Those photos were taken – some weeks ago in Essen, the “european capital of culture 2010″, in the “Ruhrmuseum”, which is located in “Zeche Zollverein”. The light conditions there are very interesting. Do it was very easy to create a unique atmosphere without using Photoshop. Of course, I did a bit of Lightroom work to get a good BW result.
First of all, Happy New Year to everyone who is out there.
Today, I want to share a video with you, that isn’t by me, but I uploaded it on Youtube. It’s a wonderful interpretation of the Symphony No.9 by Ludwig van Beethoven.
Every year, thousands of japanese people sing the ending chorus of this great piece. Last year, 10000 people came together to celebrate the year 2011. For Japan, it was a year of harm and deeply mourning, but also a year of new hope and confidence. Maybe singning this great song together, can help the japanese people to start the new year with more courage and hope:
Today, i want to show you a photo, i took on a trip to Amsterdam. It rained the whole day and wer weren’t prepared, so we had to buy umbrellas. We went to Madame Tussauds and there was a small window, that showed the weaher very well. When I edited this photo, i saw, that it was possible to use the “tilt-shift” effect on this photo. I tried it and that’s how it looks like:
This video, I took with my Nikon D5100 is nothing special. I love the video tool of the camera and i went to a forest close to my hometown to collect some clips. I think the video, you can see right here, turned out very well. It’s simple, of course, but I like playing with the light and using the effect of “Depth of Field”:
I also took some photos. This photo was very difficult to take, because of the difficult light conditions, but after some tries it worked out very well:
Just a video and some impressions (SOOC) from the “Japan Tag 2011″ in Düsseldorf Germany. Other photos from Düsseldorf may follow next week.
Here are some photos “straight out of camera”:
This weekend, I was on a one-day trip to the close Netherlands. I visited a small national park close to Arnhem, not far away from the german border. This dead tree was a wonderful photo motive, I thought:
Nationaal Park De Hoge Veluwe (English: National Park The Hoge Veluwe) is a dutch national park in the province of Gelderland near the cities of Ede, Arnhem and Apeldoorn. It is approximately 55 square kilometers in area, consisting of heathlands, sand dunes and woodlands. It is situated in the Veluwe, the area of the largest terminal moraine in the Netherlands. Most of the landscape of the park and the Veluwe was created during the last Ice Age. The alternating sand dune areas and heathlands may have been caused by human utilization of the surrounding lands. The park forms one of the largest continuous nature reserves in the Netherlands.

The last summer days are passing by, the days become colder and colder and most of the birds are already gone. This bumblebee uses one of the last flowers to get some food. The warm sun shines down on her colored body and she really enjoys the last days of the late summer. And so I do. Is hsouldn’t spend my free time in front of the computer. Now, i’ll go out and enjoy the more or less warm temperatures:
