Have a landscape

kweide — Wed, 29 Oct 2014 18:39:48 +0000

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 !

Where the dream begins

kweide — Wed, 21 Aug 2013 17:39:24 +0000

Sitting in between all this mighty old Olive trees, smelling them, touching their skin, that is the moment, that is the place where the dream begins, where emotions start jumping thru your body, the moment when meditation starts. Giving ideas, feeding your brain with visions, with creations. That is the moment when you start to see the scenery thru your heart. Press the button, let the emotions go, they will lead you to a wonderful experience. So i took this picture, knowing, that it will be only a starting point for a new piece of art work for my Olivetree series. Feeling the soul of the trees, see they slow dance

Intruder

Well, nature can not be stopped. She holds out her fingers and will occupy their new space. Just watch and do not ask me to clone away that drought fingers of grass, coming in from left. That ARE the intruders :)

The flow of water

Go to your local dealer and invest some small money into ND filter. 2x, 3x and 4x ND filter are best. I took them for my wide angel lens and was lucky enough to see that the filter size matches 3 other lenses as well :). If you are smart you will take larger diameter filters and use a step-down adapter ring :) Just a tip. Now stack them together and dial down your aperture to, lets say 16 or even 22. Mount your cam on a sturdy tripod and the next river is your landscape model. Best results are with very long exposure times. 15 to 30 seconds in my case. And do not forget to dial down your ISO to the lowest value ! And now have fun

The Queen

The Queen of Olive tree in the pale light of the moon under a sky made of steel. Waiting, waiting for the harvest to come, which is already approaching.
