Gras in the Wind

While taking a walk, I noticed some gras swaying in the wind. It was amazingly hard to capture what I was looking for – one or two stalks perfectly in focus and the others blurred either because of motion or because of depth of field issues.

The depth of field for the lens at aperture 2.8 was minimal at the given distance. This was intended to achieve the desired effect, but it had the consequence that the swaying of the grasses in the wind made it almost impossible to focus. So I pre-focused and tried to capture the stalks as they passed through the plane of focus.

The image is not exactly what I was looking for, but it is pretty close.

Rocks and Ice

While out for a walk, I saw ice on the water surface and some rocks. This is one of the images of the series, “Rocks and Ice XXI” as it came from the camera (the raw converter, actually).

Here is what the image looks like after some mild editing:

The web version looks pretty good, but I am still not entirely happy with the way the prints for this series are turning out. The prints lack the final bit of “punch” that I’m looking for. I think a lot more time in Photoshop is called for … 

Fireworks

I saw some fireworks yesterday and snapped away.

Country Road

A snapshot while taking a walk. This picture (or at least the full resolution image) illustrates why it is not good enough to have a camera with you at all times, it really should be the best camera that you have. If you don’t have a clue what I am talking about, have a look at the three birds in the picture. What three birds? Exactly! With a better camera you would see the birds in their full glory.

I’m still posting the image because I like the light summer feeling which it captures.

Early morning fog

It’s been a while since my last post. I have been busy doing other things, non-photography-related, I am afraid.

I had the opportunity to take a morning walk down the Isar river. The sun was just out and fog wafted over the water.
