Encounters in the dark forest

kweide — Sat, 21 Feb 2015 13:46:33 +0000

… or better: When an angel arrived… guided by the warm golden Light of heaven, touching the ground, spreading the wings. Preporing her clothes for the upcoming tasks. Whatever that will be. Even the wild wolf is standing still, looking, Will the wolf be the new companion of the angel ?? Who knows …

Again E-M1

Ground effect

… or better the mirror effect. Put her onto the ground and let her look into a beautiful mirror. Not a small one but a large old mirror and let her play facial expression. And ask her for eye contact via the mirror. That is your moment to take pictures. If you can, avoid flash light, try using a simple reflector and watch the reflections thru the mirror. Have fun with that play…

EM-1 what else ??

See the Lord

And while arranging her veils, she lifted her head, seeing some soft light shining from above. And what she saw made her happy…

Just to give you an idea that a simple decision is sometimes not that easy to do. In this case the decision between color and/or BW version is open. Thats the reason for showing them both
Well, here the b&W version:

And here the color one

Both Olympus E-M1 + M.Zuiko 12-40, one single flash. And which one do you like best ??

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 !
Olympus E-M5 + Zuiko 7-14

Put into the view

What a boring view. Standing on a bridge and looking over the blue and flat sea. Okay, the sky is blue and some nice looking clouds on it. pfffttt… a tourist picture. But did you see whats to your right ? To your left. Did you recognize the specific things ?? LOOK ! And put them into your view, put them into the frame, into your viewfinder, into your picture and suddenly you got a total different composition. A picture, with a WOW-Effect…

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 :)

Blue moon ? Have no clue

Still sitting on the wooden ground, still wrapped with veils, silky fabrics, still moving around to find comfortable and attractive positions :) And suddenly she sits there, a bit upright, head lowered and said “I can´t find attractive positions …!” “Oh, my dear that is an attractive and relaxed position”, was in my mind and i made the picture.

Having that said loud, she laughed out loud, leaned back a bit and got another relaxed and attractive position. I had no other chance, it was a “Must make Picture”

Olympus E-M5, ISO200, 1/160 second, M.Zuiko 75 mm @f 1.8, only one single flash used shot thru my lovely Firefly Octa SB

Death of an angel

kweide — Sat, 29 Sep 2012 11:31:57 +0000

Did you think an angel´s life is forever ? Don´t think so. This is what i found walking thru the nearby forest….. it looks like a heavy fight, a bloody and heavy one and it looks like the angel lost its life, the soul is just vanishing … who was the winner ?? I could not see a demon or a devil….

Olympus E-P3, ISO640 @ f2.2, Summilux 25, 1/80 second, no flash used

The witch

kweide — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 16:44:50 +0000

Walking with the dog, walking and running into the forest. Looking big and mighty an old trees. Fun for the dog, finding things to hunt… deeper and deeper into the darker forest. Light ?? Vanishing and suddenly a light. We entered a small glade. “Help, help, free me, please …” I looked up and i saw her, caged into the iron jail, hanging down from an old oaktree. “I am not a witch, believe me …., free me please ”

Impressive, isn´t ??? Would you free her ?
