As I've said before, I don't have to leave the apartment to hunt for a shot. Early Jan. brought rain, sleet and some snow. Water on a window is pretty awesome in my opinion. Sometimes you can feel how wet it is without even touching it.

November in Ulm, Germany is foggy and misty. The forest next to the Danube is both mystical and haunting.

It was a sunny day as I walked along the Danube in Ulm, Germany.  I am  constantly searching for interesting light and shadow, which I found under this bridge that connects Ulm to Neu Ulm.

Sometimes I can't resist this kind of shot.

Just playing with fire

Look carefully at the ball

The ordinary lamp is filled with possibilities, endless possibilities.

 

 

 

With a little vision you can make something that at first looked dull into something of interest.

A few thoughts on making a photograph.
Making Photographs | www.capturingexposures.com

Digital cameras allow us to take more photographs in a shorter space of time and to publish them within seconds. It's literally a snap!

Less is more. You won't really become a better photographer by simply snapping off a lot of random shots. And simply snapping away doesn't mean that you can replace quality with quantity, does it.

Making a photograph takes intent, knowledge, focus and, yes, hard work. Anyone who attempts to claim otherwise is being either naïve or ignorant. So, get out there and practice with intent and focus. Learn to look, see and think. Bring it all back to the darkroom and make that photograph you have in your mind’s eye.

We have left fall and have entered the beginning of winter here in the area of Ulm, Germany. The mix of fog, frost and different tones of gray converging on farmers' empty fields are intriguing.

A HUGE mall called Złote Tarasy (Golden Terraces) was directly across the street from our hotel. I was taken by the massive geometric design of the roof's architecture. So, with camera in hand I ventured inside.
