It’s been a rough week. A little over a week ago I got pretty badly injured on my knee during the football game. Already I’ve had an operation to the torn menisci, and high likely there will be another one within a few months. I’m only aloud to walk a few meters in the house, so making (landscape)photographs is impossible and I thinks it’s needless to say that hurts. But is it? My (very sweet) girl saw my struggle and came up with a wonderful idea. “Isn’t there a place I can drive you to? Where you just can get out the car and make a shot?”, she asked. “Uh, well, I don’t know… Maybe, yes! The tulip fields of course!” Actually I wasn’t feeling that much inspired anymore by the tulips, as I’ve shot them quite a few times now, and normally I would go out around sunrise or sunset. But it was all the more fun now. We drove a lot around the fields, searching for one which was easily accessible (even with crutches), and finally found this field. This one also has its lanes directly towards the sun, so I waited some time for them to line up and made this shot with the Nisi 15mm and its wonderful sunstar (in my opinion at least). A nice boost and a strong reminder to stay positive, hopefully soon enough I will be out and about again on my own, and my loved camera of course!
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!

My first self-made tattoo^^
I admit it doesn't look perfect but it doesn't matter, I'm proud of it!
I paid attention to the symbols because that's the important thing.
Star, feather, butterfly, crescent, lotus flower and infinity, all symbols for positive dreams, worked into a dreamcatcher.
I will not give up on my dreams, no matter what happens
When I begun to process this exposure bracketing, I thought that I knew what I wanted to attain. I was perfectly wrong. Indeed, these RAW files kept a few secret bits of beauty which I was not aware of when I selected them for processing – and they changed the course of the journey I had foreordained.
I was in a gloomy mood, for both personal and general concerns, and the RAWs looked rather duller than the average – taken: they appeared to accurately mirror the state of my soul. At worst, I would have wasted some hours of pointless procesing work before deciding to look for something better. Nobody would have known. However things were to contradict my expectations. I got some good news (a rarity in those tough days) about the health conditions of my brother and my “adopted brother-in-law” (i.e. my brother’s brother-in-law); on the other hand, Darktable – that wonderful software – gifted me with a few unanticipated treasures. My thoughts were growing more and more positive and the processing of this bracketing were proceeding accordingly: a hidden beauty was unfolding before me, my own persisting unawareness of it notwithstanding. At last I found myself with a picture that had apparently self-processed itself*, while I was busy exploring uncharted thoughts that kept emerging along the way
* Admittedly a bizarre phenomenon, which Maurits Cornelius Escher would have loved – think of his Drawing hands.
I would avoid to nag you about this incredibly wonderful location: you can take a look at my album Silent banks, the complete collection of the photos I have taken there; the attached narratives are rich in information about the place, if you are curious enough.
This location is especially renowned for its legendary morning mists, but only a thin layer of milky mist floated above the water that morning. On top of the hill in the distance, beyond the river, lays the sanctuary of the Madonna della Rocca ( = Madonna of the Rock), already brushed by the first light pouring from the Eastern horizon.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then, as usual, I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic as a possible final contribution to the processing. While this technique (which, its imposing name notwithstanding, is pretty simple to implement) often holds interesting results in full daylight landscapes, its effects on a low-light capture (e.g. a sunrise) are utterly unpredictable, so at the end of my workflow I often give it a try to ascertain its possibilities. In this picture I have exploited this technique in a very frugal, yet effective, way – just some touches where needed.
RAW files has been processed with Darktable. Denoising with DFine 2 and the Gimp (denoised and original images blended by lightness).

This is from the inside of the GMC I posted yesterday. The truck was on an abandoned farm east of Innisfail, Alberta.

I had to face the "Zombie Apocalypse" and go shopping. Went into the two empty shops, missed the queues and paid a lot more for the stuff. It was worth it.

I've been home from work for two weeks now, and I have joined the ranks of people that no longer know what day it is. I'm OK with that! For 4 + years I have worked every weekend... and now.... every day is a weekend!
I have started several projects, finished none. Today I decided to start cleaning the basement. Bad decision. I've been opening boxes and seeing stuff that I haven't seen for years... some I'm looking at and wondering why the heck I bothered to put it in a box and save it in the first place... and then there is the really cool stuff that I haven't seen in years... that I end up taking out and playing with. Yeah... it's not going well... it's not going well at all. But tomorrow is another day... and it's a "weekend"!
