The perfect morning? — The only important tip in photography 

Oh, it could just have been the perfect morning. The mood of the light, the presence of the perfect amount of misty haze, the spring green and me stan­ding in the biggest sea of wild garlic to take pictures. But the world isn’t perfect and so it is that some places full of wild garlic fell victim to the forestry work in winter and the other­wise perfect morning didn’t coin­cide with the peak of the wild garlic blossom. A pity really. Nevert­heless, some great pictures were taken and I have a very basic tip for you in this BLOG/VLOG!

Image proces­sing

The influence of image proces­sing on nature photography 

Maybe you’ve been there: You’re on a holiday that you’ve been saving up for for a long time and you capture your expe­ri­ences in pictures. After­wards, you’re a little disap­pointed because your pictures don’t even begin to reflect what you saw. If you have photo­gra­phed in JPG, you won’t be able to do much about it, and some of the pictures might just be for the bin. However, if you have saved the RAWs at the same time, your chances of getting some­thing out of the images increase signi­fi­cantly. This BLOG is all about what is possible with modern image proces­sing using the RAWs of today’s cameras. PS: Without sky repla­ce­ment or adding atmo­spheric elements!

Taking photos when the weather doesn’t cooperate 

Oh man, I wish I’d just stayed in bed. Now I have 30 minutes of hiking uphill in complete dark­ness through the Pala­ti­nate Forest and over an hour’s drive behind me and I’m stan­ding here in the middle of the fog soup instead of above it as planned. And yet the weather models were all in agree­ment. Fog level, dawn, ever­y­thing should have been fine. What now? Turn around, go home and give up or pull through and see what you can get out of it with a little crea­ti­vity? In this BLOG/VLOG, I finally get to grips with the auto­matic focus bracke­ting of my Sony a7IV, go in the direc­tion of B&W fine art with my images, show you how to get black and white images quickly and easily in LR/PS and prove to you that giving up is not an option and that you can always find some­thing photo­gra­phi­cally interesting!

Photo­gra­phing mush­rooms in the forest 

Fall time is mush­room time. And although I was told it wasn’t going to be a mush­room year this year, I was comple­tely surprised when I saw mush­rooms ever­y­where to my left and right on my jogging route. While I was running, I thought to myself that a visit to the forest with my camera would be wort­hwhile. At home I set up my equip­ment and saw the email that the Sony a7IV can now do focus bracke­ting. I have to try that out. So I quickly installed the update and headed into the forest before the sun went down. Trans­lated with DeepL.com (free version)
