A typical weekend walk with a nice view to the Siebengebirge, a couple of hills near Bonn. As you can see, the grass was dried out by the hot and dry summer this year.

fifty2:thirty – Blood Moon
On 27th of August 2018, a special event happened: a total lunar eclipse, coincided with Mars being nearly as close as possible to Earth, a concurrence that happens once every 25,000 years.
This is a selection of six exposures of a time series, showing the different states on leaving the shadow.

fifty2:twentysix – Evanescence
It’s half time! Half of the weeks are over and so the half of the fifty2 project. I’m in a hurry, but I like to write a review later.
Sunset is always a nive scene. I found this drying flowers on a very nice and sunny day. Everything will come to an end. We should always have this in mind. If it looks like this, it is beautiful.

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: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.

fifty2:one
As many people have, I have picked some New Years resolutions. As I’m interested in photography but didn’t have shot much in the past two years, I want to do more. I want to do some projects and one of them is a 52-week project. If you’re not familiar with it, it means that I shoot and publish a picture every week for a year. This is just to stick with photography, get some creative mojo and practice the craft. So don’t expect awesome fine-art photos every week.
This is my first photo. The whole week here was mostly overcast, rainy and some winter storms (without snow). One day in the evening on a walk, the sun came out to say goodbye for the day.

Man könnte auch meinen es war schon Sommer, zumindest letzten Samstag.
