Christmas is less than a fortnight away and nature here in Ostwestfalen is like early Spring. We used Sunday afternoon for an extended hiking tour around home waters of the river Werre in the Löhne area.
There is hardly a better place in my area to enjoy a perfect Autumn day than the open-air -museum in Detmold. We spent a whole day in beautiful sunshine without a cloud in this lovely location.
The LWL-Freilichtmuseum in Detmold is a great place to learn and experience the world of our ancestors. The open-air-museum is covered with buildings, tools, animals and plants of countryside life in Northwest Germany in the last couple of centuries. An endless source of inspiration for HDR photography.

I know it's not completely sharp but I stll love the place.It's shot handheld with some wind,but I still love the mood and the place.
Long exposure of the King's creek, leading to the King's fall, which unfortunately I was not able to see because the lookout got damaged in the fire last year and it has not been repaired yet. Got there a bit late, so the sun was not shining on the creek anymore.
Shot with the OM1 handheld, using the electronic ND filter. The image stabilization is amazing, the background is super crisp, the foreground is a bit fuzzy because it was too close to me. I am super happy not having to carry a tripod.
Handheld at 400 mm. Pretty much straight out of camera. The fog made for a nice aquarell painting look.
Handheld shot, I don't know why I didn't take the tripod with me. Wait, yes I do. I meant to take some hand held sketches on the way back to the hotel from the club and then come back with the tripod, only I didn't get back.
Handheld, I have now ordered a pocket tripod so I can get these stopped down a little more and longer exposures at lower iso.
Dainty European Skipper butterfly taking nectar from a wild Bulls-eye Daisy.
Uncommon migrant into the area. First seen in London, Ont, Canada in 1910, then spreading south. Can be abundant, if conditions are right.
Accipiter nisus. Wild
While the bird was still for long moments i was trying to keep ISO as low as possible and relying on the IBIS.
This one has almost red eyes. A sign of age.
Handheld with the 300/f4 in terrible light.
Made on my phone in Pixlr and MirrorLab.

This is a photo I shot on Texel in the Nederlands. I really liked the mood with the dark clouds and the light, that managed to penetrate them in the distance, with the different layers of sand in the foreground. Even though I shot it completely handheld as the light was disappearing fast, so there was not time to get the tripod out, I felt inspired by Thomas Heaton, at least for the square crop and the mood.
When you enter the Dutch national park The Veluwezoom, the sings kindly ask you to keep your distance from the animals, that are allowed to roam freely. But what if the horses doesn’t keep their distance to you! I was photographing a tree, when I suddenly noticed an impressive horse behind the bushes. I scared a bit, and saw even more horses appear through the fog and they came really close. They didn’t seem to bother at all about my presence, and eventually I decided to just go on with what I already was doing, make photographs! This little one kept coming closer and this gave me the opportunity to make this shot at 40mm. I was the only one around at the time, and felt a bit relieved when the horses finally moved on. But I have to admit that I also felt blessed by this almost magical encounter, the literally came out of nowhere, and for that moment where I almost felt a connection with the animals and the environment. I think I’ve said this before, but through photography I had many experiences which I normally would have missed. It really lets me live in the moment and that’s only one of the major benefits. Well, who am I speaking to? You already know of course!
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!
