Details of nature

I see beauty in the mess that old tree trunks can create.
At closer inspection there are details that are intriguing, almost man made.


Vivitar 28mm f2.0   @f4.0   1/500sec

High tide tangled some grass around this old trunk. It almost seems that somebody has carefully knotted the straw around the bleached wood, but it is indeed the waves that managed to tangle it.


Industar-61 50mm f2.8 @f4  1/15sec

The insects have been working under the bark of the fallen tree; now the weather has exposed their tunnelling.

The orange bag

It sticks out, bright.
Not originally intended as a camera bag, with a custom insert it now serves very well for a kit of a couple of camera bodies and several lenses.
Ah yes, those are Micro Four Thirds cameras, not big monster DSRLs :-)

Around the city:


Vintage manual lens: Nikkor 105mm f2.5 rangefinder  @f5.6  1/500sec

Early morning beach walk on Xmas day.


Nikkor 105mm f2.5 rangefinder  @f2.8   1/3000sec

On the golf course, trying to get a low angle shot.


Industar-61,  50mm f2.8  @f5.6  1/30sec

Moon-rise at the beach, again.


Sigma 60mm f2.8 DN  @f4  1/10sec

The stretchy dress dress and the camera bag seem to live in symbiosis: best combo for outdoor warm weather photography.
