I took so many good photos last year, categorised them into their respective folders on my oh so organised harddrive and... well... forgot all about them! So I want to dig then out over the new few posts. If memory serves me well, (and it seldom does, (sorry how old am I?)) this was in my front garden, daisies growing amongst the grass on the main lawn area. I noticed here on flickr that people like dreamy softened looking photos, so hopefully this will amongst them.
I hope everyone's week has been going well and so as always, thank you! :)

As promised (previous photo), I've opened the door at the end of the passage for you, and now we're in the sanatorium's most elegant (albeit in a slightly morbid way) lounge. A cocktail, anyone? Dust Martini? Madhattan? Deadquiri? Whisky dour? Or the classic,
a Bloody Mary ;-)
I've re-processed this photo today. As with the previous capture, a processed version has been waiting on my harddrive for months, but when I looked at it today, I found it way too harsh. At that time, I'd checked out DxO (and in the end uninstalled it for good),
and - knowing myself - I'd probably just applied everything possible ;-) This photo is another Lumix LX100 shot. This isn't even sharp all over, so I most likely still had my Oly mounted on the tripod from the previous photo, and this was handheld. I think the slightly blurry parts add kind of a weird underwater touch, but I hope it's still "pleasant" (for an urbex scenery) enough to look at. Well, I think it is, and I hope you agree. I did some more subtle processing here, detail enhancement only here or there, a subtle glow effect (ON1), Natural neutral density filter (Color Efex), and in the end applied some subtle de-noising in Topaz.
Cheers, Everyone, HSS, and I wish you a Happy Sunday and a pleasant new week ahead!
Wie versprochen, habe ich für Euch die Tür am Ende des kurzen Durchgangs geöffnet (siehe vorheriges Foto): Ob dies mal die elegante Lounge des Sanatoriums war? Auf der Cocktail-Karte stehen Klassiker wie Dust Martini (der die Knochen ordentlich durchschüttelt, ganz wie James es mag), Haipirinha, Tequila Moonrise... oder doch der Klassiker Bloody Mary ;-)
Ich habe dieses Foto heute noch einmal neu bearbeitet. Meine bereits seit Ewigkeiten fertige Version hat mir nicht mehr gefallen. Ich hatte damals DxO ausprobiert (und noch vor Ende der Testphase wieder deinstalliert), und wie ich mich kenne, hatte ich dabei alles Mögliche und bestimmt auch alles gleichzeitig ausprobiert. Hier bin ich dezenter zur Sache gegangen, Details nur hie und da verbessert, ein bisschen Glow aufgetragen, den oberen Bereich mit dem "Natural neutral density" Filter aufgehellt und zum Schluss noch in Topaz sanft entrauscht. Dieses Foto ist auch nicht überall ganz scharf; wenn ich mich recht entsinne, hatte ich - von der vorangegangenen Aufnahme - noch die Oly auf dem Stativ und dieses LX100-Foto entstand aus der Hand. Ich finde, dass es dennoch noch gut anzuschauen ist und ich hoffe, Ihr seht das ebenso.
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne neue Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
I found this photograph from an isy morning in the woodlands of the Königsbrücker Heide on my harddrive Its almost three years old and the image quality is far from what I expect from one of my photos today. But the mood for me is georgeous and worth to be shared.
Dieses Foto eines eisigen Morgens in der Königsbrücker Heide habe ich auf meiner Festplatte gefunden. Es ist schon fast drei Jahre alt und qualitativ bei weitem nicht das, was ich heute von einem meiner Fotos erwarte. Doch die Stimmung empfinge ich als besonders schön und es wert geteilt zu werden.
Cleaning up harddrives sometimes leads to nice discoveries: just like this still from a timelapse sequence taken back in May 2011 out of the window of our livingroom.

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but
of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues.
They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love.
~ Washington Irving
I wanted to thank you all for your response to my last post. We tried freezing
the harddrive and that did not work as it will not boot up! We are now looking
into data recovery and see what we can come up with. Hopefully we can find
something and get the photos back.. Fingers crossed!!
Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!!
HBW!!

I have literally hundreds of hummingbird images as well as hundreds of flower images. In an effort to try to utilize some of the archived photos taking up my harddrive, I thought I'd try to combine the two.
Through the texture and layer process I used two photos and one texture as shown below.
1. Lupine photo taken this spring at Thomes Creek outside Corning, California
2. aubergine texture from www.flickr.com/photos/alicepopkorn/sets/72157605289948031/
3. Edited Anna's Hummingbird photo.
#Macro Mondays - #MacroMondays - #Paper
In a time of absolutely excessive digitisation and a fight against our own history it would be necessary to stop for a moment a to remember. Where would we stand today, if there were not uncountless people who wrote down their knowledge and their experiences on paper. On what would we built our future ? I have my doubts that some hundret years from now USB sticks, harddrives our clouds
will reach the same importance.
This here, is the oldest paper I own. It belongs to a chant book printed in 1883.
In einer Zeit der absolut exzessiven Digitalisierung und dem Kampf gegen die eigene Geschichte wäre es mal nötig anzuhalten und uns zu Besinnen. Wo wären wir heute, wenn es nicht unzählige Menschen gegeben hätte, die ihr Wissen und ihre Erfahrungen zu Papier gebracht hätten. Worauf würden wir unsere Zukunft erbauen ? Ich habe meine Zweifel, dass USB Sticks, Festplatten und clouds in ein paar hundert Jahren den selben Wert erlangen werden. Dies ist das älteste Papier, was ich besitze. Es gehört zu einem Gesangbuch was im Jahr 1883 gedruckt wurde.
A view of St Ives.
Well its all going a bit wrong, Peter has lost most of his images as our external harddrive has decided to give up & our PC is grinding & groaning. Santa has promised us a new laptop soon, so if we disappear for awhile its not through choice........;-)
This is an older photo I did in SL that I recently re-discovered while sorting my computer harddrive folders. It's a tribute to the great surrealist painter Magritte.
See my "About" page on Flickr for the link to support my efforts... just the price of a cup of coffee is appreciated. Thank you. www.flickr.com/people/jax_chile/

OK, OK, lame title ;-) But really, the sunshine kind of saved us on that day. None of my photos from that place would have been half as (or at all) interesting hadn't it been for the gorgeous sunshine that breathed life into those old walls. You've seen other captures from this "lost place", an abandoned lung sanatorium, before (please check my album). And since soon it's two years since we've been there (early March in 2018), I thought it's about time to show you another one of the many pictures I'd taken there. This was processed months ago, and patiently waited on my harddrive for its 15 mins of fame :-) This is kind of a premiere nonetheless, because this is the first photo I post from that place that was taken with my Olympus camera and the 17mm F/1.8 lens. I'd taken most of the other captures with my little Lumix LX100, because the 17mm (= 34mm) weren't wide enough for most of the rather small rooms there.
I'd also like to thank all of you for your lovely get well wishes on my previous upload. They mean a lot to me. I hope that I can still thank everyone individually now that I'm slowly feeling better :-)
The next picture I'll upload to my stream will be from that exact same place, because I thought you might be interested in seeing the room that you can detect behind the half-closed door. So stay tuned, please :-) I wish you a wonderful weekend, dear Flickr friends!
Ganz lahmer Titel, ich weiß :-) Aber was hätten wir an dem Tag wohl ohne die Sonne gemacht, die diesen alten Mauern neues Leben einhauchte. Ein paar Bilder von diesem Lost Place, einem alten Lungensanatorium, habe ich Euch schon gezeigt (schaut mal in das Album, wenn Ihr mögt); und da es demnächst (Anfang März) zwei Jahre her ist, dass wir dort waren, dachte ich, dass es mal wieder Zeit ist, Euch ein weiteres Bild von diesem unglaublich spannenden und fotografisch ergiebigen Fotowalk mit Flickr-Freunden zu zeigen. Genauer gesagt gleich zwei Fotos, denn mein nächster Upload wird auch von genau dieser Stelle sein, weil Ihr evtl. wissen möchtet, wie der Raum hinter der halb geschlossenen Tür am Ende des kleinen Durchgangs aussieht? Ich hoffe jdf., dass dieses Foto die Neugier darauf weckt ;-)
Ganz lieben Dank auch für Eure Genesungswünsche bei meinem vorangegangenen Foto, die meine Laune ganz erheblich verbessert haben. So langsam geht es auch gesundheitlich wieder bergauf :-) Ich wünsche Euch ein wunderschönes Wochenende, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
Image from another of our favourite west coast black sand beaches of Auckland. I recently rediscovered this image and never edited at the time. Going through one's image collection on a regular basis can be a good thing. Sadly far too many images just sit 'dead' on a harddrive somewhere.
From back in the day when we could go on holiday.
This was a good day. On bad days you can't see the road.
Well...sort of...I'm about halfway done backing up the harddrive. The computer is still problematic...but I can still post here and there.
My target date for getting all this done is around Monday. Hope you all have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!
Yes, my friends, it\'s been quite some time since I took those pictures. Now that was a bitter cold day, I remember all too well. Fingers almost so frozen that I could hardly press the button ;-).
Knew the pictures from then were on my harddrive. But can you imagine, last year was so exhausting I often couldn\'t even bother to look at what I had in the archives. And editing and posting was way beyond me.
Well, thanks to some friends around here, I think that I should start taking an interest again ;-).
BTW, did I already say "Thank you", JuliSonne ? Picked that photos from "your home" on purpose for my Neustart.
Older Photograph that I had misplaced in the bowels of my harddrive. Taken a couple of years prior to posting. It was a chilli Feb, but we were living in Calgary at the time so nothing near the temperatures we returned home to!

An older photo I found on my harddrive. View over the Lake Constance (under the clouds...) at sunset.

Ein Blick vom "Höchsten" über den Bodensee (unter der Wolkendecke). Ein schon etwas älteres Bild.
2010-2019 resulted in some great adventures and photographs. I am going to steal some formatting from Brian Plant and share a few from the archives that have not been previously posted.
Often times most of the "fails" end up sitting on the harddrive forever but this seemed like a fun one to share. We were pretty excited to hear the ECO set call the dispatcher and request some railroad back to Conway. We were not so excited to see lite power come around the corner. At least it provides a nice unobstructed view of the now removed signal bridge?
I'm pretty sure I love autumn the most when it becomes to photography. Took this one 4 years ago and it rested somewhere on a harddrive, time to load it up!
I bought a new computer (in October) and today I finally took the plunge to start it.
Somehow I manged to leave all my most recent pictures on the old computer and I am too lazy to try and find them right now.
At least this one is showing the station you've seen during the last days bu as a building site :o)
Waiting for the pandemic to end - and a free way back to the Faroe Islands - I found some memories on my harddrive. View over the fjord near Leirvik with Kalsoy (left), Kunoy (middle) and Bordoy.

Description: A colourful landscape in a state of flux, somewhere on my harddrive for a while. I almost forgot how beautiful this scenery actually was on a stormy sunny afternoon.

Whenever it's cold I dive into my harddrive.
Looking for pictures of sunny days.
Today I digged up my photo's of Crete.
So I'm going to upload some.
For fun.
To get warm :-)
Yet another odd one from my harddrive, I remember writing a comment ready for this but bottled out from uploading a while back, what I liked when I was on the beach was the step cut out by the running water of the river Alt running off of the beach, it looked quite dramatic, all though you can see the step to the right of frame, it doesn’t come across as dramatic as it felt, my boots were sinking into the soft sand and I feared that all though I was quite excited about it, if I had gotten the picture I wanted... it would have been lost to the sinking sand, so this is what I bought back....
Thanks so much for looking. Comments, faves and constructive crit., always very welcome, graphics not preferred

After struggeling with a harddrive failure for five days, I'm back publishing photos. So joy and sadness come together closely in this photo. On the one hand I'm really glad, I could save 99.5% of my old photos, on the other hand I'm very unhappy that I won't be able to see these mountains as it had been planned in three weeks.
Stay healthy flickr friends and don't forget your backups 😊😷😊.
While going through my photos to delete some (to create space on my harddrive for new ones ;-) ) I found this pic, taken 2 months ago in Steinhude...
Wishing you a really wonderful weekend, my friends :-))
Too busy for flickr these days, even though there is a lot of new stuff on my harddrive. Preparing exhibition and a photography visit to Bosnia at the same time.... But I really need Flickr to sort out what photos are "keepers" so this photostream is far from dead :-)
Finally processed after sitting on the harddrive for a while! Please only paste awards if you include some feedback - thanks :)

#windowwednesday
Another spontaneous upload of an old(er) picture, one that, hadn't I picked it for Window Wednesday today, would have probably gone back to another months- or even year-long slumber on my harddrive. So up it goes, before I get second thoughts about it (which happens all too often with too many images).
A color key / selective colour experiment which I don't do all too often; in fact, regarding uploads to Flickr, I think it's a first, but I have a few other images in the making with that processing technique. There's so much going on here with the light and the shadows – which add so many extra patterns to what is in that place anyway – that I thought it might help to structure the image if I left the red chairs red, those on the folding-screen included, because I thought that that's an extra layer of real vs. painted in combination with the layer of black and white vs. colour. I'm not sure if it really works as an image, but I'm showing it to you anyways, because otherwise... (see the first sentence of my description).
I had started to process it with selective colour months ago, so that idea wasn't one I got today, but the inclusion of the drawn chairs on the folding-screen was a new idea I got just today (and not all chairs there had been red, so I had to actually paint a few of them to make my idea work properly) when I re-processed the image in DXO PhotoLab, Lightroom and PS. Photo taken back in 2018 with the fabulous LX100 at the Königliche Gartenakademie (a beautiful garden centre nearby the Botanical Garden). This is one of the repurposed greenhouses, and greenhouses practically consist of nothing but windows, so I thought it would be perfect for Window Wednesday.
HWW, and Happy Hump Day, Everyone :)
