12 days ago I started playing Steem Monsters. Although I only played with the cards from the Starter Set in the beginning, I was able to rise in rank pretty fast. I also managed to get a booster pack with

So far I have always managed without a remote shutter release when photographing. If I didn't want to blur a longe exposure shot, I simply set a short timer. Even if I wanted to be in the photo myself,

Today I tried to move a flashlight in such a way that a ball of light appears on the photo. But I think I need to practice a little more. I haven't managed to get an even ball yet. But in the first shot,

For my photos today I glued a fiberglass bundles with tape in front of a flashlight. In the first picture I pulled the fibre bundle through the picture in a snake-like movement. With the other two pictures

Yesterday I didn't tell you the trick that leads to this blue glow yet. I would like to do this now. For the photos I used a blue glowing electroluminescence cable. I moved this cable slowly in front of

Also today I was busy again with Lightpainting and took the following photos. The result reminds me somehow of blue flames, especially in the third picture. Do you have any idea what I used this time?

Today I experimented with another luminous object, a Fidget Spinner with built-in LEDs. Through the rotation and the movement in front of the camera I created the spiral light patterns on the following

Now that the dark season has begun, I will be working with Lightpainting among other things. Today I made the first attempts with glowing LEDs on a string. The following pictures came out. Jetzt wo die

Yesterday, at the time of sunset, the direction of the wind was right, so that a recently erected crane was aligned parallel to the horizon. Thus it forms a beautiful contrast to the clouds illuminated

Yesterday I got a golden card as a quest reward among other things. This card alone is worth as much as I paid for the starter set. This card is only available 303 times and is currently not sold under

If you only have level 1 cards you should not move up to the higher leagues too early, because it makes life unnecessarily hard for you. But I only noticed my mistake when I was already in the middle of

For a long time I was able to resist the temptation, but yesterday I got caught by this monster fever. In the beginning it was only @oliverschmid's contributions that drew my attention to Steem Monsters,

Today I have been working with the filters in Affinity Photo and created a picture in the style of a pencil drawing. I already photographed the castle some time ago and rediscovered it today while searching

Now 500 days have passed since I created my account here. After I wrote in my 365 days post how I found Steemit I would like to report today briefly what has happened since then. Nun sind bereits 500 Tage

Today I have once again dealt with the visualization of data. My goal was to visualize all accounts with a higher reputation. As a lower limit I took my own reputation level. I scaled the profile picture

The day before yesterday I managed to photograph a rainbow again. After a rain shower I saw a small piece of rainbow on the horizon. Since the rainbow was slowly fading again, I quickly took some pictures

I took the following photos a few weeks ago during a fireworks display in Paderborn. Die folgenden Fotos habe ich vor einigen Wochen bei einem Feuerwerk in Paderborn aufgenommen.

The 1,100,000th Steemit account were created yesterday. The growth curve has flattened somewhat since reaching the one million mark, but in the meantime a further 100,000 accounts have been added. Das

Yesterday evening I forgot to turn off the light in the living room before I opened the window wide for ventilation. The light lured some flying insects into the apartment. A slightly larger insect flew

Last night there was a total eclipse of the moon. Luckily there was a clear sky here in Paderborn, so I could take some nice photos of the blood moon. Gestern Nacht gab es eine totale Mondfinsternis. Zum
