This week I got a new toy to play with: macro. With the end of winter, the first colours are appearing in the forest, like these.

fifty2:eleven
First time I didn’t get a real photo. I was busy with another project, rebuilding the dropper post of my MTB. Here you can see a still with some of the tools and parts.

fifty2:ten – Waterfall
I had some days off this week and wanted to practice my long exposure skills. This was best possible with some local waterfall.
The water flowing is just beautifully soft, while the bumpy rocks are solid. The effects used in the image, high structure B&W and long exposure, are reflecting the material in the scene.
Already ten full weeks. Cheers!

fifty2:nine – The last burst of winter
I was in Barcelona this week, trying to escape the snow and winter. It didn’t worked out. Despite beeing several hundreds of kilometer south from Bonn, it was cold and it snowed there too. But, after traveling back home, the winter here showed a last brust too. Hopefully the last one.

fifty2:eight – Signs of Spring
While the cold weather is here for a few days, at least the sun is coming out. It feels very good to have some sun rays shining on the skin again.

fifty2:seven – Nutria on the run II
Yes, another time a Nutria is on the run. Similar to week 2, I could freeze some action in the local park between some animals. I will add some more of them in the next week.

fifty2:six – Winter Moment
It was getting cold this week. On yet another walk in the park, the seabirds were standing on the frozen sea. The photo is not my favorite style of photography. I like to do landscapes with impressive color. But since it’s typical German winter, I have to take what comes. But I like this photo, it is a very good composition in my mind. I’m pleased this week.

fifty2:five – Eurasian coot
Another week has passed by. It’s already February.Time for a short review of the 52 project. First of all, I have posted a photo every week so far! Great. It feels good to take photos and exercise. On the other hand, the pressure to have to do it feels make me thinking. Organize catalogue, edit pictures, selecting one and publish it, no matter what but at least one image. That does not spark creativity. I have to spend much time and energy on my day job. Then, at the weekend I also have to do the project. But, I don’t want to complain. Let’s see how it works at the end of the year.
This image shows a Eurasian Coot. It was taken during a walk.

fifty2:four – Floodwater
The Rhine is spreading over the banks these days. Caused by heavy rains and melting snow, the level is at a 8 meter mark (avg. 3,51m, max. >10m). This also pushes the groundwater level. In the near areas, some grasslands are flooded with water, like this.

fifty2:three – CGN airport
Not all weeks are shiny, beautiful and eventful. This week was good, a lot of work to do. There was also a storm rolling over Germany this week. But anyway, the Mountain Bike season needs to be prepared. I see the view in the picture more often these days. It is the end of the runway of Cologne/Bonn airport, you can see the tower in the background. It is part of my training route. Quite interesting if you hear the turbines powering and smell the burned fuel. The day I took the photo was a two hour ride, 2mm rain, 2.8 degree Celsius. Not nice.
