the german punk rock band itchy poopzkid radiates joy. imho they already were the best performing act last year at the rock am see festival in constance, although with greenday and angels & airwaves alleged world stars were present, too. and till today nothing of their passion has got lost. right on!
death at eighty
for me the term nature includes more than the fauna. when you take your time to inspect the flora thoroughly, you will determine, that allegedly soulless creatures are beings with perceivable spirits, too. the sole big difference is, that contrary to the beings of flesh and blood, even dead they seem to be consistent and well balanced.

the sel50 belongs to the cream of sony's native e-mount lenses. if you necessarily like to find something to grouse about, you might quote its mediocre autofocus or its characteristic to blow the small nex system up to a small dslr size. but this would be unfair.
s.n.u.g.
to be honest, i don't really like hdr photography, but i basically want to give each of the current trends at least a try. otherwise there would be the slim chance that i miss something cool.
well, i don't know what to say. it's not my metiér.
caged punk
caged punks perish. whenever i visit the hens at the close-by farmer, my hunger after chicken is dying away suddenly. and if i additionally realise that these hens may live in an idyllic surrounding - compared to the large farms - and are in a half-decent condition, i don't even want to eat eggs any longer.
movie-struck
last week we watched three movies in three different cinemas that couldn't be more different: amour, night train to lisbon and this is 40. each for itself is worth the money, you just have be in the right mood.
for the processing of the image shown above i used a vsco film preset... when if not with that story? btw: light quality in cinema halls is usually not made for photography. accordingly, if you find grain, you can keep it.
muser
this week my stinchen turned 28. and this year we will reach 3333 joint days. without you i would be nothing. you teach me the things i don't preside over. be sure, i'm going to look out for you carefully.
clashing horns
a few weeks ago i stumbled upon google's nik collection discount: only 149$ for six pretty useful lightroom plug-in applications, srp actually round about 500$, that sounded too good. go for it!
today i'd like to show a first result, that was processed with the newer version of silver efex pro - i had used the predecessor for a while, too - and explain, with which workflow the shown sample, that was photographed today a few minutes on foot away from our home, was edited by me: firstly the import in lightroom, application of lens correction, convertion to tiff and transfer to sharpener pro 3 (part 1) for raw pre sharpening, in between buffering in lightroom, transfer to silver efex pro 2 and main editing, again fransfer to sharpener pro (part 2) for final output sharpening and finally export the image from lightroom to jpg. pooh, and all that with my good old laptop... i'm going to familiarise myself with the new software during the coming weeks and i will surely publish more samples.
industrial equaliser
ermm, what do you think? is it the rock or the pop preset? the depths and the highs are definitely boosted...

time has come: winter has finally gone here at lake constance, spring is bypassed and we'll fluently proceed to summer, hopefully. such being the case we indulged in the first ice cream today, although almost zero degrees made it harder for us to enjoy the refreshment.
