Vorboten

Nach und nach bereiten die Geschäfte ihr Angebot auf Weihnachten vor – so wie hier in Flensburg. Es fehlt eigentlich nur noch das passende Winterwetter.

Little by little the shops are preparing their offer for Christmas – like here in Flensburg. The only thing missing is the right winter weather.

Shaky Stars

Please take this as a lesson of what not to do.

A while back Friedhelm, Dorothy and I went to Hornitos, a very small town in the California foothills, to do some night photography. Near the end of the evening I attempted a star trail. Grouping 46 30 second shots, with an interesting result. Note to self, get a intervelometer and use your sturdy tripod so you don’t shake the camera and end up with a interesting photo.

Bitte nehmen Sie dies als eine Lektion, was Sie nicht tun sollen.

Vor einiger Zeit gingen Friedhelm, Dorothy und ich nach Hornitos, einer sehr kleinen Stadt im kalifornischen Vorgebirge, um Nachtaufnahmen zu machen. Gegen Ende des Abends versuchte ich einen Sternenpfad. Gruppieren von 46 30-Sekunden-Aufnahmen mit einem interessanten Ergebnis. Notieren Sie sich ein Intervallometer und verwenden Sie Ihr stabiles Stativ, damit Sie die Kamera nicht schütteln und ein interessantes Foto erhalten.

Winds of Life

This is a digital double expose. I used two image that I combined in post production. The first image is a typical Fall color image. I used an old Helios 44 lens which created a bubbly background. Then I used a 180mm macro lens to photograph water in a blender. I used a sound sensor connected to my camera that triggered the camera whenever I turned the blender on.

The idea is that the wind moves the leaves and branches and the blades move the water. The leaves are warm colored and the water cold. Different movements, warm cold color contrast and still part of the same life!

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

 

Tree Rings

As I walked around the grounds of my family’s cabin, I noticed a pile of firewood stacked up very neatly and from afar it didn’t look like anything special. However, I framed the image to only focus on the rings of the wood and I thought this picture turned out beautiful. It’s simple but it reminds me of autumn and warm fires and all things comforting during the cold seasons. Happy Fall!
