Bokeh Dreaming…

It’s a time of the year in which photographers have more opportunities than usual to play around with lights. The weather here has been lousy for weeks now, but there are plenty of possibilities to take some nice photos indoors. Besides the obvious pet portraits you can play around with still life photography or abstract images. How about exploring the macro world inside your home?

Whatever you celebrate (or not), I wish everyone a great time: take a break from the bad news and social media, try to relax as best as you can, have a nice video chat with family members you cannot visit right now, go outside (if health and weather allow) for a long walk – and don’t forget your camera if you do. 😉

Stay healthy!

Delicate

Something more subtle today.
Not really much to say about this picture to be honest. I just came across these flowers on one of my hiking trips and I knew I had to take a picture of them.
That’s how I like to photograph flowers and why I love my nifty fifty.

Have a good one everyone!

More to come soon…

Whoa, Nellie!

Sorry, I just could not resist the allusion to Nelly Furtado’s debut album (mind the different spelling though).

This is – you might have guessed it by now – Nellie. She’s a cute one, albeit a bit shy. Might have made some bad experiences with humans in the past, I’m afraid. Hopefully, she’ll be gaining more trust in the future.

Shots taken during the “blue hour” after sun set with my nifty fifty wide open.
I like the typical full-frame look with its shallow depth of field here.

Thinking…

A dog portrait today.
I always wonder what they are thinking when they have that look. I guess something about food… 😉

Interested…

Hope you’ve had some nice, relaxing holidays!
