Enthusiastic hobby photographer which didn't get an eye (yet). meaning I make postcard style pictures, so don't expect a lot of creativity or artistic viewing angles. I try show the things as they are (sometimes a little more beautiful)
Follow the "golden rule" and care about technical details, as there are for example: straight horizons, perspectivic and other distortions, noise, sharpness, close to natural color or as I have the color in mind or show the mood.
My motives are a lot: night and available light, natur, landscape, cityscape, architecture, portrait, street, macro and animal life of which is 99,9% wildlife (not a big fan of zoo and animal show pictures). nude/act only very little, as till now not a lot of chances to get many models ( have no $).
I am german, living since over 22 years in Greece. Because of my business I was till now every year for 2 Month in Thailand & Indonesia. That 's why a lot of pictures are from there.
Hope you enjoy my pictures, and I am happy with any kind of critic as i still learning to get better.

I see the eye on the rock,...is the other in the clouds?

Fun image, I see them both.

So cleverly done! A beautiful landscape with gorgeous colors, and a little something extra for fun. :)

I spotted the one in the rock before I read your image. The other one was more well hidden. Very creative imagery and it has your trademark rich colors.

Great soft tone to the shot- thanks for sharing! :-)

LOL! I saw the first one in the rock and it was going to be my comment until I read YOUR comment. Now I see the other in the cloud. Very clever Reinhard! I like the use of the neutral density filter to blur the water. Nicely done!

Very beautiful seascape!! As I live in a landlocked state the sea always fascinates me. I too see Your little creatures, very well done.

This is a fun photo...lots to see. Like to know a little more about the use of a grey filter. I remember the use of filters with film cameras. Is this a digital image with a grey filter? And how much time for this photo?
geckogr
@bmac62 this is the strongest grey filter I have (B&W 58mm 110 ND3.0 1000x) Light reduction by 10 f-stops, The photo I took with the Fuji S6500fd f/7.1 ISO100 20sec, guess it was paired on this shot with a circular polarization filter (another 2 f-stops) On the Fuji I was able (at daylight) to focus throught the filter. The 40D does it too and per liveview possible to see what you take. however in the shade or at dusk/dawn it stays black, so you have to do manual focus and then add the filter.

How joyful - I see them both. Love the big one! The image - amazing. What a marvelous scene!

Spectacular image. This is one reason I want to go back now that I have more experience, to take pictures with a better camera. Thank you for the technical information. Very useful.
