Photos are meant to be shared
Ich habe “Straßenfotografie” mal ganz wörtlich genommen, zuerst in der Altmark/Sachsen-Anhalt und dann in Braunschweig.
I took “street photography” quite literally, first in the Altmark/Saxony-Anhalt and then in Braunschweig.
Bei dieser Gegenlichtaufnahme habe ich bei der Bearbeitung mal etwas mehr gewagt. Komfortzone ade!
For this backlit shot, I was a little more daring with the processing. Goodbye comfort zone!
This gigantic bagger reminds me of a Mississippi shuffle boat, making its way through the waves. Here the shuffle wheel is at the bow of the Earth Eater, which is digging for “brown coal”. At the horizon the new time of energy generation is already appearing in the shape of wind turbines. Germany has decided to step out of coal mining within our country by 2030.
Am Sonntag bin ich mit einer kleinen Gruppe im Eyßelforst/Gifhorn gewandert und war erstaunt, wie sich die Natur in den Morgenstunden nach einer frostigen Nacht zeigt.
On Sunday I went hiking with a small group in the Eyßelforst/Gifhorn and was amazed at how nature reveals itself in the morning hours after a frosty night.
It can be very stormy at the California coast. I created this image at Piano Beach. Enjoy!
The red rocks of Sedona, Arizona are beautiful in every season.
People are always surprised at the diversity of landscape and seasons in Arizona. This image from Bartlett Lake shows a winter desert scene less than 50 miles from downtown Phoenix.
In den vergangenen Wochen bin ich immer mal wieder im Wolfsburger Umland unterwegs gewesen. Lang anhaltender Regen hatte zuerst Bäche und Flüsse über die Ufer treten lassen und Felder überschwemmt. Dann kam der Frost und hat die Natur erstarren lassen.
Over the past few weeks, I have been out and about in the Wolfsburg area. Prolonged rain initially caused streams and rivers to burst their banks and flood fields. Then the frost came and froze nature.
Der Winter muss ja nicht immer trist und grau sein, wie man sieht. Schon am Nachmittag gibt es tolle Himmelsfarben zu sehen, die in Kombination mit der passenden Architektur zu interessanten Bildern führen.
Winter doesn’t always have to be dreary and gray, as you can see. Even in the afternoon there are great sky colors to see, which in combination with the appropriate architecture lead to interesting pictures.
After Christmas I thought I would be able to spend some quiet time at Sunset Beach at the Pacific Ocean. Instead we were warned of the high waves at the beach. Of course I had to go and photograph!
Enjoy the image and have a Happy New Year.
PS: I also would like to take the opportunity to thank Peter Hilden for his contribution to our photoblog. Peter shared many outstanding images from his vast portfolio as a travel and street photographer. We all wish him all the best and many more great images!
