Laowa 7.5mm F/2
For #sliderssunday
As autumn is definitely around the corner, here's some colourful memory of early summer, taken at the Botanical Garden back in June on a photowalk with Sabine.R.
The Laowa ultra wide-angle lens tends to produce some really strong, sometimes a little harsh colours, so I hit the HSL sliders in LR to get a better colour balance and all-over warmer touch, then went into ON1 Photo Raw, where I applied the HDR filter ("Glow"), next an extra non-HDR "Glow" filter for a softer look (method "darken"), and an ever so slight split tone effect. Then into Aurora HDR for some very subtle HDR sliding, and finally into Luminar 3, where I enhanced a few very small details (like the flower pots lining the flower bed / lawn leading up to the Main Tropical Greenhouse).
The beginnings of the Berlin-Dahlem Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum date back as far as 1573 and to the "Pleasure and Kitchen Garden" of the Berlin Palace, then located on the grounds of what is now the "Lustgarten" ("pleasure garden") area in the Berlin-Mitte district. In 1679 - the official "year of birth" of the Botanical Garden and Museum -, when the aforementioned kitchen garden had become too small, the Great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm commissioned a modern agricultural garden in the (then) outskirts of Berlin, along Potsdamer Straße (today the Kleistpark area of Berlin-Schöneberg). The excessive growth of Berlin (but also the growth of the Botanical Garden itself) at the end of the 19th / beginning of the 20th century again made it necessary to consider a relocation of the garden. Between 1888 and 1910 it was finally moved to its permanent location in (Berlin-)Dahlem. The Main Tropical Greenhouse, which you can (partly) see in this photo, was built between 1905 and 1907 and is, to this date and with a length of 60 m and a height of 23 m (198,85 x 75,45 feet), still one of the largest steel-glass-structures in the world.
Happy Sliders Sunday, and have a great week ahead, dear Flickr friends!
Die Anfänge des Botanischen Gartens und Museums Berlin reichen bis ins Jahr 1573 zurück, auch wenn der damalige "Lust- und Küchengarten" des Berliner Stadtschlosses noch nicht so bezeichnet wurde. Als besagter Garten, der sich auf dem Gelände des heutigen Lustgartens in Berlin-Mitte (gegenüber dem neuen Stadtschloss/Humboldtforum) befand, langsam aus allen Nähten (oder besser Beeten) zu platzen drohte, beauftragte der damalige Kurfürst Friedrich Wilhelm die Verlegung des Gartens vor die Tore Berlins, an die Potsdamer Straße (heute der Kleistpark in Berlin-Schöneberg). Als in der Ära der Belle Époque am Ende des 19. und dem Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts das exzessive Wachstum Berlins eine Ausdehnung über die damaligen Stadtgrenzen hinweg erforderlich machte, geriet auch der - sich ebenfalls vergrößernde Botanische Garten - erneut ins Blickfeld der Stadtplaner. Zwischen 1888 und 1910 zog der Botanische Garten an seinen finalen Standort nach Dahlem (heute zum Bezirk Steglitz-Zehlendorf im Berliner Südwesten gehörend) auf einen ehemaligen Kartoffelacker der Domäne Dahlem (die es heute ebenfalls noch gibt) um. Das Große Tropenhaus, das Ihr teilweise im Hintergrund sehen könnt, wurde zwischen 1905 und 1907 von Alfred Körner erbaut und ist auch heute noch, mit einer Länge von 60 m und Höhe von 23 m, eine der größten Stahl-Glas-Konstruktionen der Welt.
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!

Another inexpert attempt to create this black&white collage for #SmileonSaturday…
if it doesn’t pass muster, I give up
Used to be able to create a collage easily on big huge labs— not anymore

Strange, we've seen him before sitting waiting in the carriage, but the Sunday train is now sliding out of the station.
Oddly enough the leaves are still on our hedge much to the delight of dozens of sparrows who hide out from predators there.
I pumped up the greens a bit to bring it closer to mid season form.
