The Master At Work
Friedhelm and I took a quick trip to the Merced Wildlife Refuge where we were looking for wildflowers. Looks like he found one.
It’s hard to spot but there’s a flash just in front of the tripod.
Dave
Friedhelm und ich machten einen kurzen Abstecher zum Merced Wildlife Refuge, wo wir nach Wildblumen suchten. Sieht so aus, als hätte er einen gefunden.
Damselfly
David and I drove to the Merced Game Refuge. Our plan was to photograph wildflowers. While looking around I discovered this magnificent damselfly. I used my relatively heavy 180mm macro lens to capture this image.
Enjoy and keep on photographing!

This is a California Painted Lady dining on the seed pod of a Gillardia (Blanket Plant). The petals had all dropped.

Spring Flowers
I am currently using all kind of techniques to photograph Spring flowers. In this image I used a wide open 50mm lens to create a very shallow depths of field. I got the center of the yellow flower sharp and I enhanced the sharpness just in the center in post production to create an even larger contrast. I addition I applied a painting filter on an extra layer to blur the rest of the image just a little bit.
Enjoy and keep on photographing!
Hoch hinaus
… und noch ein Bild vom Wolfsburger Schützenfest. Anke und ich haben bei einer Fahrt mit dem Riesenrad die Aussicht von ganz oben genossen.
