去年11月開始的台北漫遊信義區篇,緣起於這個取景的台北101,我誤打誤撞,真心找它尋不著,倒也多了些意外驚艷的收穫,這回終於如願以償了,不是夜景也無妨(*˘︶˘*)

 

It was this scene that drew me into Xingyi District last November and started my Stroll in Taipei and Urban Hymns series. Not perfect without the night lights, but it doesn't matter at all... I was there and took the shot! (*˘︶˘*)

Sliders Sunday

 

Mushrooms always make an interesting subject for a photo.

These started out as normal items, little plates with chocolates on them. Couldn't make it look appetizing though so I went the other way.

The sky always seems to be out there, away from us. I like to bring it down in close contact with us, so you feel you are in it. We feel we are at the bottom of this ocean of air; we are actually on a planet.

Happy Sliders Sunday

This little willow/aspen tree, must have heard about the maple trees in the northeast area of the lower forty eight that turn red in autumn, and decided she would try to do the same. I think she truly stands out from the millions of trees that surround her - and she certainly brightens the roadside.

The berlin cube cloudified and kaleidoscoped for Sliders Sunday. Composite made of two images taken there in mid July. The first image is a capture I took standing right next to the cube's facade and pointing the camera straight up. In Photoshop, I copied the layer with the original image, flipped the new layer horizontally, and cross-faded it with the first layer by using the blending mode "Overlay" at 75 % opacity. 100 % would have resulted in a punchier look on the right side, but I rather liked the softness and that it somehow looks as if the cube would slowly dissolve into or merge with the clouds. The next step was to replace the sky above the cube(s). For that I used a small part of the very first image I'd taken at the cube; I was just about to compose the image in the viewfinder when I noticed the bird, and decided to skip the composing part in favour of the bird ;-) (Birds, just like photographers, love the new berlin cube. There was a constant coming and going on the cube's roof, and it seems that, while not even all new tenants have moved in, yet, the cube's roof has already been occupied by the bird population that lives in the Hauptbahnhof area.) Next, I gently HDRified the finished composite in Aurora, then went into ON1 where I added some sunbeams to the upper sky part of the image, and added a soft glow for an extra airy look.

 

Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, have a nice and safe new week ahead!

 

Kleine Spiegel-Spielerei vom "berlin cube" für den Sliders Sunday. Dieses Bild ist zusammengesetzt aus zwei verschiedenen Fotos, die ich dort Mitte Juli gemacht habe. Für Foto Nr. 1 hatte ich fast an der Fassade des Cubes gelehnt und die Kamera direkt nach oben gerichtet. Dieses Foto habe ich in Photoshop auf einer kopierten Ebene einfach horizontal gespiegelt und mit dem darunter liegenden Originalbild bei 75 % Deckkraft ineinanderkopiert. Danach habe ich den Himmel über "den Cubes" ersetzt, und zwar mit einem kleinen Teil des allerersten Fotos, das ich dort gemacht hatte. Ich war gerade dabei gewesen, eine gute Position zu finden, um den Cube möglichst sauber ausgerichtet fotografieren zu können, bemerkte dann aber den Vogel und beschloss, das saubere Ausrichten zugunsten des Vogels auf das nächste Foto zu verschieben ;-) Überhaupt ist der neue Cube schon sehr beliebt bei den Vögeln, die rund um den Berliner Hauptbahnhof leben. Während längst noch nicht alle Mieter in den Cube eingezogen sind, hat die Vogel-Gang vom Hauptbahnhof bereits das gesamte Dach in Beschlag genommen ;-) Bearbeitungstechnisch habe ich das fertig zusammengesetzte Bild erst in Aurora sanft HDRisiert und dann, in ON1, dem oberen Teil ein paar Sonnenstrahlen und zum Abschluss dem gesamten Foto ein leichtes Leuchten verpasst, um den luftig-leichten Look zu betonen.

 

Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die neue Woche, bleibt gesund, liebe Flickr-Freunde :-)

This is a 3-shot composite I put together for Sliders Sunday. I took two shots of the moon: one I exposed for the clouds and sky around the moon, which resulted in the moon being a blown out white blob. For the second shot, I took a spot meter reading off the moon, in order to get a properly exposed moon. Then I selected that moon and placed it over the blown out moon in the cloudy sky. I've used the image of the geese previously, but they appeared much different in that image than they do here (see that image in the first comment).

Well, here we are on the other side of the downtime,

how did it go for you? After the 3 days I was just

happy to see I still have a photostream , ay! ;-)

 

happy sliderssunday and Memorial Day!

I'm in the act of tidying out my archive a bit these days, but as usual I'm not getting very far. Stumbled upon this older photo I took during a hike in the Zillertal alps (Austria).

 

Rather poor quality (this was the worst lens I've ever owned!), but I remember that day fondly, so I played around a bit with Analog Efex (especially adding blur / reducing edge definition) and Topaz Studio (especially Bliss - 30% opacitiy, and Hummingbird Wing - 50% oppacity, and some self created painterly effect)

 

... and yes, there was a thunderstorm coming in ; ))

 

Happy (Slider) Sunday to you !!

Ruhe vor dem Sturm

 

Ich bin gerade dabei, mein Archiv ein wenig 'auszumisten', aber wie immer komme ich nicht sehr weit. Ich bin über dieses ältere Foto gestolpert, das ich bei einer Wanderung in den Zillertaler Alpen (Österreich) aufgenommen habe.

 

Die Qualität ist eher bescheiden (das war das schlechteste Objektiv, das ich je besessen habe!), aber ich erinnere mich gerne an diesen Tag, also habe ich ein bisschen in Analog Efex (hier vor allem Hinzufügen von Randunschärfe) und Topaz Studio (vor allem Bliss - 30% Deckkraft und Hummingbird Wing - 50% Deckkraft) herumgespielt.

 

Und ja, da zog tatsächlich ein Gewitter auf ; ))

 

Einen schönen Sonntag wünsche ich euch !!

Explored 9 August 2020

 

I somehow couldn't come up with a more apt title. Of course this is not paper, and nothing's been folded here, but especially the reverse stairs – which quasi also act as a "clamp" that seems to hold together all seven floors of that building – remind me of a "folding game" like Origami. Just like those two square, colourful design elements which, for me, also have a certain 1950s (or 1980s) touch. But maybe I also originally had one those foldable / expandable (table) music stands in mind. Something that, if you wish, you can fold inside or outside, simply every which way, even if it then becomes unusable for its original purpose, at least until you fold it back the way it was meant to be. This is the right staircase of the Paul-Löbe-Haus (PLH), a parliamentary building of the German Bundestag. The PLH houses offices for the members of the German parliament and their employees. It was opened in 2001, and forms an architectural unit with the Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders Haus and the Bundeskanzleramt (please see my album "Berliner Regierungsviertel / Berlin government district" if you like). Taken with my Lumix LX100 at a walk with Flickr friends back in July 2018. The LX100 is the only camera that I ever use to shoot 16:9 images with, because of its unique so-called "multi-aspect sensor" which doesn't crop the field of view at least for 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9 aspect ratios (1:1 is an exception), whereas the Olympus cameras simply crop the image in-camera, and I'd rather do that myself later if I wish. The different aspect ratios are also easily accessible via a dial on top of the LX100's fixed lens.

 

Regarding the sliders I sort of "drifted along" while checking out different filters such as LUTs in ON1. I also completely desaturated the yellow and orange tones – we had been there to take blue hour photos, and the PLH's illumination created a distinctive yellow hue on the concrete wall which I didn't like too much. Monochrome processing had been an option, too, but in the end I preferred the colour version. You can find a fantastic b&w version on Moni E's stream. Moni's image shows the left staircase of the PLH.

 

Politisches Origami

 

Ein besserer Titel wollte mir hier einfach nicht einfallen. Obwohl, solch Origami-mäßig komplizierte Kniffe soll es ja im Politikbetrieb durchaus geben, selbst wenn am Ende kein hübsches Origami-Gebilde dabei herauskommt ;-) Jdf. erinnern mich sowohl die gegenläufigen Treppen als auch die leicht 50er(oder auch 80er)-Jahre-Design-mäßig geformten farbigen Designelemente des Paul-Löbe-Hauses (PLH) an Origami. Vielleicht hatte ich bei der Treppe aber auch ein Tisch-Scherenpult oder auch einen regulären Notenständer im Sinn, jdf. irgendetwas Ein- und Ausfaltbares, das ich aber nicht genau benennen kann. Egal ;-) Dies ist eine Aufnahme mit meiner kleinen LX100, entstanden bei einem Fotowalk mit Flickr-Freuden im Juli 2018. Die LX100 ist die einzige Kamera, mit der ich überhaupt direkt 16:9-Fotos mache. Die Olys beschneiden das Bild nur in der Kamera – und das mache ich, wenn gewünscht, lieber später bei der Bearbeitung selbst. Die LX100 verfügt aber über einen sog. "Multiformat-Sensor", der zumindest in den Formaten 4:3, 3:2 und eben 16:9 immer dieselbe Bilddiagonale nutzt (die Ausnahme ist 1:1). Außerdem befindet sich bei der LX100 auch ein praktischer Direktauswahlschalter für die Formate direkt auf dem festverbauten Objektiv.

 

Als wir zur blauen Stunde am Kanzleramt ankamen, waren die Gebäude dort schon beleuchtet, so auch das PLH, und die Beleuchtung erzeugte dort einen zumindest auf meinem Bild unschön aussehenden Gelbton auf der Betonwand, weshalb ich kurzerhand sowohl die Gelb- als auch die Orangetöne völlig entsättigt habe. Eine monochrome Bearbeitung hatte ich auch ausprobiert, am Ende gefiel mir aber diese verfremdete Farbversion besser. Eine ganz tolle SW-Version findet Ihr bei Moni E. Nicht wundern, weder Monis noch mein Bild ist gespiegelt, beim PLH befinden sich zu beiden Seiten der Eingangshalle diese von außen dank Komplettverglasung sichtbaren Treppenaufgänge.

 

Ich wünsche Euch ein schönes Wochenende, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
