#Donnerstagsmonochrom
You don't see images processed in monochrome on my Flickr stream all too often. But here I thought it looked best. The thingy you see here is a playground carousel, photographed at the Britzer Garten. I'd seized the short moment when the carousel was not in use ;) Since the carousel's benches were painted in vivid red, I'd toyed with the idea to go for a colour-key-style processing at first, but in the end I liked the pure b&w look better, because the benches didn't really make sense to me as that special element that should be highlighted with the use of colour.
Converted to monochrome in Silver Efex where I used the preset "Film Noir 2" as starting point. I've still tweaked it here or there, because that filter creates a very contrasty, kind of harsh "silhouette" look with really deep blacks and almost completely blown-out whites, and I thought it looked nicer with more textures left in the image.
Viele Bilder in kräftigem, kontrastreichem Schwarzweiß gibt es in meinem Flickr-Stream nicht, aber hier sah SW einfach am besten aus. Ich hatte noch überlegt, etwas Farbe im Bild zu belassen, weil die geschwungenen Holzbänke dieses interaktiven Spielgeräts in leuchtendem Rot lackiert waren, aber in reinem SW wirkte das Bild doch am besten. Entwickelt in Silver Efex, wo ich das Preset "Film Noir 2" als Ausgangspunkt genommen und dann noch ein wenig angepasst habe, weil mir der doch sehr spezielle, Silhouetten-artige Look dieses Filters (mit tiefen Schwarztönen und fast völlig ausgefressenem Weiß) ein wenig zu extrem war.
Bei dieser Parkmöblierung handelt es sich um ein sogenanntes Sitzkarussell (sitzt man bei einem Karussell nicht eigentlich immer auf irgendetwas? Auf Holzpferdchen, Polizeimotorrädern, einem an langen Ketten befestigten Stuhl?); wenn man, am besten mit vereinten Kräften, an dem glänzenden Tisch-Rad-Dings in der Mitte dreht, fängt auch das Karussel an, sich zu drehen. Kürzlich fotografiert im Britzer Garten in dem kurzen Moment, als das Gerät mal nicht von Kindern umlagert war ;)

This small area offered a great deal of fun positioning the camera to make order out of the chaos. Mt Rundle in the background with twisted snow covered logs and their reflections in the foreground. It was a playground with grown up toys that even delivered a mid ground of various colors.
Banff is about 90 minutes away and I rarely get there. Voted among the most beautiful places in the world, one might wonder why more time is not spent there.
A shot of the old school in unincorporated town of Mitchell,KS. around 2012.The school was closed around 1970,the abandoned church across the road a few years later. The town's post office closed in 1953....
Have a great fence friday!
Simple ICM in the playground as I try to look at familiar areas with a different perspective. This was my first walkabout after being in Hospital for 14 nights with Lyme Disease. Oh my I'm so slow and for heaven's sake check yourself for ticks. I'm on IV Antibiotics for 28 Days at home. The pain was horrendous in my back and arms and had Bell's palsy both sides of face. There was no bullseye bite mark from a tick but the test results came back after 10 days verify Lyme Disease. Any way up and walking now, lost 13 pounds and have very little upper body strength. Hence some ICM's for a bit until I can hold a camera steady.. Shot with a variable ND filter that I just purchased so I can have more opportunities for ICM during bright situations.
