Yesterday I visited the Lake "Weikerlsee" near Linz together with Stefan for some wildife photography in the afternoon. I stayed half of the day at home and watched a movie and did some reading today when Stefan called me and asked if I want to meet at the "Weiterklsee" for some wildlifephotography of the great crested grebes there. So I met him there and we sat down for some hours now in the late afternoon for some bird photography in the setting sun. The light was great but the birds didn't came as close as I wished for. There were not only great crested grebes but also some ducks, a grey heron and a Kingfisher that I managed to take pictures of. I will show you some pictures of the kingfisher in a future post here on Hive.

I think the setting sun produced a pretty nice light situation and although it was already a bit dark I am happy with the outcome. I lightened up the pictures a bit for more drama.
