Sunset over the Hradčany in Prague.

 

Info

 

Prague Castle (Czech: Pražský hrad) is a castle in Prague where the Kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman Emperors and presidents of Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic have had their offices. The Bohemian Crown Jewels are kept here. Prague Castle is one of the biggest castles in the world (according to Guinness Book of Records the biggest ancient castle) at about 570 meters in length and an average of about 130 meters wide.

Technique/Processing

 

I shot this one, using the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 lens. At first i shot a normal photo, but i realized it didn't look good, because of the troubled waters of the Vltava.

 

But then i remembered that i miraculously did not forget to pack my B+W ND110 ND filter, so i screwed it onto the lens and by that, could use an exposure of 15 seconds, which created the silky water you can see here. Oh, and i also had to carry my tripod around the whole day, but hey, 2kgs more or less don't matter ;)

 

Moreover, the cloud moved during those 15 seconds and thus it seems to encircle the sun.

The last day of Songkran festival is here.

 

Thailand is wet and ready for a new year.

   

This man here is working on the Erawan Shrine in Bangkok.

 

The most important shrine for the thais and you can believe me, tons of flowers, candles and incense sticks are laid down all day by the thai Buddhists, coming to this place to pray for good business and success.

 

So this man is doing an important job, he grabs all flowers and the other stuff and making space for new ones.

 

I like the hand of him, I catched in this shot.

Let's move from Prague to Munich :)

After Prague we went to Munich on short notice

  

Station Georg-Brauchle-Ring of the U1 line.

 

Info

 

Georg-Brauchle-Ring is an U-Bahn station in Munich on the U1. It is located below the Georg-Brauchle-Ring, part of Munich's Mittlerer Ring ring road system. It opened on 18 October 2003. Artist Franz Ackermann produced two coloured walls for the station entitled The Great Journey and consisting of 400 panels, each wall weighing 30 tons

  

Technique/Processing

 

Handheld - only 1/15s this time - so no problem at ISO 1000 - i really love the ISO Auto function of the D700 - you can concentrate on the subject instead of having to adjust your exposure/ISO every time.

 

Developed from RAW in Photoshop - one exposure for the lights (especially the clocks - they were completely white out of cam) and one for the rest and then combined them by layer masking.

 

A little contrast added, by applying a slight S-curve.

 

After that i added some 'glamour glow' to the lights on the ceiling and their reflections to make them look softer.

Cerastes are small snakes, averaging less than 50 cm in length, but are relatively stout in appearance. The head is broad, flat and distinct from the neck. The head is covered with tubercularly keeled scales, which usually number 15 or more across, and a supraorbital horn may be present over each eye in some species. The snout is short and wide and the eyes, which are set well forward, are small to moderate in size. The body is short, stout and cylindrically depressed. The tail is short and tapers abruptly behind the vent.

 

From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerastes_(genus)

 

This snake is called in Libya the snakes of horns and it's very venom according to our guide because it's bites him before :).

Sometimes we only live for the here and now. Sometimes we're lonely. Sometimes we feel we need a place to be grounded or fly away again.

 

I feel rain pouring down. I wait to rot away. Live again, here forever. The spiral never ends. Run away, live again, here forever, the spiral never ends.

One of my favourite walks is through the port, watching the names and origin ports of ships, exotic names for me: Varna, Odessa, Vladivostok, Nassau... It makes me dream of far travels abroad. Today we had this fine collection of vessels in the closest dock to the city. The three-masted ship is a replica of the spanish flagship at Trafalgar, it is permanently anchored in Málaga and used as a floating restaurant.

Taken this morning at Sheerness on the isle of Sheppey when with Mark (code.dude) we got there at 5.15 the actual sunrise was spectacular!

One quick post before I take a Shinkansen to Tokyo, another train to Narita, and a 10-hour flight back home.

 

I enjoyed your beauty so much, Kyoto.

Some weeks ago, I made a weekend trip to Las Vegas. Felt a bit like in the movie "21" while flying from Boston to Las Vegas for the week end ;-)

 

I do not need to tell anyone that this is an unbelievable place. Especially for photographers it is great, because everywhere are lights in different shades and colors. The buildings are made to impress and they do. In the next time, I will post continuously some of my best shots and there are still a lot, which are waiting for post-production.

 

One of my favorite casinos is New York, New York. I think it is awesome to rebuild a city in city.

last summer this was one of my best session. It's a one hour motorbike ride to the top of the pass "Furkajoch". To drive be motorbike has beside the driving fun also the advantege to park the vehicle everywhere you want. Especially with the narrow mountain roads you could spare your nerve. My motivation here was to capture the sunrise. So I had to start early in the darkness. But I was some minutes to late the sun was rising, you could see it in the lower picture. Clouds gaves me the advantage to enjoy a further sunrise.

 

At this location I was fascinated on the round hill in foreground. To have such an element in the near is interesting for composition exercises. Because when you move some steps to the side, the view will change totally. This gives you the advantage to arrange the scene in a quick way.

 

Could you see the hiding Easter Bunny?

Welcome to Tad Yuang waterfalls. Located on the Bolaven Plateau, which was formed by an ancient volcano in Southern Laos, one of the most scenic spots in the region. Going downward on a paved trail is the magnificent dual torrent and multi-tiered waterfalls of Tad Yuang. It falls into a deep pool surrounded by lush vegetation leading to a thick forest. There were no other people at that time we were there. The falls themselves drop far below. Beyond the waterfalls stretches the extensive jungle of Dong Hua Sao, one of the 18 National Biodiversity Conservation Areas in the country. Open since 2000, trekking trails are the best and perhaps the only way to get into the park. Dong Hau Sao is home to a healthy population of tigers, though you are more likely to see monkey, gigantic butterflies and in the wet season, dozens of great horn-bills who like to hang out at the bottom of the falls. Thanks to its location on an elevation of 1300 meters and surrounded by clouds forests, temperatures are much lower than elsewhere in Laos. A cloud forest, is a tropical evergreen highland moist forest characterized by a high incidence of low-level cloud cover, usually at the canopy level. Within cloud forests, much of the condensation is in the form of fog drip, where fog condenses on tree leaves and then drips onto the ground below. Even in the hottest period of the year, March and April, temperatures in the daytime usually do not reach over 27 Celsius, while at night it cools down considerably. Starting July, when rain starts to fall more regularly, temperatures drop and a sweater in addition to a rain coat is recommended. Do definitely pack warm clothes when staying with us between November and February.

 

Photo of Tad Yuang waterfall of Dong Hua Sao National park near Paksong - Southern Laos - taken during our trekking. This fall is located up to 1300 meters above sea level, with the cool climate, abundant rainfall and rich volcanic soil. My son BieJee and daughter Samantha are going downward on a paved trail towards this magnificent viewpoint near one of the falls. A place where you don't stay dry. A beautiful view on the edge of a hill overlooking the mist-covered jungle mountainside waterfalls. The real beauty of cloud forest. An endless flow of water is created and if windy, the mist sprays over the remote mountains into the rainforest and created this misty and beautiful atmosphere. Tropical cloud forests are a rare type of evergreen mountain forest found in tropical areas where local climatic conditions cause cloud and mist to be regularly in contact with the forest vegetation. These forests support ecosystems of distinctive floristic and structural form and contain a large number of the world’s endemic and threatened species.The endless cool breeze helps capture a full taste of nature. It is a ideal spot for tourists to relax and enjoy nature.

 

Welkom bij de Tad Tuang waterval in het nationale park van Dong Hua Sao. Er nog veel meer watervallen in het park te zien vooral in de regentijd. De krachtige watervallen geven een regen van nevel af. Er sluierde een mysterieuze nevel door de regenwoud tijdens onze wandeltocht. Je snuift de frisse berglucht en kunt genieten van het buiten zijn. De ervaring van het in de jungle zijn met de vele geluiden is al uniek. Heerlijk omgeven door intiem mysterieuze nevel. Het hooggelegen en dus koele Tad Fane gaat waarschijnlijk deel uitmaken van het 6000 vierkante km grote beschermde natuurgebied Dong Hua Sao. Met een gids verkennen we het schitterende natuurgebied en maken een tocht langs verschillende woeste watervallen. Met af een toe een prachtige uitzicht over het tropisch nevelwoud. Een nevelwoud is een bergbos bedekt met wolken en mist. De planten kunnen waterdruppels opnemen die condenseren op de bladeren en takken. Het nevelwoud is een zeldzame vorm van een bos. Van alle tropische bossen is maar 2,5% nevelwoud. Maar liefst 86% van alle nevelwouden staat bij het Wereld Natuur Fonds op de lijst van beschermde bossen. De nevelwouden zijn net als regenwouden volop begroeid met verschillende soorten planten. Die moeten beschermd worden tegen uitsterven omdat met het verlies van de soorten bijvoorbeeld eetbare planten verloren gaan. Een plek met bijzondere flora en fauna waar vooral de wandelaars aan hun trekken komen. In de regentijd zijn de paden wel spekglad en zul je gastheer zijn van tientallen bloedzuigers. Je loopt via olifantenpaden langs bergrivieren en je ziet prachtige watervallen waar je ook kunt zwemmen. Vanaf de rotswanden op 1300 meter hoogte zijn de uitzichten adembenemend. Afhankelijk van het seizoen zie je bloeiende bomen, wilde orchideeen en zeldzame vlinders. Een prachtig reservaat met meer dan 300 vogelsoorten. Diep in het park leven er nog panters, tijgers en een groep wilde Aziatische olifanten. Welkom in het verafgelegen Laos!

“Why are we so full of restraint? Why do we not give in all directions? Is it fear of losing ourselves? Until we do lose ourselves there is no hope of finding ourselves.” Henry Miller

 

On the same note, I went all out of restraint. I had my first ever overnight (on purpose) at the airport. Just chilling out and studying from 11pm all the way to 6 in the morn. The airport has been such a dear haunt since young. I aspire to work there one day, it's just a quintessential place to be- an intersection of all walks of life. It helps that its just 17 minutes away from my house :)

Welcome to Dong Hua Sao National park. Located on the Bolaven Plateau, which was formed by an ancient volcano in Southern Laos, one of the most scenic spots in the region. Our resort overlooks the Tad Fane waterfalls, thundering down in a 200 meter deep gorge. The light and color in the surrounding foliage brings the image to life. The falls themselves drop far below where the eye can see, due to the vegetation so you may want to hazard the steep cliff-side trail which ultimately leads down to the base of the falls. If you wear stout shoes and are prepared to hold onto tree branches you'll be fine and can have a dip in the plunge pool at the base of the falls. Staying at the resort means you'll have plenty of time for this worthwhile side-venture. Beyond the waterfalls stretches the extensive jungle of Dong Hua Sao, one of the 18 National Biodiversity Conservation Areas in the country. Open since 2000, Tad Fane is one of Laos pioneering nature resorts at the edge of the 1100-sq-km Dong Hua Sao NPA where the trekking trails are the best and perhaps the only way to get into the park. Dong Hau Sao is home to a healthy population of tigers, though you are more likely to see monkey, gigantic butterflies and in the wet season, dozens of great horn-bills who like to hang out at the bottom of the falls.

The highest point, Phou Tabeng, is 1,280 m. The area has about 300 bird species inclusive the Great Egret shown above. Within the park clouded leopard, tiger and a small population of wild Asian elephants can be seen. It is a ideal spot for tourists to relax and enjoy nature.

 

Welkom bij de Dong Hua Sao National park. Naast Tad fane, een waterval die in een 200m diepe kloof valt, zijn er nog veel meer watervallen in het park te zien vooral in de regentijd. De krachtige watervallen geven een regen van nevel af. Er sluierde een mysterieuze nevel door de regenwoud tijdens onze wandeltocht. Je snuift de frisse berglucht en kunt genieten van het buiten zijn. De ervaring van het in de jungle zijn met de vele geluiden is al uniek. Heerlijk omgeven door intiem mysterieuze nevel.

Well, Chicago has surprised me once again. I came across this very unique building the other night, and learned it is in fact, a huge prison right in downtown Chicago. That explains the tiny windows. This grand triangular structure, sometimes referred to as "the prism," is named the Metropolitan Correctional Center.

It is a vertical prison, and supposedly has this shape in order to reduce the time needed to patrol its halls.

This brutalist 70's design struck me as a very odd building, indeed. But who knew it was a jail? There is rumored to be an exercise area on the rooftop.

 

Once again, to be able to get a size I want and as much in the shot as possible, this is 3 vertical images stitched together, and 3 exposures for each image. Tonemapped all in Photomatix, then stitched together in Photoshop.

This week winter came back and brought a lot of snow again. On Friday it has been a very cold and misty morning. I could watch the lovely sunrise from my balcony shortly before going to work.

It was not so spectacular like the one you can see in my comment but I love the mood. Although the atmosphere was really beautiful, I'm still looking for Spring ;-) !

Diese Woche kam der Winter mit heftigem Schneefall und sehr kalten Temperaturen zurück. Der Freitag begann sehr nebelig und ich konnte einen wundervollen Sonnenaufgang hinter meinem Haus beobachten. Er war sicher nicht so spektakulär wie der im späten Herbst, den ihr unten im Kommentar sehen könnt, aber halt von ganz besonderer Atmosphäre.

Auch wenn es eine fantastische Stimmung war, sehne ich mich immer noch nach dem Frühjahr ;-)!

Yesterday

all my trouble seemed so far away

Now it looks as though they`re here to stay

Oh I believe in yesterday

 

Suddenly

I`m not half the man I used to be

there`s a shaddow hanging over me

Oh yesterday came suddenly

 

Why she had to go I don`t know

she wouldn`t say

I said something wrong

Now I long for yesterday

 

Yesterday

Love was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away

Oh I believe in yesterday

I want to dedicate this picture to my good friend and contact, Jennifer - www.flickr.com/photos/jjs08/ - for writing a very nice testimonial for me. I was so happy about what she wrote I decided to share a plate of fresh-cut French Fries and some Iced Tea with her at the Portland Saturday Market. Not really, but if she lived in Portland and not in Indiana I would have. =)

 

Jennifer is one of my first contacts on flickr and has been a faithful supporter of my photostream for a long time. Be sure to check out her photostream as it is one of my favorite streams to visit.

a los baguales… a espuela,

y a los malos… a ponchazos..."

A steel mill on a river late in the day. The water was very calm today, I have never seen this part of the river so calm at this time of the day, you can see the water "gently" flowing by.

 

About the Photo

*Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS *Lens: EF-S 18-55mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 IS *Shutter Speed: N/A *Aperture Value: ƒ/11 *ISO: 100 *Focal Length:18mm (28.8mm Equivalent)

I shot this on a tripod using mirror lockup, a polarizing filter, and a 2Sec. selftimer. This is composed of six exposures, one average exposure, three 1 stop underexposures, and two 1 stop overexposures. I opened the RAW files in Photomatix Pro and toned mapped them to my liking. Then I used ACR to polish up the 16 bit TIFF file and opened it in CS4 were I removed dust spots and added my watermark.
