Kees' photos with the keyword: sony dsc-r1

You must help me! I simply can’t decide to which one of your groups I should post this: to “ Foot & Drink ” or “ Funny Me ”??? It was the day after I got my first and only digital camera, so please bear with my inept experiments (and forgive me for not having thrown all of them away). Strangely, the camera’s counter started somewhere between 3- and 4-thousand, and it was bought new... After it ran out of four digits (“DSC09999”), it continued with “DSC00001” instead of “DSC10000”. Some things I’ll never be able to understand.

For the first time, this year, our garden seemed to move when we entered it: sunbathing lizards everywhere sought a safe hiding place under stones and bushes. Only one remained, apparently wanting to show off his beauty. I love my camera, a Sony DSC-R1, but it isn’t well equipped for this kind of thing. With the right camera/lens, or in a zoo, it won’t be too hard to shoot more spectacular pictures. Considering the circumstances, however, I’m quite happy with our little photo session... A close-up of his face. Bavarian Wildlife, Part One and Part Three.

Arguably, I’ve been a lizard in a former life. I’ve no doubt that this is a good lizard who recognizes a distant relative. Taken in our garden (Sony DSC-R1; 1/160s, f4.8/71.5mm, ISO 400, RAW). View this for the same lizard in another pose.

This afternoon, the government issued a storm warning and advised non-residents to go home early. Which I did (as you see).

This fresco with a Benedictine allegory was painted on the ceiling of one of the halls of Benediktbeuern abbey. It was ill lit, so this picture is much clearer than you’d see the actual painting. No tripod was used (usually, tripods aren’t allowed, and I hadn’t one with me, anyway...), and the result was much too dark. With iPhoto, adjusting brightness and contrast, I got a nice result, however. I had a 20x20 cm print made and, miraculously, it appeared to be much sharper than I deserved...

... und heute. Es ist immer dasselbe ... LANGWEILIG! ... and today. It’s always the same ... BORING!

Teil vom Beitrag Spaziergänge durch Icking: die Ortsdurchfahrt. Part of the thread Spaziergänge durch Icking: die Ortsdurchfahrt.

Um dieses Photo hinzubekommen, mußte ich mich auf den Rücken legen. Was man nicht alles macht, damit Icking ins rechte Licht gerückt wird...

Gestern... Yesterday...

Our stairs. The wall on the right doesn’t belong there, but was built to divide our space from the doctor’s. The tiles on the floor are original, the front door isn’t.

In Icking erinnert wenig mehr an den Lechnerhof: einige dekorative Elemente sind in der inzwischen geschlossenen Wirtschaft “Stephanie” am Isarweg verbaut worden, und es geht noch immer eine Treppe vom Lechnergelände zum S-Bahnhof, die manche, denen die Wenzbergschleife oder die Treppe am Rathaus zu weit ist, als Abkürzung nehmen.

Around 1900, this used to be the place where writers and artists gathered. They don’t do so anymore –at least, we were about the only customers when I shot this. The interior has been left unchanged since the early 20th C.

For another shot look here
