Some outdoor pics with my new cam

I am no critic of photography - but I know I look at many of your pictures and just have to say WOW and stare for awhile. I think it is often because of the camera angle maybe? They are just stunning and make me stop and look, wondering why some photos are so appealing and what stories they are telling... I suppose that is what makes you a good photograher!!

Kirsten - you WOW me with every pic you take. I've never seen a bad one yet!! I wish I had your talent.

Beautiful pictures, Kirsten. Especially the first four. You must be happy with your new camera, although with the other one you got some good pictures too.

Thank you for your comments everyone! Well, I still need a lot of practice with the new camera, though. It may not show up in the pictures, but in their original size, you can see that there's a shallow depth of field. Need to learn to improve that.

And speaking of angles: I'm never sure about those, have the feeling that I need to improve my skills there, too. Guess I'm going to take some lessons in dslr photography next spring.

Is that a gravestone in picture 3?

No, not a gravestone, but a boundary stone. It's marking the Hessian/Lower Saxonian border (two German federal states).

Wow thats stunning! I love fall! I've always wanted to go to Germany. Those are taken in Germany correct?

[Kirsten]

Thanks!

Those are taken in Germany correct?

Yes, they are. In Hann. Muenden, Lower Saxony, which is right in the middle of Germany.
