Somehow this year is a creative disaster. My photography really sucks right now, my website still isn’t what it should be (could someone please point me to a decent wordpress-photography theme that can handle both portrait *and* landscape oriented images?) and on top of it no one (well with [...]

Last week I spotted a kingfisher in the snow near a riverbank. Naturally I had the wrong lens with me that day and the light was more than poor. So I apologize for the lack of quality in this image. But I wanted to post it anyway, because I [...]

Riding the London Eye at sunset it great. Well, that is, only if you are not stuck with a notorious “flasher” in the same cabin. I kept moving around to get away from him and the reflections he causes in the window, hoping the batteries of camera would finally [...]

Another photo from my walk today. The squirrel was just too cute *lol*.

Blue sky. Clouds. Oh how I miss you! Seriously. I cannot stand all the greyish stuff above my head. I’ve been talking to a friend today and we agreed that the last time any of us has seen the sun was before christmas. I want some colour back in [...]

To get rid of the cold of winter – even for just a moment – here’s an old photo from the Baltic Sea. The most beautiful sunset I ever saw. I remember crying because I had never seen such colours before.
Um mal den kalten Winter für einen Moment auszutreiben: [...]

Today it rained. All day long. Which is weird, because there is still snow everywhere. Anyway, got depressed because I was stuck home and decided to experiment with Bokeh. Managed to construct different filters with different shapes and then realised that the only lens with the right aperture for [...]

There’s a tree outside our office building covered in ice from branch to root. Unfortunately the building behind it is so ugly that no complete shot of the tree works.
Da ist ein Baum vor unserem Bürogebäude, der vom Ast bis zur Wurzel in Eis getaucht ist. Leider ist das [...]

Walking along the river I hear silent whispers in the trees. I look up and through the mist I see the birds watching me. Knowing. Waiting. Wondering. Note: This is an old image, part of the re-uploading after the site crashed in December…

I am still post-processing lots of other images from sunday and monday night. Funny that the really “clear” crystal shots don’t look half as interesting as these slightly blurred ones. Maybe I’ll upload one tomorrow so you can see the difference.
Ich bin immer noch dabei die Bilder vom Sonntag [...]

Sorry, I am afraid I’ll have to bore you with a few more snowflakes. This is far too much fun for a monday night *grins*.
Tut mir leid, schon wieder Schneeflocken. Aber das macht einfach viel zu viel Spaß für einen Montag Abend.

A drop of water. Simple as that. But took ages to capture. Note: This is an old image, part of the re-uploading after the site crashed in December…
Ein Wassertropfen. Ganz einfach. Hat aber lang gedauert, bis ich den erwischt hab. Anmerkung: Das ist ein altes Bild, das ich beim [...]
Sorting through my London photos, I found one I somehow missed before. This is my reflection in a mirror in a shop-window somewhere off Oxford Street (small side street, easy to miss, can’t remember the name right now). It’s kind of weird, I really didn’t think back then, I just pressed the shutter without realising [...]

On a cold December morning, after the rain was gone and snow still far, far away from the city, the sun rose behind Trafalgar Square, casting a golden light across the fountain. Since today was a prett dark day with lots of grey skies and snow I kept thinking [...]

Another fallen star settling down on my scarf on a cold January morning. And still there is not enough light to make it glow. But I’ll keep trying.
Noch ein kleiner gefallener Stern, der an einem kalten Januar Morgen auf meinem Schal gelandet ist. Und immer noch zu wenig Licht, [...]

A small drop and the water rushes out of the city and into the countryside.

After a little November-shower, a rainbow spread over the National Gallery at Trafalgar Square in London.
Nach einem kleinen November-Regenguß spannte sich ein wunderschöner Regenbogen über die National Gallery am Trafalgar Square in London.

A little squirrel checking out the strange sound coming from my camera (autofocus) and me (gleeful squee).
Ein kleines Eichhörnchen guckt, was das für ein komisches Geräusch von der Kamera (Autofokus) und von mir (freudiges Quietschen) ist.

Of all the places I was looking for love, I never thought I’d find it in the heart of a flower. The world is a strange place…
Von all den Orten, an denen ich nach Liebe gesucht habe, dachte ich niemald, dass ich sie im Herzen einer Blume finden würde. [...]

First snowflake I managed to capture. I was quite sad to watch the little fallen star melt and vanish so fast. Hopefully I can give this another try soon – provided there is “nice” snow. If it is too warm or too cold the shapes and sizes of the [...]

Nothing captures my state of mind better than this picture of the steps leading up to my apartment: Can’t seem to find my way, but once I make it through the chaos and stress, up there, at the top of the stairs, I’ll be alright again.. or something to [...]

There’s nowhere to go but ahead.
Through the darkness.
Through the storm.
One step at a time.
One mile a day.
Hoping that somewhere behind the horizon
happiness will wait for me to catch up.

Smoke from a really really horribly smelling incense stick. The things you do for photography… *lol*
Rauch von einem wirklich fürchterlich riechendem Räucherstäbchen. Die Dinge, die man fürs Fotografieren so tut.

Went on a walk again (I seem to do that a lot at the moment) to clear my head and do a bit of thinking and learned the valuable lesson that taking the camera along does not really help with the thinking bit… I know this is pretty random, [...]
Ein Fenster. Ein Mann davor. Oder dahinter. So genau weiß er es selbst nicht, nur, dass es einen Unterschied macht, genauso wie es einen Unterschied macht, ob sein Glas halb voll oder halb leer ist. Seine linke Hand schließt sich um das Gefäß auf dem Tisch, automatisch und ohne optische Lotsenhilfe durch seine Augen, die [...]
Light streams into the room from the window above my head. If you can call it that. The light, I mean. It’s grey. It’s dull. And it’s a problem, because it means that it is too dark in the room to work properly, but not dark enough to switch on the lights. I sit on [...]
There is a sound. I can hear it, but I cannot identify it. It’s not the muffled “thump” of my feet on the muddy path nor the rustling of leaves or the hum of passing cars in the nearby street. It isn’t caused by the birds in the trees or the squirrels on the ground. [...]
I have never been good at poetry. I wrote a few poems as a kid, but more of the “it is not fine, if you will not rhyme“-kind, really. I do not claim that this is in fact poetry in the technical sense of the word, since this is something quite spontaneous and has not [...]
