This image is a true oldie, it has been sleeping on my hard drive for almost exactly five years. Now that it's only a few days until Christmas, it "woke up" and demanded its place in the Flickr limelight, because even though it doesn't look particularly Christmassy (it had been pretty mild on that day, something like 12 °C), it is a Christmas image, because I've captured it on Christmas Eve 2016 from aboard a small cruising ship on our way to Vienna. There even is some cloud pareidolia to be found here, I see a weird duck and a (very human-like) eye looking upwards ;)
In post I've jazzed up the (very pastel) colours a little and did some subtle denoising, that's all. I don't know whether I will also take a special Christmas image this year, probably not. So I wish you all Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas already now. I wish you relaxed, happy days, stay safe and healthy, and take care! I'll be back for Macro Mondays' "Redux" in a week :)
Dieses Foto ist ein echter Oldie – und ein echtes Weihnachtsbild, auch wenn es nicht so aussieht. Aufgenommen habe ich das Foto (mit dem manuellen "Altglas" OM Zuiko Auto-S 50mm F/1.4) am 24.12.2016 zu Beginn einer Flusskreuzfahrt (meiner ersten und sehr wahrscheinlich auch letzten, Kreuzfahrten sind, glaube ich, nicht so meins) auf der Donau (laut Flickr in "Nideristaraich"). Es war sehr mild gewesen, so um die 12 °C, weshalb es auch keinen Schnee gab. Dafür hatten wir zum Heiligabend mal keine dichte Wolkendecke gehabt (wie sonst die gesamte Fahrt über), sondern diesen entspannten, stimmungsvollen Sonnenuntergang, bei dem es sogar ein wenig Wolkenpareidolie zu sehen gibt: Ich sehe hier eine etwas seltsame Ente und ein ziemlich menschlich aussehendes Auge, das nach oben blickt ;)
Bearbeitungstechnisch habe ich lediglich die Farben aufgepeppt und das Foto dezent entrauscht. Vermutlich ist dies auch schon mein Weihnachtsfoto für dieses Jahr, ich weiß noch nicht, ob ich noch ein extra Foto machen werde. Wir sehen uns aber auf jeden Fall nächsten Montag beim "Redux"-Thema für Macro Mondays wieder ;) In diesem Sinne: Habt trotz der angespannten Lage schöne, entspannte, friedvolle Weihnachten, passt weiter gut auf Euch auf und bleibt gesund :)
This tiny orchid has been with me for about 13 years now and blooms from around October / November to March / April. Sometimes more, sometimes less gorgeous. Every year the struggle for the bare survival, because (unfortunately) it is not cared for at all. I don't know how she survives that every year?!?!

Ho sempre amato leggere. Fin da quando ero bambina l'odore dei libri mi ha affascinato come niente altro. Forse perchè dormivo vicino ad una grande libreria e mi addormentavo guardando i colori dei dorsi impilati in bell'ordine sugli scaffali. Sognavo il momento in cui avrei potuto finalmente prenderli e capire quello che c'era scritto, senza farmelo raccontare. Però li "leggevo" lo stesso, libri vecchi senza figure, con copertine più o meno colorate. Mi immaginavo storie e avventure, con fate e principesse e tutte, sempre, con un finale grandioso.
Non ho perso l'abitudine di sognare e ancora mi affascina l'odore della carta stampata; un libro, prima di leggerlo, lo devo annusare e sentire se "sa di libro".....
E così, eccomi qui.... Una pausa un pò lunga, dopo le ferie dopo gli inghippi del rientro dopo qualche delusione (fotografica) dopo traslochi di ufficio dopo tante cose. E ricomincio da una bicicletta :) perchè finalmente, in quel famoso giorno del raduno a Ferrara, proprio quel giorno, ho finalmente trovato una sella Brooks! Fotografata in fretta, con il proprietario lì che guardava stupito, forse chiedendosi perchè mai un gruppo di persone mica tanto normali andava in sollucchero per una sella....
Un grazie a tutti voi, a quelli che mi hanno scritto, chiedendosi dove fossi andata a finire, a quelli che ..."finalmente non ci appioppa più foto di biciclette"...., a quelli che hanno lasciato stelline e commenti. Sarà bello ritrovarvi tutti, rivedere le vostre foto, sentire i vostri commenti e le vostre impressioni. Sarà bello essere di nuovo qui.

Photo taken with a Canon FD 50mm f1.4 on a Sony A7. This is a lens I have carried for 51 years. First on a Canon F1 and then on the Sony E mount cameras I have using an adapter. I've learned quite a bit about photography since 1972. I might one day master this lens.
Auto Topcor 58mm f1.4 is great lens with load of history. Until now I almost exclusively used it to her strong sides: landscape, portraits. I was not impressed with its bokeh. It was nice, smooth, controlled, almost modern, but I prefer, kind of, the opposite.
On my last outing with this lens, I had very favourable conditions for a bokeh photography, sunshine after rain in the late afternoon.
Those are few results of my effort.

Many thanks to everyone for your visits, comments and faves! Very much appreciated!
When I'm bored and feel the Desperate need to take a photo my fist instinct is to take the easiest path and set up the tripod on my back porch. I used my old Canon FD 50mm F1.4 at f11 for the four vertical shots I stitched together for this panorama.

Nach ausgiebigem Testen, ist die Entscheidung gefallen. Die Linse bleibt im Bestand und bekommt ein Album.

After extensive testing, the decision has been made. The lens will remain in the inventory and will receive an album.
A windy, snowy day. Good for experimenting with longer shutter speeds in order to show movement in the air. Canon FD 50mm f1.4 at f11.

Many thanks to everyone who has viewed, fave'd and commented on my photo. With best wishes, Simon
A second sunrise photo over downtown Vancouver (BC, Canada) on a Friday morning. 1600ft over Burrard Inlet about 5 minutes after the beginning of civil twilight -- the best light of the day.
