Dennis

Who doesn’t like the moon? I always wanted to take pictures of the moon. I think it would be very well possible with a nice tele lens and my D7100, but since I still only have my 18-105mm Nikon kit lens, it’s hard to do that. However, I tried it anyway and the photo above is the result, but to be honest, I had to edit the photo because here is how far away I would be otherwise… I first wanted to delete the image as I thought “Damn, that is not really interesting, I am so far away”, but … Continue reading Make Impossible Things Possible.

Dennis

I mentioned several times now in my blog that it’s impossible to get real macro photos with the Nikon 18-105mm lens, however, in this post I will write down how you can get decent insect close-up shots with this lens, it’s possible but not without limits.

Learning A Few Things About Long Exposure During My First Attempt To Capture Lightnings

Dennis

I complained several times on my blog that the start of the summer in Germany was rather autumn-like, not because I dislike autumn, I am in fact a big fan of this kind of climate, but it’s not really the best weather for photography which is why I was unhappy with it.
