Finally back home
25. July 2009 by Friedhelm.
I took this photo on the last leg from Zurich, Switzerland to Fresno, CA. We left Zurich at 10:00 AM and I took this picture around 9:00 PM Pacific time (6:00 AM Zurich time). I used an image stabilized lens at 1/20 of a second, f4 at ISO 1600. The frost on the wing produced a nice contrast to the warm red colors in the background.
I spent four weeks on Europe, mainly Germany to visit family and of course to photograph. There were two important goals for me to accomplish. My plan was to photograph at the Bundesgartenschau (Germany’s most important exhibition of plants and flowers) at the newly renovated castle of Schwerin (located in former East Germany) and I wanted to photograph architecture, especially old churches and castles. I started out around Lake Constance and my journey lead me further north to the edge of the Harz mountains where I found buildings that were around 1000 years old. I plan to share a few of my images and I invite your comments and thoughts.
I also like to thank my partner David who maintained our Photo-Blog during the time of my journey!
Happy photographing!
