Krumminer Allee

Krumminer Allee again. This time on bicycle. I guess there are not many better options to get through the trees here. It was a perfect summer afternoon. And sorry for the blurred vision in the pic. Was not that easy to get the shot done.

The photo was originally puplished on my Instagram account.

Karlshagen Habour Sunset


Sorry for not updating the blog the last weeks. Kinda busy these days. But I’m working to improve my performance here. This photo was taken at Karlshagen habour, after having a delicious dinner in one of the really nice restaurants there.

I have to admit that more and more I’m getting lazy in carrying the DSLR with me. This photo was taken and edited with and iPhone 4S. Incredible how the quality of phone cameras have improved over the last couple of years. Also the post processing on the phone is insane. But this does not mean I will throw the DSLR in the bin. It’s used for the more specific photographs like portraits.

Just another sunset


Bored of seeing sunset pictures? Anyway – here is another one taken on Usedom Island. Done in between the remains of bunkers used for storing rocket fuel in the early days of rocket science. (see: Heeresversuchsanstalt Peenemuende) Not an honourable reason for the development in those days but at the end this led us to the moon.

Peenestrom Sunset

One thing I had on my list during summer vacation was to get a picture of the sun going down over the backside of the Island. So I grabbed my bike and drove to Peenemünde. Most important thing I have learned at this stage: when biking through all the reed behind the dyke in the evening – keep you mouth closed! (unless you are keen on protein). 

Krumminer Allee

First photograph here taken in my summer vacation this year. This wonderful piece of road is located on the Usedom Island, when driving from the island’s main road to the nice village of Krummin. When I saw this I had to stop for taking a picture. Unfortunately I had to take the photo around noon. Next time I should try it in the golden hour.
