A seven-image Photohike series from Burg Eltz in Germany's Eifel region, created on an early September morning between dense mist, soft sunlight and ancient woodland.
I had come for the castle, hoping to make a photograph that was different from the countless images I had seen before. At the car park, I chose the longer route across the plateau. I kept calculating how much time I had left before the mist would disappear.
Along the way, I photographed quiet paths, morning light and small details that seemed secondary to my destination. By the time I reached the castle, the mist had almost gone. Only later, looking through my photographs at home, did I begin to recognise what I had found along the way.
Months later, I understood something else: my pursuit of a special photograph was not so different from the trophy pictures I had criticised in others.
The accompanying Photohike essay, Die Rechnung, is available in German on photohikers.de.

Eine siebenteilige Photohike-Serie von Burg Eltz in der Eifel, entstanden an einem frühen Septembermorgen zwischen dichtem Nebel, sanftem Morgenlicht und alten Wäldern.
Ich war wegen der Burg gekommen. Ich wollte ein eigenes Bild von einem Motiv schaffen, das schon tausendfach fotografiert worden war. Am Parkplatz entschied ich mich für den langen Weg über die Hochfläche und rechnete weiter, wie viel Zeit mir bis zum Verschwinden des Nebels blieb.
Unterwegs fotografierte ich stille Wege, Morgenlicht und kleine Entdeckungen, die mir zunächst nebensächlich erschienen. Als ich die Burg erreichte, war der Nebel fast verschwunden. Erst beim Sichten der Fotografien zu Hause begann ich zu erkennen, was mir unterwegs gelungen war.
Monate später begriff ich noch etwas anderes: Meine Jagd nach dem besonderen Bild war dem Wunsch nach einem fotografischen Beweis, den ich bei anderen kritisiert hatte, gar nicht so unähnlich.

A photographic journey through the lush landscapes of the Bergisches Land – from tranquil forest streams to wide reservoir views and delicate macro scenes. Light, texture, and mood define this visual narrative of a morning immersed in nature.
I live near the Duke of Portland's Estate in Nottinghamshire; it's kind of weird to me that I will drive 40 miles away to shoot in the Peak District only to have this only a mile or two away.
The 5th Duke of Portland was an eccentric lord who employed 1500 workers between 1854 and 1879 to build a series of tunnels and cuttings so he could travel around his estate without being seen by his staff or members of the public. His workmen used the cut and cover method for building tunnels where some of the cuttings have left scars on the landscape
A lone figure stands where the path opens into brightness.
The trees hold the rest in shadow.
A quiet moment of black and white street photography and urban solitude.
A photographic journey through the lush landscapes of the Bergisches Land – from tranquil forest streams to wide reservoir views and delicate macro scenes. Light, texture, and mood define this visual narrative of a morning immersed in nature.
A quiet autumn morning, where golden leaves shimmer in the soft, misty light and the woodland path slowly disappears into the mist.

Thought I’d change things up a bit with a candid taken at Bluesmobile Cruise Night in Mount Prospect last summer.
I didn’t post this earlier because I didn’t like the cluttered background. But when I saw an image posted yesterday by one of my contacts, jackalope22, in which he had edited some people out of the background, I decided to revisit this shot. I didn’t try to edit anyone out. But I did help the bokeh along with some softening and desaturation to try and deemphasize the clutter.
Happy Bokeh Wednesday, everyone!
Folks, it probably won't last for long, but another of my contacts, ForestPath, has discovered a way to escape from the new Flickr format. See her comment below:
NOTICE:For everyone who speaks English, and has been forced into Flickr's horrible "New Experience" today, there is still a way out of it.
If you go to the very bottom of your main photostream page, there is a horizontal list of languages you can choose. If you don't mind your menus and buttons etc being in a different language, you can choose one of those other languages, and your older format will return. Also, everyone else's format will be the older format too, when you visit their pages. What a relief!

After having captured this scene several times on b&w film, I wanted to see whether color film has any advantages with regard to controlling the shades of gray in post-processing.

A winding trail to Crater Lake, where granite and gold meet beneath a restless sky. The season’s last fire burns through the forest, illuminating every leaf and stone. Here, at the edge of Delaware Water Gap, the stillness of fall invites reflection — a reminder that even as the year fades, there is beauty in every turning path.
Wer langsam geht kommt auch ans Ziel!

A neck ditch (Halsgraben), sometimes called a throat ditch, is a dry moat that does not fully surround a castle, but only bars the side that is not protected by natural obstacles.
An enchanted place somewhere in the Austrian forests ...

Focusing at the trees on the left at f/11 results in sharpness in the focal plane and a moderately blurred background.
This hiking trail near Holzerath follows the route of a Roman road.
