A solitary seagull emerging from the clear blue waters of the lake. The luminescence of the sunlight through the wingspan was just to good not to make the focal point of the shot. Taken late afternoon with the sun low in the skyline
Last night in the sky of the city of Sorocaba, Brazil.

I've always been intrigued by the texture and look produced by shooting with a long focal length lens in a snow storm. This year with COVID and staying home I've had more time to study my everyday surrounding like this view from my deck of the trees and woods at the back of my property, I look at them everyday and especially when it snows. I've been trying different compositions but none were exactly what I wanted. That being said, I did use one in the icicle shot that I posted. I thought I'd try again and I think I found what I was looking for. A nice composition with pleasing lines and balance. I like it because it sits good with me, the chaos of the smaller branches with their horizontal and diagonal flow support the strong near vertical lines of the trees leaning to the left and then leaning to the right. Then the cold texture of the snow completes the image! Well that's what I was thinking anyway. I hope you enjoy this bit of my winter snow storm.
Created with the help of Carol King's Tapestry in honor of it's release, 10 February fifty years ago in 1971.
The 4.5 mm focal length used here is the equivalent of a 25mm moderately wide angle on a 35 mm camera. It gives me focus from foreground to infinity and is my ultimate point and click setting. I think this is a Menil Roe Deer.

Alternative focal length and exposure of same spot as previous post. Opted also for the monochrome tones.

It was our usual walk, for which I took my camera and tripod, in the hope that I would find Sasanki. Unfortunately, this year, in the place where they grew, I did not find them - nothing is lost, maybe tomorrow in another place. My wife and I took a slightly different route than usual, behind the castle towards Zychorzyn i Rusinów. There, a small river Brzuśnia flows out of the forest (the right tributary of the Drzewiczka). There is usually a pool in front of the bridge and a small clearing next to it strewn with yellow spring flowers with butterflies bending over them. We went down there, and there were real wonders, in the comfort and warm spring sun. This is the first photo from here. In this case, focusing is the key to taking full advantage of this lens.
This turned out to be my last shot of the Milky Way at the Grand Canyon that I took. When I saw the extra bright shooting star and it explode while taking this 30 second exposure, I figured it could not get any better than this.
One in a trillion shot I think that it also was in the focal point perfectly for this capture.
Needless to say I had a big grin on my face when I returned to our cabin there on the north rim. Ms. Krach as usual was not that impressed ;)
Look in to my eyes...
Sri Lankan leopard (Panthera pardus kotiya) taken at Yala NP Sri Lanka. This big cat walked towards our jeep, then crossed to the other side. See the focal length.
View in large.
The Sri Lankan leopard has a tawny or rusty yellow coat with dark spots and close-set rosettes, which are smaller than in Indian leopards.

On digital cameras there is often a Macro Focus mode which switches the auto focus system to attempt to focus on subjects much closer to the lens.
We measure macro ability (of cameras with non-interchangeable lenses) in our reviews as the ability of the lens to get the best possible frame coverage. So a camera which can fill the frame with a subject that is 20mm wide has better macro capabilities than one which can only capture a 40mm wide subject.

For a change of style, but to stay on the theme of Paris, I propose you some views of the city taken with long focal lenses, which can give a tight frame and sometimes original points of view

A blooming gift and its meaning
They say a look is worth a thousand words. It's the same with flowers. Give flowers to communicate without words!
Chrysanthemums are a special highlight in the bouquet. In floriography, the colorful flowers represent happiness and freshness.
But when these flowers come in such a fiery red, they represent love. ❤️
Die feuerrote Blume (Chrysanthemum x hortorum 'Brennpunkt')
Ein blühendes Geschenk und seine Bedeutung
Man sagt, Blicke sagen mehr als tausend Worte. Mit Blumen ist das ähnlich.
Man schenke Blumen, um ohne Worte miteinander zu kommunizieren!
Chrysanthemen sind ein besonderes Highlight im Blumenstrauß. Die farbenfrohen Blüten stehen in der Floriographie für Fröhlichkeit und Frische.
Kommen diese Blüten aber in einem so feurigen Rot daher, verdeutlichen sie Liebe. ❤️

It must be the last flower photo for now.
Hey, I'm not a flower store or something. ;)
Try this ..... I honestly have no idea what flower this is. Its center looks like a cluster of small transparent insect wings when you look closely.

I just felt like and had fun composing. I still have composition attempts from my last vacation. Hey, I'm currently tinkering with a new LE from the city ;), however, I'm very pressed for time.

Influenced by the cubist photo "The White Fence" 1916 by Paul Strand I attempted to create a similar rendition of my own.
The challenge was to visually balance the positive and negative spaces and reduce perspective to a flat cubist plane. Each element separate yet also adding equal value to the unity of the scene.

A previously unpublished shot from September 2019. No apologies for the Joe Jackson earworm or for using a wide angle focal length for a change. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. Just be sure to dodge the disgusting splats of chewing gum. Enjoy!
Take during an organized walk with some friends. We met, to take some pictures of the various under ground stations here in Munich.
Goal was to take pictures of several stations within Munic. There is even an dedicated group on flickr, www.flickr.com/groups/u-bahn-muenchen/
For this trip, we decided on line U2, starting from the final stop Feldmoching towards main station.
A breath of fresh air, after leaving the station Dülfer Straße, with a short stop the surface to the colorful surface of the shopping mall Mira. Smaller part of the wall in even light.
And if you look carefully, on the brighter parts there are reflections from the clouds above.

My first spring picture from these days. I discover this small field of early flowers in my immediate neighborhood. The sun warms us already so much. Impressive how quickly nature comes to life and blossoms. I am very much looking forward to the coming spring.
