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.

This is somewhat anti-cyclic because it's a photo taken in spring, whereas autumn is in full swing – but spring is so, too, in the southern hemisphere, so let's say it's an autumn image as seen from somewhere down under ;)
This is also another re-edit from a holiday on Baltic sea semi-island Usedom in 2013. I've already re-edited a few images taken during that holiday (please check my album), and I've always wanted to re-process this one because it's one of my favourites from that trip. The woods along the Usedom high coast are incredibly beautiful, and to wander through them felt like being in an enchanted forest. It was a truly magical experience.
Photographed with the tiny Pen-E-PL3, my very first MFT camera (which still exists). Needless to say, the 12,8 MP sensor isn't capable of capturing the absolute best details, and especially on the horizon there is a considerable loss of detail, but not to the extent that you couldn't at least guess what you see, namely a sailboat and one of the many ferries crossing the Baltic sea every day to different destinations such as Poland, Scandinavia, and the Baltic countries.
Please don't ask me about the (over-)processing steps in this re-editing journey, because a journey it was, and a rather long one, as I've been returning to this image on and off, doing this and that in different programmes until it finally felt "right" – at least for this moment ;) You can find the original, almost SOOC image in the second comment.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone!
Feathery, floating-
wishes sent out,
over the miles meant,
to foster smiles
and grow into a garden
of golden flowers-
smile-makers of Springtime
that are so sure to arrive
no matter what direction,
or how far they must float,
time after time.

I was lucky I'd actually created this yesterday, as my laptop has died! I've had terrible trouble trying to upload this via my tablet, which is very new to me (Xmas present), so bear with me if I don't comment very much. I think our network is having issues too.

Laowa C-Dreamer 7.5mm F/2
Explored 25 April, 2021
A subject I've already showcased several times here on Flickr: the beautiful Schloss Charlottenburg (Charlottenburg Palace), located in the Berlin borough of Charlottenburg – the castle was there first, so the borough was named after the castle, not the other way round. Charlottenburg Palace was built between 1695 and 1791 – in several construction phases – in baroque and rococo styles. From 1701 until 1888 it served as a summer residence for the Prussian kings. In 1697, the huge palace garden (of which you can see only a small part here) was designed by Siméon Godeau in French Baroque style, and later, in 1819, Peter Joseph Lenné redisigned the garden in English landscape style. The palace complex, which was severely damaged during the Second World War, was faithfully reconstructed through the personal efforts of West Berlin art historian Margarete Kühn. Since 1990, the entire ensemble is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This image, which I've photographed with the tiny Laowa "C-Dreamer" 7.5 ultra wide-angle lens, simply yelled for some slider action for Sliders Sunday, especially with those picture-perfect drama clouds that we'd had on that sunny day back in May '19. It may be a little too much on the colourful side, but for me, monochrome (or a more desaturated look) didn't work here. I tried both, also several tintings, but wasn't really happy with either.
HSS, Everyone, and stay safe and healthy!
Vom Schloss Charlottenburg habe ich ja schon so einiges hier auf Flickr gezeigt – es ist einfach immer wieder ein schönes Motiv. Und an jenem Tag Ende Mai 2019 hatten wir auch noch so schöne, wie gemalt wirkende Drama-Wolken, da musste ich für den Sliders Sunday einfach ordentlich in die Tasten hauen bzw. an den Foto-Bearbeitungsprogramm-Reglern drehen. Es ist vielleicht ein bisschen sehr bunt geraten, aber alle SW-/Tönungs-/Entsättigungsvarianten, die ich hier ausprobiert habe, haben mir nicht gefallen. Es war ein kräftig sonniger, schöner Tag gewesen, das wollte ich auch so wiedergeben.
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Wochenstart, passt gut auf Euch auf und bleibt gesund!

A tabletop cat for #Caturday :)
And also for #sliderssunday
Cats are rare subjects for me ever since my cat Luzy passed away many years ago. I've photoGRIIIphed this sweet kitty one week ago at a garden centre :)
At first, I hadn't even noticed this pretty kitty. I'd noticed the emerald green rim of the glasses that were on display on one of the many tables with decorative things. And just when I wanted to reach for one of the glasses to take a closer look, a paw was stretched out idly. The cat had lain there totally still, in a deep slumber :)
Apparently I had overlooked it, because it's fur (orange tabby with hints of brown on the back, white belly, legs, and paws) is of almost the same orange tone as the tables there. I assume that the cat belongs to the owner of the garden centre, and spends its days among the customers, because it was totally relaxed. It didn't mind to be petted, it didn't mind my camera (and there were other customers, too, getting out their phones to take a few photos when they noticed that this was a real kitty and not another decoration). At one point, the kitty had enough of all the attention a garden centre celebrity gets, and it jumped from the table to take a stroll across the sales rooms. Definitely an encounter of the happy kind :)
I've checked out a new Photoshop filter here which I've stumbled upon randomly. I'd noticed a new set of "Neural filters" in the filter menu, and wanted to see what they are. These filters operate in the cloud, and most of them are still Beta versions.
I've checked out the "Depth Blur" filter to achieve a shallower DOF that the GR III simply couldn't produce at F2.8 wide open in this fairly crammed garden centre ambience. I assume that "Depth Blur" is a similar type of AI filter that helps phone cameras to achieve a shallow DOF look. Except that it doesn't do so automatically. You can adjust some sliders for different DOF effects. And while it took horribly long to apply the filter, I'm really pleased with the result.
Wishing Everyone a Happy Caturday and a great weekend, stay safe and healthy!

Before I continue my casual series of the Berlin Olympic Stadium, here's another photo from my visit to the Olympic Village of 1936 with 3-day-beard / 3-tage-bart, bananahh, and magritknapp.
Heavily (over-)processed for Sliders Sunday. It shows the Olympic Village's gym. I wish it were possible to re-visit the Olympic Village (or what is left of it) with a tripod and a wider lens, but guided tours have been discontinued in 2020 – not because of the Corona/Covid-19 situation, but because the site of the Olympic Village is under (re-)construction as a housing area called "G.O.L.D. Gartenstadt Olympisches Dorf von 1936®" ("Gold Garden City Olympic Village of 1936"). So actually we were very, very lucky to still have gotten hold of a tour back in September 2018 – a once-in-a-lifetime photographic opportunity. It also means that I have to make do with the photographic yield achieved mostly with my little Lumix LX100 (and without a tripod, because I thought that I couldn't bring one – a stupid mistake).
In 2018 the Lumix had still been new and I hadn't figured out all the functions properly, yet (well, I still haven't); this image would have definitely benefited from the use of the HDR bracketing mode, but it simply hadn't been on my radar back then. So this image also was the ultimate test for the new DxO Photo Lab 4: an image with obvious flaws such as lots of noise and mushy details. DxO PL 4 has a new AI de-noising technology called "Deep Prime" (which only works with RAW files, so make sure to process the file in DxO first before you export it to LR). And I must say that I'm quite impressed. Since this image is obviously more about atmosphere than image quality I also added a subtle HDR look in HDR Efex (preset "End of the road" tweaked to my liking and blended in with the original file in PS at 79 % opacity); I like the soft glow and slightly painterly look HDR Efex added to it. I hope you like it, too, and that you can forgive the poor all-over image quality :)
And speaking of atmosphere: The photo board in the background displays original images from the Olympic Summer Games of 1936 – and the image on the far right is a portrait of Jesse Owens, the athlete who dominated the games of '36. This, the lifetime friendship he had built with German long jumper Luz Long (Long was fatally injured during WWII in 1943, but the Owens and Long families have stayed in contact to this day), and the fact Jesse Owens also was the undisputed crowd favourite, publicly reduced the ugly racist ideology of the Nazi regime to absurdity – alas, as we all know, only for those two summer weeks of 1936...
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, have a safe and healthy new week ahead, dear Flickr friends, and take care!
Bevor es mit meiner losen Serie von Berliner Olympiastadion weitergeht, streue ich für den Sliders Sunday ein weiteres Foto vom Olympischen Dorf in Elstal ein. Da die (geführten) Touren dort leider eingestellt wurden (nicht etwa wegen der Corona-Situation, sondern weil mittlerweile die Bauarbeiten für die neue Wohnanlage "G.O.L.D. Gartenstadt Olympisches Dorf von 1936®" weiter fortgeschritten sind), war der Besuch dort (zusammen mit 3-day-beard / 3-tage-bart, bananahh, and magritknapp) tatsächlich eine einmalige fotografische Gelegenheit – und das bedeutet auch, dass ich mit den Fotos vorliebnehmen muss, die ich damals überwiegend mit meiner kleinen Lumix LX100 (und blöderweise ohne Stativ, weil ich dachte, ich dürfte keins mitbringen) gemacht habe.
Insbesondere diese Aufnahme hätte sicher von der Verwendung des HDR-Belichtungsreihen-Modus profitiert, aber da die Kamera damals noch recht neu war, hatte ich diese Feinheiten noch nicht auf dem Schirm gehabt. Das Resultat ist, insbesondere hier, sicher eindeutig mehr unter Atmosphäre denn unter Bildqualität einzuordnen. Eine Einzelaufnahme, bei der aufgrund der schwierigen Lichtverhältnisse in der Turnhalle des Olympischen Dorfes die dunklen Bereiche nach dem Aufhellen reichlich verrauscht sowie nur noch mit spärlichen Details versehen waren. Da konnte sich dann gleich mal das gerade erschienene DxO Photo Lab 4 beweisen. Und ich finde, das Resultat kann sich durchaus sehen lassen, wenn man ein Auge zudrückt ;) DxO hat das brandneue KI-Entrauschungstool "Deep Prime" an Bord, das tatsächlich mit zu dem Besten zählt, was es momentan in diesem Bereich gibt (wie z.B. Topaz DeNoise AI, das auch hervorragende Arbeit leistet, aber DxO legt hier noch einmal eine Schippe drauf). "Deep Prime" funktioniert übrigens nur mit den originalen RAW-Dateien, sodass man den Workflow entsprechend anpassen muss: Die (Vor-)Entwicklung in DxO muss der erste Schritt sein, erst danach kann man z.B. in LR oder anderen Programmen weitermachen.
Hier habe ich das Foto nach den grundlegenden Anpassungen nur noch in HDR Efex nachberabeitet, ausgehend vom Preset "Ende der Straße" (zu finden unter "Surreal"), das ich noch angepasst habe und anschließend mit dem Originalbild in PS mit 79 % Deckkraft überblendet habe. Also, wie gesagt, seid bitte bzgl. Bildqualität / Details / Schärfe dieses Mal nicht ganz so streng :)
Apropos Atmosphäre: Die Fotowand im Hintergrund zeigt Originalbilder der Spiele von 1936 – und ganz rechts seht Ihr ein Portrait von Jesse Owens, dem unangefochtenen Star der Spiele. Die sportliche Überlegenheit Jesse Owens', die Freundschaft mit dem deutschen Weitsprung-Star Luz Long (die übrigens bis heute von beiden Familien gepflegt wird, auch wenn Long bereits 1943 im Krieg tödlich verwundet wurde) sowie die Tatsache, dass Owens der absolute Publikumsliebling war, führten damals die hässliche Nazi-Rassentheorie öffentlich ad absurdum. Aber, wie wir alle wissen, leider nur während jener zwei Wochen im Sommer 1936...
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die neue Woche, passt auf Euch auf und bleibt gesund!
This is an annual event for me, the search for the perfect poppy field. I’ve found three imperfect (though beautiful) poppy fields so far. The first one was in a distant field with no obvious footpath. The second one was more of a wildflower field. The third one, this one, was behind a very robust fence. No happy wandering through this field. So, Fence Friday it is, then. Processed to the limit in Snapseed and Lightroom.

Yesterday we rode out to Kings Farm and got some apples that they still have. 1/2 bushel of Honeycrisp. We love them and now 1/2 price till end of Febuary.
Happy Sliders Sunday.
The hallway's got itself in a knot.
Took a quick shot of the hallway yesterday having bravely taken the stairwell.
Just simply did a swirl with it in PhotoScape and liked the result.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)

Laowa C-Dreamer 7.5mm F.2
💙💛🙏
Futuristic office complex "Linkstrasse 2/4" at the Potsdamer Platz in Berlin. The building complex was designed by Italian-born British architect Richard Rogers (1933-2021) who was known for his modern, futuristic high-tech architecture. Among Rogers' best-known work are the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Lloyd's Building in London. Rogers' Jewish anchestors had moved from Sunderland to Italy in 1800. In 1938, Rogers' family returned to the UK because of the threat Mussolini's anti-Jewish laws imposed upon Rogers' Jewish father William Nino Rogers. In 1991, Rogers was knighted, and in 1996 he was created Baron Rogers of Riverside, of Chelsea in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. He also was a Labour Peer in the House of Lords.
The "Linkstrasse 2/4" building complex is located somewhat "hidden" at the backside of the shopping mall "Potsdamer Platz Arkaden", facing the Tilla-Durieux-Park. Its very unique design that has always reminded me of a giant starship is, however, definitely worth a (photographic) visit.
I can't really tell you much about my processing steps here except that I had processed the image in ON1 Photo RAW. It's one of the images that has been waiting patiently (and fully processed) in my "Flickr waiting line" folder for quite some time.
Happy Sliders Sundays, Everyone!
Teilansicht des imposanten Bürokomplexes "Linkstraße 2/4" am Potsdamer Platz. Entworfen vom italo-britischen Architekten Richard Rogers (1933-2021), dessen Markenzeichen eine futuristisch-moderne High-Tech-Architektur war. Zu seinen wichtigsten Arbeiten zählen das Centre Pompidou in Paris und das Lloyd's Building in London. Rogers' Gebäude-Ensemble Linkstraße 2/4 befindet sich etwas versteckt auf der Rückseite der Potsdamer Platz Arkaden. Die sehr ungewöhnliche, futuristische Architektur, die mich immer an ein Raumschiff erinnert hat, ist aber auf jeden Fall einen Besuch mit der Kamera wert.
Rogers' Familie stammte ursprünglich aus Sunderland im Nordosten Englands. Vorfahren von Rogers waren um 1800 nach Venedig ausgewandert, Rogers selbst wurde 1933 in Florenz geboren. Im Jahr 1938 kehrte die Familie wegen der jüdischen Herkunft von Rogers' Vater und der Bedrohung durch die unter Mussolini erlassenen anti-jüdische Gesetze in das Vereinigte Königreich zurück. Im Jahr 1991 wurde Rogers als Knight Bachelor in den Adelsstand ("Sir") erhoben. 1996 wurde ihm als "Baron Rogers of Riverside, of Chelsea in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea" auch die Würde eines "Life Peer" verliehen; er erhielt damit verbunden einen Sitz im House of Lords.

Laowa C-Dreamer 7.5 mm F/2
My 900th photo upload on Flickr :) I stumbled upon this interior photo of the Reichstag dome while flipping through my photo folders in search of a photo that might be a worthy No. 900. Back then the Laowa 7.5 mm F/2 prime lens had been my widest lens. Now that the dome is open to the public again, I can't wait to plan another visit, and this time I will bring the M.Zuiko 7-14 wide-angle zoom along. The dome isn't easy to photograph, and I'm curious if 7 mm is that much wider compared to 7.5 mm in an interior setting and whether I will benefit from the extra flexibility a zoom lens offers.
Processing-wise, this is a slider already for Sunday. Back in 2019 I still had not been used to doing exposure bracketing regularly, so the original RAW file had been a little on the dark side. To reproduce the open, airy atmosphere of the Reichstag dome, I went both into Color Efex and Luminar Neo and individually processed the RAW file using the high-key filters of both programmes. The final result is a combination of the Color Efex and the Luminar Neo image done by blending in the layers in PS. I hope you like it.
Mein 900. Foto auf Flickr :) Anlässlich dieses "Jubiläums" habe ich meine Foto-Ordner nach einem Bild durchsucht, dass der Nr. 900 würdig ist, ich hoffe, ich habe das richtige Foto gewählt. Die Reichstagskuppel ist gar nicht so einfach zu fotografieren. Bei meinem Besuch 2019 hatte ich mein damals weitestes Objektiv dabei, das Laowa 7.5 F/2, eine Festbrennweite. Da die Kuppel erfreulicherweise endlich wieder geöffnet ist, werde ich wohl bald einen weiteren Besuch planen – und dieses Mal wird das M.Zuiko 7-14 mit von der Partie sein. Ich bin schon gespannt, ob der halbe Millimeter mehr am weiten Ende in Innenräumen wirklich einen so großen Unterschied macht. Und ich hoffe, von der Flexibilät des Zooms zu profitieren.
Bearbeitungstechnisch ist das eigentlich schon ein Slider für Sonntag. Ich hatte damals noch nicht regelmäßig daran gedacht, bei schwierigen Lichtverhältnissen Belichtungsreihen zu machen und so war die RAW-Datei ein wenig zu dunkel geraten. Um die luftig-leichte Atmosphäre im Innern der Kuppel wiederzugeben, habe ich mich hier also an einer kleinen High-Key-Spielerei versucht, und zwar sowohl in Color Efex als auch in Luminar Neo. Beide Bilder habe ich dann in PS miteinander kombiniert. Das Endergebnis seht Ihr hier, ich hoffe, es gefällt Euch.
