Here is a snapshot I took a while ago when I hiked through the Schellbruch area. It’s a nature reserve in our city and a really beautiful place. As I mentioned in the past, this is also a nice area to take bird photos because there are lots of them each season. But in this case here, I shot the photo because sometimes I like the paths I walk.

The Schellbruch area in Lübeck is always interesting, mainly because it’s a bird paradise, which means it’s also a paradise for those who want to try to photograph birds. But if I go there, I don’t always go there to … Continue reading Schellbruch Swamp
The recent WordPress Photo Challenge is about ambience, and I thought one of the photos that I shot during a hike through the Schellbruch area in Lübeck would fit. I shot the photo during golden hour time and everything appeared orange and red. But to be honest, I even boosted this a bit further with Lightroom and Color Efex Pro 4. It almost looks as if someone painted it, but I like that. Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Ambience
Here is a photo of an African sacred ibis that I found during a hike through the Schellbruch.

Above you can see a photo that I have chosen for the recent WordPress Photo Challenge. I took the photo during my hike through the Schellbruch, because there is a small and beautiful village where people have their own gardens and their own pier. Imagine you have your own pier at the end of your garden, and your own boat, that’s pretty cool! Talking about the photo, I am not sure if it was a good idea to focus on the background, maybe I should have focused on the pier, but I just recently discovered a better way to focus … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Edge
Some hiking trails are so beautiful that I like to take photos of them. Above you can see a photo that I took during my hike through the Schellbruch Area in Lübeck. I was sadly running in the sun direction and there was too much front light, and since the lightning was frontal, my lens hood was no help. Anyway, I could fix the photo a little bit in Lightroom, although the front light is still visible, but now it looks like a cool effect or intentional. To avoid the whole problem, it’s usually better not to go hike in … Continue reading Beautiful Schellbruch Hiking Trail
