It’s already autumn for some time but the weather was pretty moderate in the last weeks. It was raining for some days but we still had some warm days. Only now, leaves turn red and starting to fall. I went outside today to walk through the gardens and saw some beautiful red leaves like the one in the picture above. I had to take the photo because I like the colors. Continue reading Autumn Colors
I thought I do a photo post about colors today. I decided to upload the picture because I like how the two colors work together. I shot the photo a while ago in my living room. I have a red curtain and in the middle, I hung up a yellow paper lantern. A year later I threw the paper lantern away because it had a lot of dust on it and then I hung up a white lantern as I still had one of these. White looked great too as a contrast to the red curtain. Today, I still have … Continue reading Yellow and Red
This photo was shot on the same day as the one in my previous post. I walked over a small Christmas market with different amusement rides and noticed the lights hanging at a ceiling with mirrors. I remember I liked the beautiful warm red color in the scene and decided to take the photo. Continue reading Lights
This was a strawberry cake that we ate last month when my mother celebrated her birthday.

And of course, the cake was yummy. Continue reading Strawberry Cake
Here is a photo that I shot a couple of days before Christmas in 2015. At that time I was in Reinfeld, a small town close to Lübeck. I was walking through the streets of this town and found a christmas tree ball on a fence post at someones front yard. I shot that photo with my 18-105mm kit lens but when I saw the picture on my computer, I noticed myself in the reflection and was unhappy about that. Three years later I like that picture. It’s funny. As someone who likes to maintain a certain degree of anonymity, … Continue reading That’s me, the reflection…
Here is another shot that I tried out yesterday. I saw the big wheel in one of the Christmas market areas and thought this would make a great photo. I didn’t want to have the Christmas market stands on the picture or any people, that means I looked for a good angle. I basically just wanted to have the dark sky and the colourful big wheel on the photo. I think I achieved that, and I like the angle. I shot the photo handheld at 1/30 second, f/4.8 and ISO 1600.
