I discovered Herby, he was hidden under tree and covered in rust and dirt...

he is even missing his number :(

Like with every embassy appointment, I arrived early, way to early, about 2 hours to early. So I took the time to take some pictures in the area of the German consulate and I really like the area so far and would love to live there.

It's just so beautiful.

At least 3 shots out of 800 turned out to be pretty nice. And I really like the flying bird, which is pretty sharp.

  • my first successful bird in flight
  • just four birds



  • the three stugges

At moments like this I wish I had a Nikon D300 and a Nikon 300mm AFS, the Nikon D80 is a wounder full camera, but the focus tracking is really really awful sometimes.

And it finally managed to catch up and focus when the bird landed with the crab...


well the longer I look at this picture the more it bugs me, for example all the detail in the hair was lost.

Well now it's back and I really should be happy with this look.

Btw this is the original picture our of camera with 0 adjustments

Since I was not really happy with the original version, I went back to the drawing board and did some more magic. I guess now it really rocks :)
