Die Form der Wolke hat mich zu dieser Spielerei inspiriert.
The shape of this cloud has inspired me to this gimmick.

I specify that I have never used gimmicks to increase the number of views.
Also, I don't change from hour to hour the loading time of my photos to get more visits to the detriment of other flickers.

A business card box given away by a pharmaceutical company. I personalized it using one of my thousands of polar bear photos which I made a sticker of to cover the company logo - that's now "under cover" , so to speak :-))
[That's why I'm not willing to use my photos for promoting any commercial companies !]

Little gimmick with the telephoto lens. In my opinion, the long focal length is an advantage for capturing exactly what you want to show in the picture.
Kleine Spielerei mit dem Teleobjektiv. In meinen Augen ist die lange Brennweite von Vorteil, um genau das im Bild festzuhalten, was man zeigen möchte.
Back from the States. Had enough time for such gimmicks in the evening. A forest picture from the Odenwald, the rest is a graphics tablet
Auf den ersten Blick kann das nicht die Krumme Lanke in Berlin sein. Berge, wo gibt es in Berlin Berge? Im benachbarten Bezirk Wilmersdorf liegt derTeufelsberg 120,1 mtr. und in Köpenik der Große Müggelberg 114,7 mtr. Der Berg den Ihr hier seht ist der Fujiyama 3776,24 m ragt er in die Höhe.
Bei der Bearbeitung in Luminar bin ich zufällig bei Al Angneted Sky auf Objektauswahl gelandet und war sehr überrascht was mit meinem Foto geschah als ich Montains 4 anklickte. Mein See hatte im Hintergrund plötzlich den Fujiama. Eine nette Spielerei.
Liebe Freunde, ich wünsche Euch einen heiteren Sonntag, seid weiterhin achtsam und bleibt gesund, ich sende herzliche Grüße an Euch und Eure Lieben.

At first glance, this cannot be the Krumme Lanke in Berlin. Mountains, where are there mountains in Berlin? In the neighbouring district of Wilmersdorf there is the Teufelsberg 120,1 mtr. and in Köpenik the Großer Müggelberg 114,7 mtr. The mountain you see here is the Fujiyama 3776,24 m high.
While editing in Luminar I landed at Al Angneted Sky on object selection and was very surprised what happened to my photo when I clicked on Montains 4. My lake suddenly had Fujiama in the background. A nice gimmick.
Dear friends, I wish you a merry Sunday, stay alert and stay healthy, I send my best wishes to you and your loved ones.

À première vue, cela ne peut pas être la Krumme Lanke à Berlin. Montagnes, où y a-t-il des montagnes à Berlin ? Dans le quartier voisin de Wilmersdorf se trouve le Teufelsberg 120,1 m et à Köpenik le Großer Müggelberg 114,7 m. La montagne que vous voyez ici est le Fujiyama 3776,24 m.
Pendant le montage dans Luminar, j'ai atterri à Al Angneted Sky sur la sélection des objets et j'ai été très surpris de ce qui est arrivé à ma photo lorsque j'ai cliqué sur Montains 4. Mon lac avait soudain le Fujiama en arrière-plan. Un bon gadget.
Chers amis, je vous souhaite un joyeux dimanche, restez vigilants et en bonne santé, je vous adresse mes meilleurs vœux ainsi qu'à vos proches.

bad weather - time for gimmicks

Last minute idea and entry for the "Flame" theme. I actually wanted to skip, but then remembered that pair of "kaleidoscope glasses" once bought as a gimmick at a museum. This must be the quickest MM shot I've ever taken. From taking the photo, some ultra-fast processing in Topaz Sharpen AI and ON1 Photo RAW to the upload in 39 minutes ;-) I wish it could always be that uncomplicated ;-)
This is one single tealight which I'd placed in front of a mirror and then photographed it through the above mentioned pair of faceted glasses.
HMM, Everyone, stay safe and healthy, and have a nice week ahead!
Idee und Foto in allerletzter Minute für das MM-Thema "Flame". Ich hatte eigentlich gestern beschlossen, nicht teilzunehmen, aber dann fiel mir heute die Kaleidoskop-Brille ein, die ich mal aus Spaß in einem Museum gekauft hatte. Also ganz schnell das Teelicht, an dem ich mich gestern so vergeblich abgemüht hatte, angezündet (vor einen Spiegel gestellt), Kamera auf's Tischstativ, eines der facettierten Gläser zwischen Flamme und Objektiv gehalten, auf den Auslöser gedrückt - fertig.
Wenn es doch immer so flott und unkompliziert ginge. Dieses ist das schnellste MM-Foto, das ich je gemacht habe, 39 Minuten von der Aufnahme über ein schnelles Bearbeiten in Topaz Sharpen AI und ON1 Photo bis zum Hochladen, das ist ein persönlicher Rekord ;-)
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde, bleibt gesund und passt auf Euch auf!
Gib fünf. Und miste aus.

I'm in the process of clearing out all kinds of things. Lots of magazines, old paper samples, print proof copies and, above all, office paperwork – yes, even books will still have to believe in them ;-) – end up in the paper garbage can. And since metal has no place in the waste paper, I neatly pulled off these old paper clips. And I will probably keep these little ones, at least the unbent ones – even if I will most likely not use them anymore. An outdated method – because: who still prints something today and then staples it together?

Ich bin gerade dabei, alles Mögliche auszumisten. Ganz viele Magazine, alte Papiermuster, Belegexemplare und vor allem Papierkram aus dem Bereich Büro – ja selbst Bücher werden noch dran glauben müssen ;-) – wandern in die Papiermülltonne. Und da Metall im Altpapier nichts zu suchen hat, habe ich diese alten Büroklammern säuberlich abgezogen. Und werde die Kleinen wohl aufbewahren, jedenfalls die unverbogenen – auch wenn ich sie höchstwahrscheinlich nicht mehr verwenden werde. Eine veraltete Methode – denn: wer druckt heute noch etwas aus und heftet es dann zusammen?

I tried the e-m1mk3's hand-held hi-res mode for this. It turns out I'm not stable enough at slower shutter speeds for the 16 shots it collects to make sense to the combining algorithm. Combining that many frames gets rid of some of the high-ISO noise though so ISO 1600 I shot this at is reasonably clean despite the steep curves I applied. It's not a worthless gimmick, I'll try it on something that actually needs hi-res next.
It's partitions in an art gallery shot from the floor above. Arter, Istanbul.
I thought this was a nice advertising gimmick for the Glenn Lester Company. I think carrying around that heavy sign has been hard on the tires though. This stone yard is located off a well traveled country road so I pulled into the entrance drive to take a picture. I had to stay right near the entrance to get a picture without the piles of dirt blocking the old truck. While my car was blocking the entrance for about one minute, I heard a loud horn. Of course, it was a large stone truck trying to get into the yard. I have had the worst luck lately. Anyway, I quickly moved further into the yard and found a place to pull out of his way and turn around. Probably about one stone truck an hour comes in and out, unless I am there. HTT
I’ll be mostly off for the next couple of days for Memorial Day Weekend! Have a nice weekend, my friends.
I have been experimenting with taking day shots and using Photoshop's "invert" feature to convert the shot to a negative image. Day then becomes night. This is essentially the same shot as "Adams Street" (Malta, Illinois) in my feed below. A gimmick in my opinion for sure but still interesting to play around with.
It is neither an apocalyptic threat proclaiming the end of all life,
nor a gimmick with Photoshop, Luminar or any other software.
This is merely a spectacle that can regularly be seen above the Bremen steelworks when the blast furnaces are tapped.
In clear nights, all you see is a red glow, but with low-hanging clouds the effect is very dramatic.
If you've ever wondered why someone decides to go on a tour at four o clock in the morning only to walk an hour through the icy night after another hour's drive, then this should be a first clue to the answer. An outlook in two ways, so to speak.
This photo of the Vilsalpsee in Austria is not the reason, it's more of a gimmick that I've always wanted to do. You'll have to wait a little longer for the proof that every effort was more than worth it for me.
Falls Ihr Euch schonmal gefragt habt, warum es sich jemand an tut morgens um vier auf Tour zu gehen um nach einer Stunde Fahrt eine weitere im Dunkeln durch die eisige Nacht zu laufen, dann soll dies einen ersten Hinweis auf die Antwort sein. Ein Ausblick in zweierlei Hinsicht sozusagen.
Dieses Foto vom Vilsalpsee in Österreich ist nicht der Grund sondern es ist mehr eine Spielerei, die ich schon immer mal machen wollte. Auf den Beweiss, dass sich jeder Aufwand für mich mehr als gelohnt hat, müsst Ihr noch ein wenig warten.

This is a low tide fjord scenario from Iceland's Westfjords. I found it absolutely fascinating how the power lines were traced to cross the landscape using all kinds of gimmicks to get the ppwer poles across the water and beyond.
Happy Textural Tuesday!
The typical picture of “buffalo” roaming the great North American plains understates just how far the bison ranged in their heyday. In the 18th century they could be found as far afield as Alaska, New York . . . and, yes, even Florida.
So when the Florida park service in 1975 reintroduced a small herd to Paynes Prairie State Park, just south of Gainesville, it was no gimmick. It was part of a plan to restore the Alachua Savanna to something like its appearance in the late 1700s.
This is only the second time we have seen any of the bison. This was taken from the viewing platform on Bolen Bluff Trail. There are two highways that cut through the Prairie, 441 which is behind the bison in this image and I-75 on the other end of the Prairie. We found out there is an Eco-passage for the animals to cross under 441, but the road was being resurfaced while we were there and we couldn't walk out on the boardwalk accessible from the highway.The herd numbers about 50 bison at this time.
Happy Telegraph Tuesday!
We were at the Sequoia National Park spending our evening looking at the mountain ranges submerged with the pink-purple hue left by the setting sun at the Moro Rock. We decided to stay for the stars. We kept a keen eye for shooting starts but didn't saw any (there were some small sparks but we didn't agree that they were meteorites).
After it went pitch dark it seem to be a good place to shoot some stars. The first shot itself showed a clean milky way! I was excited and thought to use the galaxy as the backdrop! We put the camera on the tripod close to the ground and stood in front and tried our best not to shake for the next 30secs. But as usual we moved a bit and so took a total of three shots.
This is a single shot with no gimmicks, no photoshoping etc, just the usual, blacks, whites, highlights, contrast and a bit cropping form the bottom.
