The San Francisco Bay
16. June 2010 by admin.
I drove into the Oakland hills visiting Redwood regional park and Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve. While driving from Redwood to Huckleberry I stopped because the view of the City of Oakland and San Francisco was just breathtaking. In this image you see the Oakland Bay bridge on the left hand side and on the right the Golden Gate bridge.
Enjoy!

Yosemite Falls in November
24. November 2009 by admin.
Yosemite Falls is full of water during late Spring. In late Summer it is sometimes totally dry. We were very happy that there was water coming down the mountain even it was a relatively small amount. I decided to use three shots of the fall to combine them in a triptych. A triptych image was used during medieval times in churches in Europe. I thought it would create a nice impression of the fall by combining different views of the fall.
Enjoy!

Shooting and Photographing
29. April 2009 by admin.
Soldiers shoot with guns, photographers with cameras. We are using the the word and still there is a fundamental difference. People with guns have the potential to kill, photographers have the potential to create. What would I rather do? I am glad to be a photographer!
Happy shooting (with your camera of course!)

About photographing animals
19. February 2009 by admin.
The problem with animal photography is that in most cases you can’t pose them. That means that you have to be patient for the right moment. I always use spot metering and try to get the eyes sharp. My lens is wide open because I want to blur the background.
Have fun and happy shooting!

Something everywhere!
15. February 2009 by admin.
While Friedhelm was enjoying a day in Yosemite I was stuck doing long put off bookwork and a homework assignment (some old dogs take a long time to learn new tricks).
So when the mood to take some photos overtook me I just opened the fire insert door and came up with this shot. See there are opportunities everywhere. Though I would have rather been in Yosemite.
