My side of the camera

How world looks through my personal viewfinder.

How much sweetness can you bear?

,

Hello friends!

Long time no see, huh? :wink:
I was somewhat fed up with posting and working on images. Though I wasn't fed up with making photos, so I have lots on stock I need to denoise and scale and so on. Dunno if I will try to catch up with them.

But however, yesterday I had a photoshooting with three boys and a girl, and the pictures were so nice I couldn't help myself and prepared them for release. I picked 77 pictures out of of 167. These 77 remaining ones were so cute, I couldn't take out any more pictures, so here you go with all of them.

Happy new year 2007

Hey friends!

I wish you a happy new year 2007!

I hope you had a lot of fun while partying into the new year and I hope all your wishes and hopes will come true!

But there were some sad issues, too. Again a lot of people died because of alcohol, aggressivity and pure stupidity.

Here I have a very exotic case of new year accident.

See this screenshot (german only) from http://www.netzeitung.de/vermischtes/485944.html:

(Translation of the selected paragraph: "After a new year party of the gun club in Fresendorf in Bad Doberan County, two car drivers both had a deadly accident each on their own. One of them had a breath alcohol level of 1.55 promille." I hope I translated correctly, though...)

So I just keep sitting here and desperately asking myself if this level can be true. Are they really sure the dead victim did take enough breath before blowing into the breathalyzer??
:yikes:

Hey if you have any explanation how this paragraph could be meant, don't hesitate to comment...

Picture puzzle [solved]

Hi friends!

Today I have some new neat pictures for you to enjoy which at the same time are a picture puzzle.

[Update: sprogger already solved the puzzle! It's broccoli romanesco! :wink: ]

So dear friends: Please try to guess what this one could be:

Just comment directly on the picture. I'm really curious what you think about that. :smile:

A note: Basti, you're not allowed to participate here, because of your insider knowledge :wink: But as usual, your comments on the pictures itself (without mentioning what it is) are always very well appreciated!

On to the hints:
It's not an artificial object which is proven by the existance of this resident:


Have fun or at least enjoy the pictures!

Sunset over Karlsruhe

,

Dear friends,

I want to call your attention to a new image in my album "My selections" which I personally like very much.

It shows a sunset I took last wednesday out of my office window at 6 p.m.

I just made the dark parts a little bit darker so they show a full black color, everything else is untouched.

Hope you like it as much as I do.

Blackacidevil - finest electro from germany

,

Hello dear friends!

Today I want to share music with you!

I want to introduce André who is a kind colleague of mine. His electro project "Blackacidevil" at www.blackacidevil.de (site coming soon) on one hand is just a non-commercial spare time project, but on the other hand it is produced extremely professional and does in no way need to hide behind the well-known commercial artists of this music scene!

His first album "Leiden" ranges over a huge musical spectrum. There you can find slow melancholic ballads with piano and strings being in fine sync with evocative Dark Wave tracks, going over to very powerful EBM rythms and even touching the edge of Rave as well.

Feel free to join me on this musical journey of fine synthetic sounds and download the whole album for free at dl.blackacidevil.de

New photo set: Nature at the Altrhein

, , , ...

Hi friends!

Here is the second part of my photo shooting in Oberhausen-Rheinhausen.

After the bird park visit, we moved over to an anabranch of the Altrhein. On its watersides I was able to make some stunning pictures which I personally like very much.

I hope, you like some of them, too!

Have a lot of fun and don't forget to comment what you like or dislike on the pictures!
