Hi there, again!
These days I quickly snapped a few shots of my daughter doing soap bubbles. Some of them came out in the most amazing colors. The combination with the refections is stunning, isn’t it?

RAW photography and processing with iPhone 8 plus
These days, while on a walk with my dog along the river passing through my home town Herborn, I tried my first shots with the camera built in the Lightroom app for iOS on my iPhone 8plus. I configured the app to store the images as RAW files (*.dng) to make the best of the post-processing workflow in LR.
Wintersun and wildlife

Perspectives of the local train station
These days, our local group of photo-prone friends went to the local train station and searched for new and proven shots. While many put the focus on long-term exposures, I had forgotten my tripod adaptor and thus concentrated on the little things that could be shot free-hand.
Reflections on reflections

However, this seemed too obvious and superficial in the true sense of the meaning. Read more
Autumn walk with the family
Yesterday, we took the chance for a little walk in the autumn sun, enjoying the colors and little details on the side. I was even able to take a few shots while walking although my daughter pressed on telling the rest of my family why I lagged behind with statements such as „Daddy‘ keeps taking photos again. …“.
