Sunday Glitter
Explored May 1st, 2023
Another boat on the Spree, the "Berolina" :) This is also the first boat of 2023, taken at a fabulous (and surprisingly sunny) Easter Sunday photowalk where magrit k. and I met m_laRs_k for the first time. I'm starting with my "postcard picture" from our photowalk, duly processed and enhanced for Sliders Sunday. We had mainly focused on Architecture, or, as Mathias puts it, architeXture, but in the late afternoon, when we walked along the Spree, I couldn't resist taking another "boat with sights" photo. The sights here are, from left to right, the John F. Kennedy House, Berlin Hauptbahnhof (Berlin Central Station) which frames the Berlin Cube, and the Moltke Bridge.
The main sliding action here was to add some clouds to the bright blue sky because this type of image works better with clouds, I think. There had been a few fluffy clouds, left over from the rainy days before Easter, at the beginning of our photowalk, but they were gone soon, too soon, I might add. These are Photoshop clouds because, unfortunately, I couldn't find a photo in my archive with the "right" clouds for the light situation we had that afternoon. Additional filters used in Color Efex were: Brilliance and Warmth, Reflector Efex silver, Detail Extractor, and Skylight.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, and wishing you a wonderful 1st of May :)
