Trichoglossus Haematodus

The rainbow Lorikeet ( Trichoglossus Haematodus ) or as we say in germany Allfarblori is a very colorfull and friendly little bird I met this birds on my last trip to the Canary island Tenerife at the Katandra Treetop. A big birds free fly compound in one of europas best zoos, the Loro Parque. And I only do this kind of pictures when I am on vacation 🙂 The birds there are very handsome For most of the pictures I used my old Sigma 105 macro lens. In the manual mode, because the autofocus is not very quick. Or should I say it is very slow 🙂

The starry sky above

My first try to capture the starry sky above us. Because my area is voll of light polition I tried it on my last holiday in a smal village deep in the bavarianforest. Later I viewed a Light pollution map on the net and found out that the area is also marked with medium polution. It seems there are only a view areas in germany with low or no light polution.

Seagulls at the water prey

A bunch of seagulls hunting over the blue atlantic sea. I met thous gulls on a boat trip over the atlantic ocean from the island of Lanzarote to la Graciosa. They followes out Boat for a while in hope of getting feeded by the tourists. And that happend after a view minutes. They got feeded by tourists with the rests of their Paella.

Während der Überfahrt folgten sie uns eine Weile in der Hoffnung das jemand ein wenig Essen für sie über Bord wirft um sie zu füttern. Am Ende haben sie dann die Reste der Paella bekommen und sind wieder ab gezogen.

Der große Arbersee

The great Arber Lake ( Großer Arbersee) is one of the three lakes at the bavarian forest, and its a legacy of the last ice age. Its an natural reserve and at one side of the sea starts a area calleds Fairytale Forrst. I visit this area this year on a cloudy summerday, walked around the lake and tried to do some landscape pictures.

A Seagull in the air

A bunch of seagulls looking for prey. I met thous gulls on a boat trip over the atlantic ocean from the island of Lanzarote to la Graciosa. The seagull followes our Boat for a while in hope of getting feeded by the tourists. They trow some food for them in the air. That seems to happen frequently, because the gulls were very trustingly.

A beautyfull little squaller

I met this little squaller on my last trip to the canaies istland Tenerife. He made a lot of noise while defending his food against everyone. But he was not afraid of my 105mm macro lens. Yes you heared right, I did all thouse pictures with a macro lens. I am not a bird photographer and I never wanted to be one. But I took the chance and did some portraits of this little squaller.

Der kleine Schreihals hier hat ein ziemliches Theater veranstalltet als ich mich Ihm mit meinem 105er Makro genähert habe. Also entweder wollte er sein Futter verteidigen, oder er mochte mein Objektiv nicht. Vielleicht hat er sich ja auch gedacht, so ein altes Sigma auf einer Nikon, das geht gar nicht 🙂

Egyptian Locust

I found this little creatures at the zoo in Frankfurt am Main. They are in boring glasbox, standing in front of a window. So thats why one of the pictures has a blue background. I stumbeld upon by their name, Egyptian Locust (anacridium aegyptium). Egyptian huh. I thought if they are thous fellows mentiond in the old testament as one of the tenplaques. Imagine, if millions of them coming to your farm…..
