Friday Photo Favorite: Istanbul Sistern

On our Easter trip to Istanbul, we saw the Sistern... built during the 6th century.  A fabulous place for photos.

Note:  FC Bayern plays Chelsea tomorrow for the Champions League title, and the game is in Munich!  It's already rowdy here.  Good luck to FCB and have a nice weekend.

Friday Photo Favorite: 1st Hummingbird of the Season

We were in the Charleston, SC area this week, and my mom put out the hummingbird feeders. This little guy was the first taker.

I half expected he would come back about 3 seconds after I gave up waiting with the camera, but luckily he let me get a few shots, albeit with a pretty wide lens. Next time, I'll bring the telephoto lens and enjoy a relaxing morning coffee + bird stalking. 

Friday Photo Favorite: Puppies!

I'm so tired right now and a bit stressed out. Trying to get everything done before deadlines next week. 

For anyone else who's having a rough week....PUPPIES!!

Cute, fluffy sweet Husky puppies. 

I feel better already. 

Friday Photo Favorite: The Commute

We've both been working too much lately (as you can see from the emptiness of Herr J's train home). 

One more rough week before a big work deadline, then we're off to arrange the last wedding details!

TGIF!!!

Friday Photo Favorite: Olympiapark Sunrise

This one is an HDR photo from an early morning trip to Munich's Olympiapark. 

I love the colors and light in this photo, as well as the winding path up to the lookout where we experimented with our tripods. It gives me a warm and peaceful feeling when I look at it. We have this one in rotation on our digital frame.

Introducing....

...Friday Photo Favorite 

We're having so much fun exporing through the lenses of our cameras and learning more about photography, editing, and the world. 

So we've decided to bring you a favorite photo each week. Maybe a pretty photo or a great memory or just something cool (and possibly unrealistic) we've made on the computer. 

This week - since it feels like winter again - a beautiful shot Herr J took one cold morning when he was getting SCUBA certified. This was the little lake north of Munich where they did their training dives.
