February wrap-up

It's been a quiet unproductive month for me due to the meteorological circumstances and the start of my time-consuming civilian service ... BUT there are some photos I still want to show! You might already know them from my flickr or RedBubble pages. If you haven't been there yet, check them out ;-).

So here are the photos, enjoy ...

The first photos show a weather effect we don't have very often in Austria - freezing rain. Due to the sub-zero temperatures of raindrops they form a layer of ice when hitting surfaces like branches and leafs for example ... and leave some really nice patterns & "ice sculptures". For instance the "floating" ice drop in the first photo.

Major update

Here it is! The gigantic post summarizing all my work during December... If you have been checking out my deviantART and flickr profiles, you might already know some of those photos.

Let's start with an amazing photo I was able to shoot on November 30. It was a beautiful sunny day with fresh powder snow.

featuring: Nero

Today was such a typical day to stay at home. It's rainy and cold and gray outside. That's what I think and that's what Nero is obviously thinking. He has been lying around all day, just moving from one corner of the couch to the other ...

So I decided to grab my gear and take some photos while he was sleeping. Unfortunately, just one of the sleeping pics did turn out great and the flash disturbed Nero's sleep. That, in fact, was very fortunate because I took three of the best photographs I've ever made of him ...

Practice, practice, practice and sometimes messing around - that's what improves skills. Since messing around is somehow more fun I just jumped through the garden and tried to achieve some good macro shots. The results are not thaaat great but still, I think they're worth showing them ...

digging around in the archives ...

So here's the story: I used to organize my photos with ACDSee Pro 3 (excellent software, I like it more than Adobe Bridge or Lightroom). Recently my external HDD crashed, gladly I was able to restore almost all of my data (just ~12 photos are lost).
Anyway! Now I've got to reorganize my whole archive and stumbled upon some older photos from 2008 to early 2010 and now I feel like sharing them :-) ...

BLOG STARTED

Ok, so this is just my attempt to create a small nice showcase for my photos.
I'm into DSLR-photography for 2 years now and my skills keep improving.
My equipment currently consists of

• Sony a200. 
• Sony 18-70mm (kit lens) 
• Tamron 70-300mm

Let's continue with some examples of my work! I chose them because they show the three fields of photography I like most: Live concerts, nature and animals .
So here we go:

Bloodshed Remains (great Austrian Hardcore-Punk band)

Upper Austria's nature

Nero (my cat)

Since I've finished school now, I've got plenty of time to practice and show off my "masterpieces"! If you like some of them, don't hesitate to leave a comment ;-)

Stay tuned for nice photos and other things!
