Flower Power

kweide — Sun, 18 Jan 2015 07:27:45 +0000

While testing an older type lens on Bokeh i asked her to wear those “flower-crown” as well. Just to spice it up a bit. Look what she did. And i had the idea to produce some really flower powered new pictures derived from Mother Nature idea. Easy to produce and colorful

The red wonder

kweide — Mon, 03 Nov 2014 06:43:23 +0000

While running around thru the tress, thru the garden of Pillnitz near Dresden, one has to keep his eyes open, as always. And suddenly this little red thing came across my way. So small yet so powerful and with such striking red leaves. It made a fantastic green/red contrast. SO what could i do ?? Yes, take a picture of it..

Have a landscape

Just to give my eyes a different kind of visual food i confronted them with trees, green grass and such stuff. I found it in Pillnitz, near Dresden. We made a steamboat tour to the beautiful palace of Pillnitz and the fantastic garden installation. There forest and its garden are stunning. If you ever have the chance to visit it, do it !

Beach light

And if you like it more natural and not that much surreal just alter the background and change a bit the overall colorization and light situation. And here it is, the beach light scene.

Teide

If you ever have the chance to visit the island Teneriffe, do not miss Teide National Park. It is a fantastic vulcano landscape. Go there and if you are lucky, catching a slight cloudy day you have to pass the clouds to reach the top. Slow down in the cloud area and enjoy this spooky atmosphere. Just like i did. Wait for a while, for the best light, perhaps you will get the lucky kiss of the sun breaking thru the clouds… enjoy.

Snail

kweide — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 06:20:54 +0000

Back home from a trip full of impressions and tons of new pictures. Exhausted, tired. Taking the last steps from the car into the house. The camera bag over the shoulder. Happy to be home again. But suddenly a colored spot. Small and to my right. I decided to stop and to look a bit closer. A snail, a very small one. About 1.5 cm long slides beside my way. Okay, i think, here comes the macro. Just threw the M.Zuiko 60 onto my E-M1 and snapped the pictures right away. Exhausted or not…

Arg, it should be a focus stack but that damned snail is moving, slow but fast enough to prevent a stack. I tried different apertures and their effects on sharpness and bokeh. Well here you see the little guy with f2.8 and a wonderful creamy bokeh

Dark rose

Just two roses, placed on the desk ?? No ! I took the picture in the garden while searching little creatures like spider, bugs etc. Long time forgotten to work on this but while creating d´the “Dark Series” it came avon to my mind and i did a b&w conversion to achieve the dark look here as well. Looks great in large print.

Dandelions flight

kweide — Sun, 27 Apr 2014 08:36:04 +0000

It is their time now. You can see them everywhere coming thru the grass. White globes sitting an long green shafts. And when it is time and a bit of helping wind is around you can see their seeds flying thru the air. That is a wonderful moment, enchanted. Watch them landing, see them them in the early morning covered and kissed by the morning dew.

Breakfast in Tuscany

kweide — Sun, 27 Oct 2013 08:00:12 +0000

What is better than an Italian breakfast in Tuscany? Sitting in the garden, the first rays of sun through the branches of trees break seeing the flareghosts in the lens? This (croissants here already in the stomach) and a large espresso ….

Have your camera ready… always !
