Spot the two birds :)
For a change, this is a new (outside!) photo, taken just a few days ago at the wonderful Britzer Garten, one of Berlin's biggest and most beautiful public parks (please check my album for more "Britz bliss", if you like).
For better dynamic range, I've used exposure bracketing (three images), pre-processed the images in DXO PhotoLab (sharpness and DeepPrime denoising only), from which I directly went into HDR Efex Pro to combine the images. I'm trying to get away from the annual Adobe subscription, and combining images from an exposure bracketing series in HDR Efex instead of Lightroom is one step into that direction. Unfortunately, whenever I think I can finally leave Adobe behind for good they come up with improvements such as the new "supersize" function (now also available in LR), a ton of new presets for LR, and other interesting stuff (and I'm still used to the LR/PS workflow, and the layers in PS). Well, maybe I'll be ready next year ;)
Extra sliding was done in Color Efex, where I added some "Brilliance and Warmth" and a tiny bit of "Contrast Color Range".
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe and have a nice week ahead!
Happy Sliders Sunday!
Having some fun with the Filters in Topaz Studio 2. It made my really boring bottle caps into something colorful.

For me this is a perfect example for why mobile phone cameras are a great thing. When I saw this I immediately knew that I only had a couple of minutes before all of the snow would disappear! So no time to get my camera!
It‘s certainly not the highest quality or most artistic shot and that‘s even quite heavily processed… however that‘s still infinitely better than not getting it at all!

Entrance Hall of the newly opened Humboldt Forum, photographed from the tribune on the first floor. The Humboldt Forum (named after the Prussian scholars Wilhelm and Alexander von Humboldt), built between 2012 and 2020 on the site of the Berlin Palace (which, after World War II, had been torn down and replaced by the Palast der Republik – the former seat of the GDR government), is an architectural mix of "historical and modern". Its façade is a replica of the baroque Berlin Palace, while the interior has been newly designed by Italian architect Franco Stella. The Humboldt Forum houses the non-European collections from the Berlin State Museums, the (temporary?) exhibition "Berlin Global", and it will also be used for different events. Btw., that organic shaped thing on the left is a construct made of several projection surfaces that display all kinds of informations, regarding Berlin's history, for instance, but not at the moment I took the photo ;)
Back in 2015, after the topping out ceremony, the Humboldt Forum's shell construction had been opened for the public for one weekend. I've included an imaged I'd taken back then from almost the same spot as I've taken this photo from, you can find it in the first comment (and for more photos of that 2015 event, please see my album), I think it's an interesting "then and now" comparison. My new photo is an HDR made from three images, processed in HDR Efex. I've also bumped up the clarity, so it would match the look of my 2015 photo (I've only used LR back then).
HSS, Everyone!
Humboldt-Gewusel
Blick in die riesige Eingangshalle des neu eröffneten Humboldt Forums, aufgenommen von der Galerie im ersten Stock. Errichtet zwischen 2012 und 2020, ist das Humboldt Forum ein (nicht unumstrittener) Mix aus historisierend (die Fassade, die eine Replik des nach dem 2. Weltkrieg abgerissenen und durch den Palast der Republik ersetzten Berliner Stadtschlosses darstellt) und vollkommen neu (das vom italienischen Architekten Franco Stella modern gestaltete Interieur). Es beherbergt die außereuropäischen Sammlungen der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin, die zuvor in Dahlem gezeigt worden waren (und die ebenfalls nicht unumstritten sind, Stichwort: Beutekunst). Außerdem ist als größte moderne Ausstellung momentan "Berlin Global" zu sehen. Das organisch geformte Ding links im Bild ist übrigens ein Konstrukt aus mehreren Projektionsflächen, die z.B. Verschiedenes zur Berliner Geschichte und andere Infos im Wechsel anzeigen, nur gerade nicht in dem Moment, als ich die Belichtungsreihe gemacht habe ;)
2015, nach dem Richtfest, konnte man ein Wochenende lang den Rohbau des Humboldt Forums besichtigen. Ich habe, als Vergleich, im ersten Kommentar ein Foto von diesem Wochenende verlinkt, das ich damals von fast exakt demselben Standpunkt aus fotografiert hatte wie mein neues Foto. Weitere Fotos von 2015 findet Ihr im Album. Das neue Foto ist ein HDR aus einer Dreier-Belichtungsreihe, die ich in HDR Efex zusammengefügt habe. Um eine kleine optische Verknüpfung zu 2015 herzustellen, habe ich das neue Foto dann noch ein wenig in LR (welches damals mein einziges Bildbearbeitungsprogramm war) angepasst.
Habt einen schönen Restsonntag und einen guten Wochenstart!

More boats and still more Berlin government district. I know, you've seen quite many boats on my stream this year (so finally it is a stream in the true sense), and a few more might follow. This is a view from the Kronprinzenbrücke (Crown Prince Bridge), so it's probably about time to also upload a photo of that bridge (which was designed by internationally renowned architect Santiago Calatrava and of which you can see one of its rusty "elbows" resting in the water of the Spree in the lower right corner of my photo) soon. And maybe it's also about time to go on another boat trip :) The two governmental buildings connected by the double bridge across the Spree are the Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus (MELH) on the left, and the Paul-Löbe-Haus (PLH) on the right. You can also see a little bit of the Reichstag building, the seat of the German government, behind the PLH.
Processing-wise I applied this and that mostly in Color Efex. What I remember of "this and that" is the Reflector Efex filter (Gold) to brighten the foreground, and the Tonal Contrast filter. Nik Collection's new version now also has control points for each filter, which is very convenient, so I also applied the Polarization filter, but only on the boat in the foreground, as it didn't look nice in the sky at all.
Happy Sliders Sunday, and enjoy your weekend, dear Flickr friends!
Bootsparade
Noch mehr Boote im Berliner Regierungsviertel :) Dieses Mal aufgenommen von der Kronprinzenbrücke (rechts unten könnt Ihr einen der rostigen Stahlträger der Brücke in der Spree sehen), also wäre es evtl. an der Zeit, demnächst nicht nur ein Foto von der Brücke selbst hochzuladen, sondern auch mal wieder eine solche Bootsfahrt zu machen :)
Ihr könnt hier die Doppelbrücke sehen, von der nur der untere Teil der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich ist und die das Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus (links) mit dem Paul-Löbe-Haus (rechts) über die Spree hinweg verbindet. Hinter dem Paul-Löbe-Haus könnt Ihr auch ein wenig vom Reichstagsgebäude und der Kuppel sehen.
Bearbeitet für Sliders Sunday überwiegend in Color Efex. Mit dem Filter Reflektor Efex (Gold) habe ich den Vordergrund aufgehellt. Weitere verwendete Filter (soweit ich mich an sie erinnere, da ich hier mehrere Bearbeitungsschritte mit längeren Pausen dazwischen hatte) waren "Tonaler Kontrast" und Polarisation. Letzteren habe ich per Kontrollpunkt (die es in der neuen Nik-Version jetzt praktischerweise für jeden Filter separat gibt) nur auf das Boot im Vordergrund angewendet, da er beim Himmel gar nicht schön aussah.
Ich wünsche Euch ein schönes Wochenende, liebe Flickr-Freunde!

It's kaleidoscope time again :) While flipping through my archive in search of something for Sliders Sunday, I came across an image I've taken almost two years ago at the inner courtyard of the Jewish Museum Berlin. The inner courtyard is part of the baroque "Kollegienhaus" which housed the court of appeal, and, later, the Berlin museum, before it became part of the Jewish Museum in 2001 together with a new building designed by Daniel Libeskind. The impressive steel construction and glass roof that cover the Kollegienhaus courtyard were also designed by Libeskind and added in 2007. At 670 m² (7211 square feet), the courtyard is rather huge, and back then I only took images of parts of the roof which didn't look that interesting on their own, so I decided to go for a kaleidoscoped interpretation and quadrupled one image in PS. Processed in HDR Efex and Luminar AI (High Key filter).
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe and healthy!
Auf-Streben-d
Beim Durchstöbern meines Archivs bin ich kürzlich auf Fotos gestoßen, die ich im Juli 2019 im Innenhof des Jüdischen Museums Berlin aufgenommen hatte. Der Innenhof gehört zum barocken Kollegienhaus (vormals Kammergericht, später beherbergte es das Berlin Museum, bevor es 2001, zusammen mit dem Neubau von Daniel Libeskind, zum Jüdischen Museum wurde). 2007 wurde der 670 m² große Innenhof des Kollegienhauses nach einem weiteren Entwurf von Libeskind um ein beeindruckendes Glasdach mit Stahlkonstruktion erweitert. Ich habe von damals nur Fotos von Teilen des Daches, die für sich allein nicht so spannend sind, weshalb ich mich hier wieder mal an einer kleinen Kaleidoskop-Spielerei versucht habe: Ihr seht ein Foto, dass ich in PS vervierfacht und mit diversen Spiegelungen, sowohl vertikal als auch horizontal, neu zusammengesetzt habe. Entwickelt in HDR Efex und Luminar AI (High-Key-Filter).
Ich wünsche Euch einen angenehmen Wochenstart (und allen Berlinern morgen einen schönen Feiertag), passt gut auf Euch auf und bleibt gesund :)

Had fun with a colourful leaf there. This didn't quite end up the way I wanted, somehow the path blur tool seemed bent on doing it's own thing. I kept a small area of the damaged bit of the leaf as I liked the blueish colour in contrast to the warm tones. I might just try this again one day and see what happens then.
