Slow Food instead Fast Food

Slow Food is better than fast food - we all know this truism from our nutrition.
I believe, it is the same with photography. If we shoot quickly, we may shoot a lot of frames. But probable not a lot of quality shots. We are no photographer any more - we become a "cameraman".
To me a true photographer is a much more ambitious aim, than to be someone, who is collecting frames like a human observation cam.
So i made the new year's resolution, to take more time and work harder for a better photographic quality in future. In many cases it is not even very difficult. You just have to be slower, give yourself the chance of having ideas. Just take the time to be a photographer, instead what we call in german a "Knipser" (a snapshooter, a clicker). To get the greed for photographic prey under control, which is probable the reason, that we shoot and shoot and shoot.
The good news is: If i remember this resolution while i am shooting, my results immediately get better. Yesterday i shot a stance - and by no means not for the first time... Usually i make a few frames from the light mood and the forest track beside, when i am out in the wood with my dog.  Usually i do no think a lot about this stance. I just shoot it.
But yesterday i made a break - i was thinking something like: "How can i shoot this stand in a better way?" hmhm "Maybe like a building?" ...  "Maybe from the bottom to the top?" hmhm
So i tried a few new viewes, a new perspective - and here you see the result, i hope you like it:

Very simple, isn't it? ;-) Just be slow, think, try, use another perspective. It works!
These are my wishes for the new year: To remember my resolution and be slower: Slow Photography is better than Fast (Food) Photography!

Domain www.lutz-breden.com Blocked/ Deleted

I have decided to erase my domain www.lutz-breden.com, because i cannot find good reasons for me, to publish images under the roof of this domain. It makes more sense to me, to show images to a smaller circle of friends, for instance in the usual communities like photonet or fotoblurb.
The web is in my eyes getting more and more unsafe and for instance google image search shows me, how often my images have been copied all over the web. So i believe, it is better, to safe money by concentrating myself on my blog and to use the internet in a more private way.
But: From time to time i will show some new images here under this address. You will also find this blog in the usual google web search after typing my name.
