Snowberries on bare winter branches

Questions about the subject, usage, technology & more

Are snowberries (Symphoricarpos) poisonous to humans?

Snowberries (Symphoricarpos albus) are mildly toxic to humans. Their white berries contain saponins and chelidonine, which can cause nausea, vomiting, and dizziness if eaten in larger quantities. Children are at greater risk due to their lower body weight. Birds, however, tolerate the berries well and feed on them throughout winter.

How can this photo be used?

With a resolution of 5444 x 3649 pixels, this stock photo suits large-format print applications as well as digital media. The commercial license on Kataloop allows use in, for example, nature magazines, calendar productions, plant catalogs, or advertising campaigns with a winter nature theme. The image also works as a background for text overlays or packaging design in the nature and garden product sector.

What mood does this photo convey?

The dark, thread-like branches against the cool blue-grey background create a subdued, almost melancholic stillness. The white snowberries provide a clear, bright accent without disrupting the quiet of the image. The characteristic film grain of the analog photograph reinforces the timeless, understated quality of the scene, giving it a documentary feel rather than a decorative one.

What equipment was used to capture this photo?

The delicate winter twigs and matte white berries in this analog photo were captured with a Minolta X-700 and a Makinon Auto 135mm f/2.8. The telephoto lens at wide aperture creates a clear separation between the sharp subject and the blurred background, isolating the snowberries effectively. The Minolta X-700 is considered one of the most refined manual SLR bodies of the 1980s.

What visual style or trend does this photo represent?

Analog photography has seen growing demand in the stock sector for years, as brands and editorial teams increasingly prefer authentic, less polished images over digitally smoothed shots. This winter image also serves the trend toward slow-living aesthetics and minimalist nature motifs, which are sought after in media covering sustainability, mindfulness, and seasonality.

What is Schlachtensee known for?

As the image shows, Schlachtensee in winter reveals a sparse, quiet character: bare branches, muted tones, and still waterside vegetation define the scene. Located in the southwest of Berlin, Schlachtensee is one of the city's cleanest lakes and a year-round destination for nature lovers, walkers, and photographers looking for calm away from urban noise.

What is Berlin known for?

Berlin is far more than its famous center: the city has one of the largest woodland shares of any European metropolis, and especially in the southwest, around Zehlendorf and Steglitz, quiet natural pockets like Schlachtensee can be found. Berlin stock images often capture this contrast between urban energy and still nature, making the city a compelling source for creatives, media agencies, and editorial teams alike.
