after a long time posting a few spring flower images from our garden finally, our own flowers 🙂
Spring is a great season, when the plants get back to life. And flowers are blooming, birds are loud on the trees. Here are a few images of crocus flowers
I enjoy taking pictures in the winter, but I’ve been lazy lately. When fog freezes on the trees, everything becomes white and beautiful around you. Now the road is another story, but I’ve learned to live with it. Enjoy
Lovely models, they move real slow, and are patient.
Pictures with the built in filter in the Olympus e-pl5
And doing some Monochrome vs. color
Spring is around the corner. While there are ocasional freezes in the evenings, the weather is getting warmer overall. I finally had a chance to take some pictures in the garden, hope you enjoy it.
I haven’t posted for quite some time.. I need to commit more to this blog, but it’s getting harder and harder spare time. I do take pictures, and process them, so here are some Fall pictures, that fit into the season… Hope you enjoy them.
Summer is coming to an end. I’m happy that it’s not 36 degrees celsius, but the sharp drop in temperature to 16 degrees doesn’t feel too good either. It’s rainy, with the sun showing up every few hours. I took the opportunity and took a few pictures in the garden. A spider awaiting lunch arrival, with rain drops in it’s web.
Some pictures towards the end of Summer, it’s been really busy, but I hope you’ll enjoy the following images.
While cactus’s don’t bring too many flowers, and they don’t last too long, maybe 2 days, they are beautiful. I already posted last year about it looking like a cave here
Bees find it, and like them too 🙂
Hope you enjoy it too.
A long overdue post should have been published on the heels of this post. I knew there are little lizards in the garden the trick was finding them, as they are shy creatures. I was lucky enough, and had the patience to wait it out. It came out, and found an earth worm. I got a short video of it posted in this blog post.
Anyhow, here are the images, enjoy
For the first time I tried to make a video of a little lizard eating an earth worm. I sat down waiting for it to show up. An to my luck it found a worm and started eating it right in front of me. So I decided to make a short video. Images will come soon
From last years post Bubos Banka, A.K.A hoopoe Bird The bird returned again this year, though I think this is a smaller one.
It’s the season, can’t stop taking pictures of the flowers 🙂
Starting to run out of titles for those pictures. Enjoy
If there is an advantage of being home sick, is that you have time to process images taken in the garden. One of my favorite times of the year, winter being second favorite when it snows, and it has it’s own feeling. Hope you enjoy
While these images are from more than two weeks, I totally forgot to post them. They were all edited online, and used my zoom 40-150mm lense, with a +2 Macro screw on lens.
I got lucky and noticed some deer at the edge of the forest, while visiting the cemetery. I tried to be as quiet, as possible, and took most of the pictures from the car with out stepping out, the Deer noticed me but didn’t bother.
Last Week I wrote about a great Backup solution, and I started using it, so far uploaded about 10% of my Collection. One drawback I found so far, is that it can not process/interpret EXIF meta tags, or xmp side loaded files. This makes it harder for me to search in huge collections. While it does sort images into albums, and adds an image preview for the album, you can find what you are looking for, still it would be nice to be able to add meta tags to images that are Macro, Flowers, Nature, Family etc… and then run a search to find all Flower images in your collection. Maybe a good tip for the Developers of the Amazon Cloud storage team. Second draw back, I can’t use the share link to embed into this blog for example, I am experimenting with the Image URL
[update: the share links did not work well for me, they seem to be temporary links, will have to experiment with it]
While at it, I went to the forest in Debrecen, and was able to get some great close-ups of ducks, hope you enjoy.
Amazon announced a great plan, specifically for photo’s. At $12/year, and unlimited photo’s, I believe it’s one of the cheapest solutions at this time. There is a desktop client for both Windows and Mac, and mobile clients for iOS and Android. I’ve been using Crashplan unlimited plan because it had a Linux client, but that costs $60/year, and 99.8% of what I backup are photo’s, so I decided to try this new Amazon Cloud Drive solution, it’s free for 3 months anyways. It also supports some RAW formats. While it doesn’t have a Linux client, I can upload via a web browser, it’s not convenient, but once it’s up there, adding new photo’s as I go along will be much easier. It’s a great solution for photographers, and you can also get links to share from the Amazon Cloud Drive. If you don’t have a backup plan for your photo’s this maybe a good option to check out.
