week 25 - in an alley...

you can meet some weird people.












and I really like my new lens :)

week 24 - Merry Christmas!

Hey, it's week 24 and it the 24th!
Hold on, can't be. I've gotta hurry up, I think I'm two weeks late.
I'm so excited! Guess what I got for Christmas! The Canon EF 70-200mm USM 4L!!
Okay, I had to pay half of it myself, but that's fine since I've been saving for it for a while.

Merry Christmas to everyone! And a happy new year!

week 23 - skeptical

Skeptical? Indifferent? Pensive? Shy?

week 22 - landscape at dawn

I don't wanna brag, but I'm really proud of this picture ;) Might be my best landscape picture so far.

week 21 - A rainy evening...

...doesn't keep German people from going to Christmas markets.
Okay, just because I don't have other photos to show this week.
















I'm pretty sure they get really dizzy :D

week 20 - Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus (undercover)

Guess what...today I met Santa Claus and his wife! Mr. Santa Claus had shaved his beard so I wasn't sure if he was it, but just imagine he had a long white beard (he told me he would dye it white every December and by then the beard also would be long again. Wow, it must be growing very fast.
Finally I convinced them to put on their Santa hats so everybody could see who they were...

No, not really. Just my sister and her husband, but they are as great as Santa Claus.

week 19 - I think I was manic...

...when a friend and I went hiking in Converses when it was about 22 degrees(about -5 degrees Celsius). When we got home we couldn't feel our feet or hands anymore. But hey, it was a fun trip and we've got some nice pics. And we have to get used to the cold weather, in December it'll be around 14 degrees...


Or rather in color?

week 18 - just another lonely tree...

Because I don't have much time...just another tree...very simple. I hope he likes to be alone or he'll feel very lonely since there aren't any other trees around him...poor guy.

week 17 - moving trees and the last shafts of sunlight

Almost all people on facebook like the edited version more than the original, but I think I should post the original anyway.




































And then I saw some moving trees! They used their limbs like arms and I'm sure they'll grab everybody who's stupid enough to walk near them. Maybe these people will get eaten. I didn't wanna get eaten so I decided to stay far away and took a picture from there.


I think my imagination is too big.

week 16 - the colors of fall

I got up at six thirty this morning (and it's Sunday!) because I wanted to take some pictures of the morning fog. Only there was no fog. Oh well. The colors of fall look just as nice :)
I decided that only trees would be too boring so I placed my bike in the picture and because there weren't any other people (of course! It was seven in the morning in the the middle of nowhere!) I shot another self portrait.
























And yesterday we went feeding some ducks and suddenly a goose appeard and decided no one would notice that she wasn't a duck and she just swam in the middle of them, wich looked kinda funny ;)











This is from yesterday as well.
I shot it while driving in the car because I didn't get a chance to stop somewhere... very blurred and out of focus but maybe it works in this case.

week 15 - playing in the park

I'm not even sure if I'm on week 15. It's probably already week 16 but I'm too lazy to count.
My Mom, my little brother and I visited my sister Kathrin in Frankfurt and stayed with her for the weekend. Saturday evening Yogi and David came to say Hello and we went to a park not far from Kathrins apartment, which was really nice. Really enjoyed spending time with my family :)

week 14 - Sunday afternoon in Bamberg

There was a flew market...



I'm really sorry I don't have any other pictures to show. At the moment I'm only able to photograph on the weekends and I just don't have enough time to do all the stuff I wanna do.

week 13 - Ei-Phone

Just to keep this blog updated.

It's funny in German, English people won't get the joke. In German the letters "EI" (which means egg) are pronounced like the letter "I" in English. So I-Phone in German sounds like Ei-Phone (Egg-phone.)
You should get one, they're awesome (the Ei-Phones.)

week 12 - almost touching the sky

I really like this one :)



So...we finally moved to Bavaria. Outside of Bamberg it actually looks pretty nice, look at that:

The weather wasn't perfect for landscape photography and I shot against the sun...how clever...so I just tried to use some nice compositions (stones as a foreground, rule of thirds)

On our way we found this little snake...Does anybody know what kind of snake this is? I guess it was a baby, maybe 20 cm(about 8 inches) long. Somebody said it was a Coronella austriaca but I'm not quite sure about that. Any other ideas?


on our way up:


simple...
