The Flickr Prime Image Generatr

Wiiiieee oft bin ich schon durch unsere heimische Wälder spaziert auf der Suche nach schönen Fotomotiven. Manchmal ist das gar nicht so einfach, denn nicht jeder Wald ist ein "Bilderbuchwald" mit einzeln dastehenden, charaktervollen Bäumen. Meist sind da einfach irgendwelche Bäume mit Stamm, Blättern, Ästen, Nachbar-Stamm, Nachbar-Blättern, Nachbar-Ästen, alles durcheinander, dazwischen auf dem Boden, Büsche, abgebrochen Äste und allerlei Gestrüpp. Für die Natur wertvoll, für den Fotografen eher weniger...
Umso mehr erfreut es dann, wenn an einem regnerischen Spätsommertag, die schwüle Nebelstimmung wie durch ein Wunder von ein paar Sonnenstrahlen durchflutet wird.

How often have I wandered through our local woods in search of beautiful photo subjects? Sometimes it’s not that easy, for not every forest is a "picture-book forest" featuring solitary, characterful trees. Usually, it’s just a jumble of trees—trunks, leaves, and branches all mixed up with neighboring trunks, leaves, and branches—with bushes, broken limbs, and all manner of undergrowth scattered across the forest floor. Valuable for nature, perhaps, but less so for the photographer...
It is all the more delightful, then, when—on a rainy late-summer day—that sultry, misty atmosphere is miraculously pierced by a few rays of sunlight.

Fujifilm X-T5, XF90/2 - Definitely the prime lens which spends far too little time on my camera, even though it delivers wonderful image quality. However, for many portraits, 90mm is a bit too tight on an APS-C sensor. For standard portraits that include the surroundings, I prefer the 56mm lens. That said, telephoto focal lengths are particularly interesting when you want to create a sense of compressed space—like in this image, where the background is actually just a monument, but takes on a completely different look due to the tight framing and cropping.

So I had this prime 50mm and didn’t use it basically at all, also didn’t use this camera for a long time. Fiddled with the image options in camera, adjusted parameters to my liking, so it looks natural, and now I feel like I have new camera and I love it!
