a photographer's view to the world – a traveler's blog
This weeks photo challenge at The Daily Post asked for photos showing “on top”.
Although the perspective in this photo is downwards, it shows people standing on top of a bridge, being on top of the water below.
I took that photo a few years ago in a Japanese garden.
Take care!
The guys over at The Daily Post choose “Monument” as the topic for this weeks photo challenge.
Regardless the intelligence or power of men, nature is always much bigger. So I picked this photo for this weeks challenge.
Take care!
This weeks assignment for photographers over at “The daily post” is quite challenging. It’s “Threshold” as you already might have seen from the subject.
I picked this photo taken last year at a ballooning festival. Here, here and here you can read more about the festival.
Threshold means, done with the preparation and going up to the next level. While some balloons are already in the air, the big red one is still in preparation on the ground.
I hope you like it. If so, you can go back to my previous post and have al look on them.
Take care!
This is my photo for Leanne Cole’s Monochrome Madness.
It’s one of the old lighthouses in Brittany, France.
Take care!
I like the idea of Cee to organize an open photo challenge with only one topic: “way“. I found it the other day and got an immediate idea, of what to post. But, I spared it until today.
So, here is my contribution: Choose your way and choose it right. There are many options, but not every option leads you to your planed destination.
Take care!
This weeks photo competition at “The daily post” is “joy”!
Today’s post something very special. I’m not only a travel and landscape photographer. I’m also a portrait and wedding photographer. But most of those jobs are private. So, you haven’t seen any of them here. But every now and then I also work with a model for theme shootings.
This photo was taken at such a theme photo shooting and finally I edited it quite hard, as you can easily see. I’m very curious for you opinions and feeling regarding the photo. I know, not everyone will like it, but I’m really interested in your opinions. The cover is inspired by the 1960s and early 1970s, when the flower power and hippie movement was on its summit and psychedelic rock came up.
Sometimes I create fake magazine covers for the models. This time got inspired by Leanne Cole to create a vinyl record cover, that aims to have been stuck in the tight record box for a long time. Leanne Cole is an Australian photographer and has started working with textures a few weeks ago. While working with certain textures she is able to create a very special mood in her photographs.
Today, the Daily Prompt ask photographers to show beauty. But, what is beauty? Is there a general definition, what is beautiful and what is ugly? Doesn’t this depend on the eye of the viewer?
My first intention was, to show a photo of a fledgling of an moorhen. These young birds are really ugly with their bald spots and ugly color combinations in skin, feather and pecker, but what would their mother describe them? Would she also say, their kids were ugly?
On the other hand: think of the fairy tale of the ugly duckling, told by Hans Christian Andersen. An duckling slipping in the wrong nest. Thus, being gray instead of yellow and bigger then his siblings. But, later in time, when he began to be an adult, the ugly duckling turned to be a pride swan.
This lonely tree, I found in Brittany, is my contribution to todays assignment at “The daily Prompt” called singular sensation.
I liked the unique shape of this tree and the fact to be located alone, surrounded by grain and a few lower bushes. So, it’s not only its uniqueness, that made me choose this photo. Also the fact, that it’s standing alone in the fields gave me the idea to choose it.
More on my travels in France (and elsewhere) can be found by using the categories on the right of this post. My most current posts are focused on traveling in Cuba.
Here is my contribution to this weeks photo competition at The daily Post.
It’s taken at La Fayette department store, women building, in Paris.
This post is my contribution to the weekly photo challenge by The daily post. This weeks assignment is “fleeting”.
Smoke is fleeting while vanishing. Such, as many, many other things too.
This is my photo for Leanne Cole’s Monochrome Madness. It’s taken 2 weeks ago during a Steampunk themed photo shooting.
Take care!
