This one is taken on our way back to south dakota somewhere on the Highway 89. But for me it belongs to our short trip to yellowstone and reminds me of that very cold night, which we spend in the car, because neither our tent nor our sleeping bags were made for temperatures arround 2° C and fresh snow on the mountaintops. We were only prepared for summer temperatures. Well next time, we'll know better and won't behave like stupid tourists. ;)

The story of this photo:
This is my latest macro shot. Over the last few weeks, I have been spending my time doing a lot of stuff that did not have too much to do with taking or editing photos. It did have to do with photography, but just not with the creative part of it. Anyway, yesterday, I got fed up with this stuff and I started messing around with my macro gear. The sun just went down and I found this tiny foilage with those delicate little hairs. I figured that this would look great against the sun. So, I got out my little syringe, applied a few droplets and took a whole bunch of shots with the sun in different spots relative to the foilage.
Initailly, I went with an aperture of f/20 to f/25 to get all of the leaves in focus. But that brought parts of the background too much into focus too. So, I went with f/8 which blurred the background entirely, and I took different shots with different foci. Then I used focus stacking in Photoshop to blend those images together. Et Voilà, subject in focus, background blurred.
And here is the lesson for you: Always know what you can do to an image in post-processing while you are shooting. This may help you solve problems and lets you create images that may be very difficult to create otherwise.
How it was shot:
> Taken with a tripod
> Three exposures - used focus stacking to bring the whole subject into focus
> Camera: Nikon D7000
> Lens: Nikon AF-S Micro-Nikkor 105mm 1:2,8G VR
How it was post-processed:
> Post-processing was done in Photoshop
> Topaz DeNoise
> Topaz Infocus for sharpening
> Topaz Details for bringing out the details in the petals and some basic color correction
> Saturation adjustent layer (master)
> Vibrance layer (vibrance)

Flickr EXPLORE 10/18/17 - Thank You!
.... Werner, Hilde und Rafi, dass Ihr mir mit Rat und Tat zur Seite gestanden habt um diese schöne Ausstellung möglich zu machen. Was wäre ich ohne Euch ....
Dass Du, liebe Rafi, völlig unerwartet auf meiner Vernissage aufgetaucht bist, hat mich unendlich gerührt. Du hast mir damit eine große Freude gemacht !
Ebenfalls ehr gefreut habe ich mich auch über die Besuche meiner Flickr-Kontakte, die den Weg zu meiner Ausstellung gefunden haben und die ich dadurch persönlich kennenlernen durfte. Danke also an Ralf, Patrik, André und die beiden, die aus Dortmund und ... war's Oldenburg? .... angereist kamen und hier nochmal winken wollten, damit ich sie zuordnen kann ... :-)))) ....
Ich hoffe, ich habe jetzt keinen vergessen ... bei all den Besuchern, die ich hatte .... ;-)) ...
De nuevo paseando por el campo con mi amigo David. Puede parecer un lugar idilico pero debo decir que despues de las fotos, y de tirarme por el suelo para conseguir algun encuadre "imposible" tengo la cara marcada por los rasguños de las ramas y plantas.
En fin....
Il torrente Centa è quasi asciutto, ma ha dei tratti dove l'acqua scorre ancora con molta forza. C'è un punto in mezzo al bosco particolarmente suggestivo, e, molto fotogenico!
Harmony.
The Centa river is almost dry, but of the spots where the water still flows with great force.

Hoy hace un año de mi comienzo en flickr, comienzos casi siempre duros, sino conoces gente que esté introducida en este pequeño mundo. Yo creo que flickr es un cajón en el que hay miles de buenas fotos y personas, que están por descubrir. Mención especial quiero hacer a mi cuñado Jesús, quien me introdujo en este mundo de flickr y me ayudo en mis comienzos.
Quiero agradecer a todos los que vitáis mi galería con asiduidad, a los que la han visitado en alguna ocasión, a los que os gusta comentar, etc... Porque gracias a todos tengo las fuerzas y la motivación para seguir adelante.
Esta fotografía que os quiero mostrar, posiblemente representa una de las variantes fotográficas que más me gusta. En exteriores, donde en gran medida intervienen las condiciones climatológicas y tienes que conjuntarte con ellos para conseguir algo irrepetible. Llevo un tiempo pensando en la fotografía que quería subir este día, y después de varias candidatas esta ha sido la elegida, el resto de ellas están o estarán pronto en mi galería.
En este tiempo, he tenido encuentros y desencuentros, pero sobre todo buenos momentos. He conocido a un grupo de personas con las que he tenido una mayor afinidad y ha crecido una bonita amistad, de la ahora estoy muy orgulloso. Entre ellos están Gema, Eber, Pilar, Teresa, Toñy, Anna, Nathalie, Javi, Raúl, Juanma, Jesús, Rafael, Jesús CM. Con algunos he compartido técnicas, opiniones o simplemente momentos inolvidables e incluso en algún caso conocernos en persona.
Espero seguir compartiendo con todos mi forma de ver las cosas bajo el prisma de mi cámara. Yo como apasionado de la fotografía, disfruto viendo vuestras fotografías, e incluso en muchos casos aprendo de vosotros.

Today makes it a year since I opened my Flickr account. It is always difficult to begin in a place like this when you don't know anyone who has been around here for a while. I believe Flickr is like a big drawer where there are thousands of good photographs and people to be discovered. I'd like to thank my brother-in-law Jesús, who introduced me to Flickr and helped me in my beginnings.
I would also like to thank all the people who visit my photostream regularly, those who visit it occasionally, those who like leaving comments, etc.... because thanks to all these people I have the strength and the motivation to keep going.
This picture that I want to share with you, possibly represents one of the photographic variations I like the most. It's taken in the open, where the weather conditions play an important part and you have to adjust to them to capture something special. I have been thinking for a while which picture I would like to publish today and this has been my choice; the rest of the pictures that were in my final selection will also be published soon.
In this past year I have had good times and also misunderstandings. I got to know a group of people with whom I've shared more and become friends, of which I am very proud; among these: Gema, Eber, Pilar, Teresa, Toñy, Anna, Nathalie, Javi, Raúl, Juanma, Jesús, Rafael, Jesús CM. With some of them I've shared techniques, opinions or simply special moments and I have even met a few in person.
I hope to be able to go on sharing the world as I see it through my camera lense. Being myself passionate about photography, I enjoy looking at your pictures and in many cases, learning from you.
