glasses and lack of focus
For the contest Canon vs. Nikon I regularly take part in, I took this series of pictures for my November entry.
These photos here are interesting to me because of the shifting focus.
The photos are taken of a magazine of agriculture and forrest cultur from 1942.

Video at Oceanário
View larger, please. The video is in HD!
We went to Oceanário, Europe's biggest aquarium in Lisbon, and had a great time. The layout and the exhibits were just really well thought out. But the most impressive of all was the center tank that was luring you in with the big showcase windows. Sun fish, Sharks, rays of different types, tuna, swarms of fish and so on.
Here is a first little snippet of video from me. I will view and review all my footage soon and make a longer sequence - also with music - but for now, here is a teaser and a first glimps for you.
Wir waren im Oceanário, Europas größtem Aquarium in Lissabon, und hatten eine tolle Zeit. Der Aufbau und die Ausstellungen waren sehr gut aufgebaut. Aber das Beeindruckendste war das große Becken, das einen mit seinen riesigen Schaufenstern hineinzog. Ein Mondfisch, Haie, Rochen verschiedener Arten, Thunfische, Schwärme kleinerer Fische und so weiter.
Hier ist ein erstes Stückchen meiner Videos. Ich werde mein Material in der nächsten Zeit sichten und aussortieren um eine längere Sequenz zu machen, dann auch mit Musik unterlegt - aber für den Moment ist hier als Anreiz ein erster Blick für Euch.

Portugese Castle and Church
The stromy and windy weather that we partially met in Portugal this month was providing us with really nice HDR-material. I totally love clouds in the sky and apreciate the extra motive in the photos. A totally couldless sky is not so desirable, if you ask me.
Here is a first one of this vacation to Portugal.

Health insurance
Farmer, you need health insurance!
This is from a magazin of agriculture and forrest culture from 1942 together with glasses, I borrowed.
The add I focussed on is about health insurance for farmers and their families. The insurance is named "Bauernhilfe" and rates at 8 Reichsmark per month for the farmer and his family. It was sold by Vereinigte Krankenversicherungs-RG.
The photo was taken for the contest Canon vs. Nikon.

Letters
For the contest Canon vs. Nikon I took pictures of writing, again, in November. Here is one of my results.
"Hingeschrieben mit leichter Hand
Als stünd' es farbig an der Wand
Und zwar mit Worten so verständig
Als würde Gemaltes wieder lebendig"
The passage is from a book of German literature from the 1930s.

A Scotish Castle
This castle in Scotland (Dunottar Castle) explains all of the old tales, really. Too bad that it was closed when we got there. The possible entrance was a smal door along the cliff side and as unspectacular as you would never expect a castle door. A fitting portal for this "cliff clinger".

Vatnajökull - glacier tongues
The glacier tongues of Vatnajökull dominate part of the southern coast of Iceland. The massiveness of this glacier is dawning to you when you travel by glacier tongue after glacier tongue. Here are some impression of this trip we took in summer of 2011. The weather was foggy and cloudy that day. It is not like this everyday.
