Schuztengel von Jürgen Goertz

Very interesting fountain with quite a few different sculptures in it. The "Schutzengel" "Guardian Angel" looks really cool so I thought I would share it with those who may never get to see in person. This particular sculpture was completed in 2007. The church in the background is the Saint Laurentius Catholic Church which was built between 1745 and 1751.

St. George Monastery

St. George Monastery

This is a photo of a monastery located on one of the Princes Islands in Istanbul, Turkey. It was quite a hike up to this place but the view was awesome.

"Garten der schönen Melodie" - Stuttgart, Germany

Great little park in the hills looking over the center of Stuttgart, Germany. The clouds were perfect for me to practice my auto-bracketing function. This allowed me to upload them into Photomatix Pro 4.2 which merges the pictures and provides you various presets to choose from for the final product. I will definitely go back to beat the crowds to get some uninterrupted pictures.

B&W Test

Another photo of my test subject. This time I changed to B&W in the camera and adjusted it in Photoshop. I am having fun taking photos and I can't wait until I finish college so I can dedicate more time to it. But until then I will dedicate as much time as I can to honing my photography skills.

Practicing High Dynamic Range (HDR) Photography

Practicing with HDR and refining in Photoshop. This shot of the New Stuttgart Castle ( das Neue Schloss ) was a quick hand-held two shot HDR snap from my Nikon D5100. I need get the latest version of Photoshop in order to make better adjustments but I'm waiting until I get close to finishing my degree (Student Discount) because they might come out with a newer version by the beginning of next year.
