Hey Everyone,
it's been quite a while since I posted the last time on this blog.
Well, I am quite willing to change that.
Currently I'm playing with flickr as platform for sharing photos, since I think it is quite awkward to always put images (in the times of photo sharing platforms) still in a blog.
So I will make available all my pictures under the following link:
Impressive Pictures on Flickr
More to Come, Enjoy!

Wedding
A while ago I was invited to a wedding. Just a few days in advance, I got the chance to buy a 50mm prime lens for my cam. No surprise, I wanted to try out this and the marriage was the perfect happing for this.
Unfortunately a lot of the pictures did not get sharp, but I think that was due to the fact that I shot the picture with a small aperture (1.4 to 1.8) and did not raise the aperture very much. The AF of my cam has difficulties in handling this.
I haven't tried shooting pictures on weddings before, but it was fun and because I was not the main photographer I was able to take this not that seriously :)
Enjoy !

Dualism of Things
Today I finished the postprocessing of some pictures, It's sometimes quite hard to decide if pictures have their best expression in color or B/W tone.
I think it mainly depends on the personal likes or dislikes, but at the following picture, I couldn't really decide :)

Forms and Figures
While the last post had the motive of perspectives, I want to show some pictures that point out a theme mainly displaying forms and figures.
This picture displayes a shadow arrangement that was taken at night - here the main focus lies on the principle of repetition and mirrowing.
This B/W picture was taken at the Kaiserswerth castle ruin, the forms of the windows and the 'natural' repetion of the windows was quite good.
This scenery at the market place in Lank-Latum (Meerbusch) was interesting, because the sculptures are arranged in a way that they look at each other. On looking at the picture, the viewer's look also goes along the virtual 'look' lines between the figures. To emphazise them a little, they were put in a decent sepia color tone.
Lovely, isn't it ? Repetition of heart-forms in the foreground, emphazized by the vanishing background.

Being Perspective dependent
Vacation - the best time in the year and also for taking some pictures :).
As mentioned in the last post, I'm currently concentrating on B/W pictures, also trying to modify them slightly with gimp as postprocessing. Turns out not to be that easy ;)
This picture was taken in Meerbusch-Lank Latum, notice the perspctive of the BUS sign in this shot and the chess-like pettern of the pavement.
This shot also concentrates on the perspective within the pedestrian precinct. In the post processing, the picture was adapted to give it a more darker look and emphazize the quite abandoned touch of the scene.
This is a castle ruin in Kaiserwerth, on this shot I concentrated on the composition of the perspective (vanishing point in the upper third of the picture) and also the perspective of the stairs are in focus here.
This picture was also taken in Kaiserswerth, the narrowness of the forrest-walk was quite a view!

Do it Black and White
Wow, I saw my last post lies 4 months in the past, that's quite a long time !
I must admit I haven't had much time for taking pictures, but now I have some which may look quite good ;)
I tried to experiment a bit with B/W pictures, please feel free to comment them.
cheers

A walk by the river...
On christmas, there was some time to take a walk at the river rhine. Hardly to believe, there were a lot of sea-shells covering the ground....
