These are the last two (for the time being) from Holywell Bay. I must have 50 or so scenes at different shutter speeds and angles that make similar scenes so different.
Still lifes are a challenge for me. First starting with your subject you then built up. Do you use a white or black background or something else? Composition is next to find a pleasing and interesting display. What kind of natural lighting, front, side or rear? And how many fill cards to fill in the shadows. And finally manually select the aperture, ISO and shutter speed with a prime lens which requires you to move the camera on the tripod rather than a zoom lens. And then finally hope you got lucky. Takes one back to the old Kodachrome days.

Albrechtsburg Castle, Part Three.
This was the first of the five photos I took that evening in Meissen. Because this angle shows the castle more from the side, it becomes clear just how enormous the complex is.
What I find particularly captivating here is the orange glow. Normally, Albrechtsburg Castle is a brilliant white, which is also very impressive.
But as soon as the lights come on in the evening, the view changes completely.
And now, with the contrast to the blue hour atmosphere, the orange looks perfect.
What I also find interesting from this perspective is that it looks as if the castle is standing on the bridge, which, of course, it isn't.
This side effect, however, is pure coincidence. I chose my vantage point based on where I liked the foreground best.
Die Albrechtsburg zum Dritten.
Dies war das erste der fünf Fotos, die ich an diesem Abend in Meissen gemacht habe. Dadurch, dass dieser Blickwinkel die Burg mehr von der Seite zeigt wird ersichtlich, was für eine riesige Anlage das ist.
Was mich hier besonders begeistert ist dieses orange farbene Leuchten, Normalerweise ist die Albrechtsburg nämlich leuchtend weiß, was auch sehr beeindruckend aussieht.
Doch sobald am Abend die Beleuchtung an geht, verändert sich der Anblick total.
Und nun, mit dem Kontrast zur Blauen Stunde Atmosphäre wirkt des Orange perfekt.
Was ich aus dieser Perspeltive auch spannend finde ist, dass es so wirkt, als würde die Burg auf der Brücke stehen, was sie natürlich nicht tut.
Dieser Nebeneffekt ist allerdings purer Zufall. Denn meinen Standpunkt habe ich danach ausgesucht, wo mir der Vordergrund am besten gefallen hat.

The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino is a five-diamond luxury hotel and casino resort located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, United States, on the site of the old Sands Hotel. Designed by KlingStubbins, the hotel tower contains 36 stories and rises 475 feet (145 m). The Venetian is owned and operated by Las Vegas Sands. The Venetian also serves as the seat of the corporate headquarters for its parent company.
The Venetian resort complex is (together with the adjacent Sands Expo Convention Center and The Palazzo Hotel and Casino Resort) the world's second-largest hotel, with 4,049 rooms, 3,068 suites ranging in price from $169 to $10,000 per night and a 120,000-square-foot (11,000 m2) casino. Since its opening, The Venetian Macao is now the largest casino in the world, beating The Venetian, Las Vegas.
In April 1996, Sheldon Adelson announced plans to create on the property the largest resort on the Strip. This project would be situated on the former Sands property. On November 26, 1996, eight years after it was purchased by the owners of The Interface Group—Adelson, Richard Katzeff, Ted Cutler, Irwin Chafetz and Jordan Shapiro, the Sands Hotel was imploded to make way for The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino. Groundbreaking for the hotel began on April 14, 1997.
The resort opened on May 3, 1999, with flutter of white doves, sounding trumpets and singing gondoliers, with actress Sophia Loren joining The Venetian Chairman and Owner, Sheldon G. Adelson, in dedicating the first motorized gondola. Built at a cost of $1.5 billion, it was one of the most expensive resorts of its kind when it opened.
On June 27, 2003, the 1,013-room Venezia Tower opened. It was built on top of the garage parking lot.
in 2010, it was announced that it will be affiliated with InterContinental Hotels Group.[2]
In October 2011, the Cantor Race & Sportsbook opened, which was the only Las Vegas sportsbook that was open 24 hours a day. On June 11, 2012, the Venetian opened Carnevale, a summer-long festival that is anchored by a nightly 3-D projection show on the clock tower. In September 2012, The Blue Man Group show closed and relocated to the Monte Carlo, after being at the Venetian for six years.
The hotel uses Venice, Italy, as its design inspiration and features architectural replicas of various Venetian landmarks, including the Palazzo Ducale, Piazza San Marco, Piazzetta di San Marco, the Lion of Venice Column and the Column of Saint Theodore, St Mark's Campanile, and the Rialto Bridge. The design architects for this project were The Stubbins Associates and WAT&G
Let this picture from last spring serve as a warning. Before you know it, it will be spring again. There will be more Canada geese!

Another fabulous day out with the FFF+ Lots of shots were taken and I need to sort through them all still!
(Yet) another wobbly to amuse you tonight :)
I’ve taken this gate before (non-wobbled). It’s to be found on one of my local walks where the path follows the bottom of the woods. Because the get is at right angles to the path (which passes to the left) and it looks across the valley to the hills beyond there is always some interesting backlight looking out from the dark of the path.
This is the sort of subject that tends to work quite well as an ICM. In spite of the abstraction you can still see what it is.
So I just had to take a wobbly of it for my 100x project which is on the downward slope to the finish now (though you may have been thinking that we've been going downhill for a while ;) ). It's been taken with a bit of jiggle and over-sharpened as usual to get the lines, but lowered Clarity to add too the smoothness - not quite the contradiction it seems :)
This sounds like just the sort of place alcoholics would meet, but I never see any. Very strange!
Thanks for taking a look. Hope you enjoy it. Happy 100x :)
