haikus*'s photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

I'm living in a small village in the Harz Mountains, Lawer Saxony, Germany.
In my free time I take longish walks with my two dogs and try to be aware of good subjects in the near forest.
I love nature and creating a good picture.

With Photoshop treatment I discovered a new world - and restyled some of my photos.
So the series "Enchanted World" was born and that's my very favourite one.

Meanwhile I got new software:
Photoshop CS3 Extended version 10.0 and Photomatix.
These open up so many new possibilities to postprocess a picture that I learned to use the orton effect...

... and experimentated with a soft lense focuse.

I also love manipulating pictures so that they get an artistic expression.

But what I really want to learn is HDR processing.
Unfortunately I got to know the tip of the iceberg yet.
Time will tell, I hope.

At least there is the storybook "The Secret of My Success" I'm telling the true story of my ex stray dog DJ. Each chapter is illustrated by an aptly picture.
Have fun while reading!

"Sabine hat ein tolles Gesprüh für Bilder, Situationen und Composings. Man muss sie nur einmal beobachtet haben, wie sie mit einer kleinen Digitalkamera die Motive um sich herum erfasst und danach in Szene setzt. Einmalig!!"

"Sabine ... you are so talented and you have an incredible eye that sees the beauty in the world even when it is hidden from most of us. You have shown me the fantasy world that exists around us and even took the time to help me learn how to expose it myself.

Thanks you my friend!!!

"Nature. The tool of her vibes. The key of any of us.
She has got certain eyes for that, never betraying us any time she takes.
Haikus makes us tell a story as much as we have never tried to tell thus."

Dimitrios Chalias says:

"Sabine is a very talended photographer. Watching her uploads is such a joyride. Im finding a lot of inspiration by looking at her excellent photos (espesially the mushroom shots). She also seems to be a very kind lady, and Im proud to have her as a contact.
I really recomend everybody to look at her stream now! You are not going to regret that.

Thanks / Dimitri from Sweden"
