Snail

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

Back again

Surprise, surprise. While sitting in the kitchen, eating medicine :(, i could hear a strange but familiar sound from the living room. Could this be true ? Could it be she again ? Daidiri ? My out of space princess ? Yes, indeed. She came in with a smile, with this little twinkle in her eyes. Just a touch of hand movement and her bodyguards vanished. She took a seat and said, that she gave me a promise, to show me where she was from. And without any delay i had a stellar vision in my head. Incredible…. she smiled and asked me to press that famous little button on this little box she gave me and bummmm, my printer started a job. The output can be seen here.

She took one big A3+ sized print and went away, without a word, just stopping in the doorframe, turning around to me, with that smile in her face and she gave me the words into my mind: “We see again, my dear…. for sure!” I could hear some unknown female voices from the livingroom, such as “ahhhh” and “Ohhh…” and suddenly it was silent again. I checked the living room. It was dark, it was empty, just a touch of Daidiris perfume in the air ….

The famous little box, one single pushbutton, HP 9180 printer :)

Driving fast on highway, heading est. 235KM/h on the speedometer. Heavy lorries in front of me. And suddenly Mrs. Robinson in my head: “What if the lorry in front of you suddenly changes the lane without having the driver looked into the rear mirror ?? Will you enter heaven, will you enter hell ? Would you be a good looking angel with white wings ?”

With that in mind and her sweet smile right before my “third eye” i lowered the speed. I arrived, not too late, relaxed and happy. Thanx to my guarding angel… and made the vision visual ! Hope you enjoy. Make it too !
