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!

In your darkest hours
Try to be hopeful
As you pace for hours
Try to be hopeful
Try not to imagine the worst
Gnash your teeth
Throw your head in your hands
Give up
Scream into your pillows
Google "How do I change my mood?"
Try to be hopeful
Despite it all
These energetic plants will applaud
Just think
We are constantly destroying
The Earth with our human nonsense
Their habitat is always in flux
and disappearing
And yet, they still manage to
Survive and grow
And so will you

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).
"If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy,
if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you,
if the simple things in nature have a message you understand,
Rejoice, for your soul is alive."

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"!
Developed this film at college the other day first time in 10 years,
Scanned the negs with my shit printer and made them into positives.
