While I’d had in mind to post these pictures in my own ‘elements‘ gallery – demonstrating that I am more at home with wood than with glass – I realized that today’s pictures also show what we saw on our walk in the nearby Stadtwald (“city forest”). So I decided to share these in the context of Jo’s Monday Walks. And so everybody can see where we were, I included the bottom picture.
[Although I am not into tech talk, I would have been grateful for this kind of information when I was trying to make up my mind about using Sony’s Alpha 6000 camera with Nikon AIS lenses – so here we go: The first picture was made with aforementioned camera and a Nikkor 85/2 AIS, the rest of them with my favourite lens, the Nikkor 28/2.8 AIS. They seem to quite work well with the camera. Though focusing manually can be a hassle with the small EVF, it is also fun.]

Always something to photograph in a woodland and you had some lovely sunshine streaming through the trees. Lovely texture details here.

Wunderschöne Farben und Strukturen! Liebe Grüße Anette
Vielen Dank, Anette!
Incredible pictures! You found a certain vision. The last picture summarizes the set. Perfect.
“Finding a certain vision” is actually my goal (although the process isn’t always entirely rational), so thank you for your kind comment!
Fabulous close-ups, Tobias! I love wood but it’s difficult to capture such good shots. Many thanks for the link. 🙂
You’re welcome. And thank you, Jo, for providing us with a theme I still think is one of the smartest around – constantly reminding us to pick up a camera and walk. (The feet are a photogtaphers most important tool, as some people say. I tend to agree.)
