"CONSTRUCTION" - SOTN Challenge #66
www.flickr.com/groups/shockofthenew/discuss/7215770883002...
On Saturday afternoon we stopped in the capital at a small shopping centre for a few things. I was lucky that there was construction going on right next to the parking lot. This is a combo of two of the few shots i quickly grabbed. The construction worker on the top right was looking at me quite suspiciously, he must have thought i was a right weirdo:-))

A recent photo, taken two and a half weeks ago at the Messe Berlin (trade fair grounds of the Messe Berlin). At the moment, the Messe Berlin functions as one of Berlin's five vaccination centres, and I'd accompanied my mother when she had her first vaccination appointment, but I had to wait outside, because only the vaccinees were allowed inside. But since I'd brought my camera(s) along (of course I had, the Oly and the Ricoh), I whiled away the (short) waiting time by taking some photos – a most welcome diversion from the "stay at home, leave only for neccessary errands" routine. Although, of course, the vaccination had been a very neccessary (and long awaited) errand, too ;) And next Wednesday, my mother will get her second jab of the Biontech-Pfizer vaccine.
This photo shows the Berlin Radio Tower, the older brother of the Berlin TV Tower, and, one could say so, the younger brother of the grand Eiffel Tower – I think a certain resemblance can't be denied. The Berlin Radio Tower, however, is of a much lighter, slimmer appearance than its world famous brother. The concrete foundation of the 146 metres high tower spans a mere 20 square metres and it is also the only observation tower in the world that stands on porcelain insulators. The Berlin Radio Tower was built between 1924 and 1926, and in 1932 (other sources say 1935) the world's very first TV programme was broadcasted from the tower. I can recommend a visit to the Radio Tower's viewing platform which, at a height of 126 metres, offers a really nice view of Berlin. There's also a restaurant (at 50 metres).
Here, I particularly liked the natural, delicate-looking ramification of the still bare branches of the trees in the foreground in comparison to the filigree, elegant construction of the Berlin Radio Tower. So my "sliding" aim was to highlight all these structures. I wanted to achieve an airy, graphic, "high-key-ish" look. The image itself is a HDR made of five single (exposure bracketing) images. I first processed the images in DXO with only a few basic adjustments, before I let Lightroom do the HDR combination work. I did that, because I wanted to use the really excellent DeepPrime denoising technology that DXO offers (albeit for RAW files only). After combining the images in LR, I went into Color Efex, were I applied the filters "Brilliance and Warmth", "High Key", "Reflector Efex (Soft Gold)", and the "Skylight Filter", all individually tweaked to my liking.
P.S. I've added the geotag for the spot I've taken this image from (the central dividing strip of the Masurenallee), not for the Radio Tower itself.

If you like anything on my photos, I'm very pleased... just share your kindness, I'm grateful in advance for your views, likes and comments... a lot of thanks :)
All sorts of processing here. With LR I enhanced the natural blues in the succulent plants, pushed the shadows to increase contrast and added texture to bring out the geometric shapes of the leaves; using Brushstroke I transformed the image into a painting; and in Lightleap I added a rainy overlay.
For Sliders Sunday. So what to do with a less than perfect photo ( and there are more than one)? Try a bit of post processing and blur techniques! HSS

The sun is out today -YAY!
Off to celebrate my Dad's 84th Birthday, so sorry to post and
I seem to have a bit of a blue theme over the last couple of days - not intentional! This was a shot taken on my favourite beach a while ago - the patterns in the sand reminded me of trees. Inverted the image to give a blue tone. HSS!
“Yarra’s Edge” is a digital art piece I’m posting for Sliders Sunday.
The background image is from one of my original photos from along the Yarra River near Crown Casino, featuring the Sandridge Bridge (original photo is linked in first comment). My model is created in Midjourney, so this is basically some practise in selection/extraction and compositing then colour matching, colour grading and changing the tones to achieve the result I wanted.
A shot of my daughter packing a travel bag, actually:-)

This church in the ghost town of Cottonwood, SD. has been abandoned for many decades. But still in its decay,it still exudes a sense of calmness and strength in the storm of life...
Have a great sliders sunday all!

I am not a fan of these disgusting, prehistoric looking bugs, but I decided Sliders Sunday was the perfect way to show it off! HSS!
