Highland Cattle


Here is a photo that I shot a long time ago with a potato phone camera. I am no expert with cattle but I think the animals in the photo are Galloway Cattle. You won’t see them often here where I live. That’s probably why I wanted to take a snapshot back then. They look pretty funny, almost like Chewbacca from Star Wars, hehe. Edit: Vanda told me in the comments that she knows them as “Highland Cattle”. So, I looked at some pictures with Google Image Search and I think she is right. I might have been wrong and … Continue reading Highland Cattle

Yellow and Red


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

Smiley


Here is another old photo. Also shot with my Sony Xperia P back then. I think the scribbled smiley isn’t impressive but funny. But I probably liked how grungy the wall looked like. The photo however only looked great in black and white because it made the wall textures become more apparent. It actually looked a lot more grungy in black and white. Continue reading Smiley

Lübeck in Black and White


Here is an older photo. I shot this photo of Lübeck in 2013 with my Sony Xperia P phone. Honestly, the colored photo looked dull and I decided to try different black and white settings. I like this a lot in black and white. As I mentioned quite often in the past, I also like to upload my older photos that I shot with phones or point-and-shoot cameras because they’re not exactly bad. I want to have a place for them too and don’t like it if I don’t make use of them. So, that’s why I share older photos … Continue reading Lübeck in Black and White

Jumping Squirrel


Saw two squirrels today and one of them jumped from one branch to another. I took a snapshot but it was very blurry and not a good photo. Unsharp photos look better when converted to black and white, because blurriness is then less apparent. So, that’s why I converted the image to black and white. It’s not the best photo but it’s the first time I was able to take a photo of a squirrel in action… Continue reading Jumping Squirrel
