resizing. There are no improvements made, this is basically how the photo came out of the camera. I really love the blurry background and that only the branch with the small blossoms are in focus. I like the bokeh or depth of field effect in the background and I shot this with the focal length of the lens changed to 105mm. … Continue reading Random Plant Photo
When I went outside in the morning today, the first thing I tested was to zoom to 105mm. I saw a traffic light and zoomed in. It’s not a big zoom lens but there is a range you can play with. For the start it is really enough because I come much closer to subjects now. Here is the photo… Continue reading Traffic Light, Lens Zoom Test 105mm
