Demon Fire. Content Warning.
The guitar riffs slice through the rain like an army of roaring demons, and there I stand, right in the middle of the crumbling cemetery, ready for the wildest night of my life. In front of me, the zombie rises, its slimy remains looking like someone dumped a chocolate pudding into a cobweb. But I don’t care; the music drives me, and every step feels like an explosion.

Christmas Ain't Christmas...
Christmas? Nah, I don’t do that anymore. And before you start picturing me as some Grinch in the corner plotting to ruin the holiday for everyone else, let me explain. It’s not about stealing anyone’s joy. It’s about making a choice that feels honest for me. Christmas just doesn’t hold the same magic it once did, and over the years, I’ve found plenty of reasons to step away from the whole affair.

The Black Mist
Thick mist crawled out of the Hagener Forest, a harbinger of doom that hung over the village of Woldenhorn. The leaves rustled in the icy autumn wind of 1623, whispering like the voices of lost souls. The men dragged a frail woman, wrapped in rags, across the muddy ground, which gurgled under their heavy boots.

Sleepy Joe
The moon shone pale and cold over the deserted street. A lone streetlight flickered at the end of the sidewalk, as if its light would soon give out. Amidst the silence of the night, broken only by the occasional rustling in the bushes, a boy sat on an old wooden crate. His name was Joe, and he was twelve years old, but in his mind, he was younger. The people in the village called him “Sleepy Joe.” It always hurt him a little, but he knew they didn’t mean it in a bad way. At least, that’s what his mother said. She understood everything.

How to plan a Nature-Wildlife-PhotoShooting Trip?
Some say it is impossible to plan such a trip; others claim it won't work without precise and targeted planning. My experience says that both sides are absolutely right. It is essential to plan every photo-shooting as well as possible; however, for nature and wildlife photography, it becomes an exciting and daunting task. Paradoxically, no matter how well you have planned everything, at the end, it often depends on how well you embrace the unplanned. The more experienced you become, the easier it will be to combine the right balance between preparation and spontaneity.

Birds in Flight
“In order to see birds it is necessary to become a part of the silence.” - Robert Lynd The days are getting longer again; the temperatures are rising to a pleasant level and we are spending more time outside. Every morning, the songs of birds wake us up; bees are buzzing around and even the first ladybirds have already appeared. The nature is awakening to new life and is just waiting to be discovered by us again. And, of course, we photographers looking forward to capture great shots.
