Selfie on the Pier
Autumn (and people) at the lake
Another one from my recent visit to beautiful Lake Tegel. When I took the photo, I thought that the guy standing by the boat was taking photos of the glistening autumn lake, but when I zoomed in I saw that he was actually taking a selfie in front of the boat. Well, what did I expect ;) Maybe this was his boat, maybe it was a boat he'd like to own, or maybe just a boat he wanted to show off with. The sunlight on that day had been so strong that the guy actually seemed to merge with it; to me it looks as if he had just emerged from Scotty's transporter beam ;)
Processing infos: This is an HDR made of a three image exposure bracketing, images were combined in HDR Efex Pro. The 7-14 mm is said to be quite prone to flares and also not to handle strong light sources too well, and since I was shooting almost directly into the sun I was curious (and not too confident) about the result. But to my surprise neither were the flaries too overpowering (I actually quite like those purple "spectres"), nor did the sun(star) look that bad at all.
Fun upload for Tuesday, since this image doesn't really fit into any "day themed" groups such as Window Wednesday, Monochrome Thursday, or Fence Friday; Sliders Sunday maybe, but I didn't want to wait until next Sunday ;)
Have a beautiful rest of the week, dear Flickr friends!
