...and cheers! to your weekend!
[ahhhh i feel so much better now. sometimes i just need to upload film. does my soul good]
“All that we are is story. From the moment we are born to the time we continue on our spirit journey, we are involved in the creation of the story of our time here. It is what we arrive with. It is all we leave behind. We are not the things we accumulate. We are not the things we deem important. We are story. All of us. What comes to matter then is the creation of the best possible story we can while we’re here; you, me, us, together. When we can do that and we take the time to share those stories with each other, we get bigger inside, we see each other, we recognize our kinship – we change the world, one story at a time…”

"The most pious man may not live in peace if he does not please his wicked neighbour." Friedrich Schiller, Wilhelm Tell IV 3
Neighbours, construction noise, traffic noise... cities are loud. So what can you do to regain some peace of mind? Earplugs are an option :) All earplugs have one thing in common – whether you use the orange or yellow foam cones, the classic wax earplugs, or the somewhat more sophisticatedly shaped earplugs with a filter such as the ones in my image – all of them will muffle noise up to a maximum of 30 dB. Normally, I use foam cones if I want to block out some noise for work or falling asleep, but the cones have a slight tendency to fall out, especially when I use them for sleeping. It will be seen, if these "Sleep+" earplugs in my image will stay in place at night, or how well they attenuate noise (23 dB, according to the manufacturer), as I haven't used them, yet (of course I haven't – only for the photo 😉). In fact I've bought them especially for the iSpy theme, but also for later use.
These earplugs came in a really neat ice-blue, capsule-shaped aluminium container which I've used as background. Makeshift filters used for the colourful light were the yellow plastic bottle cap and the red chocolate box lid. The image is a focus stack made of 15 images, and I've used the final in-camera JPG as starting point for the other processing steps. In DXO, I softened the background, and enhanced the micro contrast on the plugs with the "Local Adjustments" tool, and in the general settings I enhanced the vibrancy. Next I went into Analog Efex to achieve a softer, slightly matte look (after all, this is all about tranquility). And even though these silicone earplugs are brand new, I had to do quite some lint cleaning with the healing brush in PS.
HMM, Everyone, and stay safe and healthy (and relaxed) :)
"Es kann der Frömmste nicht in Frieden bleiben...
...wenn es dem bösen Nachbar nicht gefällt." Das wusste schon Friedrich Schiller (Wilhelm Tell IV 3, 1804). Abhilfe bei lauten Nachbarn, aber auch bei Straßen-, Bau- und sonstigem städtischen Lärm können Ohrstöpsel schaffen, zumindest bis zu 30 dB. Dabei ist es völlig egal, ob man nun die gelben oder orangefarbenen Schaumstoffkegel, die klassischen Wachskügelchen oder aufwendiger geformte und mit Filter versehene Stöpsel wie die in meinem MM-Foto verwendet (und letztere schaffen laut Hersteller sogar "nur" eine Schalldämpfung von 23 dB). Eigentlich nehme ich immer die einfachen Schaumstoffkegel, um Störendes bei der Arbeit oder beim Einschlafen abzudämpfen, die Kegel haben allerdings den Nachteil, dass sie, insbesondere beim Einschlafen, gerne aus den Ohren rutschen – und dann ist es mit der Ruhe dahin. Ob diese "Sleep+"-Ohrstöpsel nun bequemer sind und vor allen Dingen besser an Ort und Stelle bleiben als die weichen Schaumstoffteile, kann ich noch genau so wenig beurteilen wie ihre Lärm abdämpfenden Eigenschaften. Denn natürlich habe ich sie bislang nur für das Foto verwendet (und in der Tat extra für das Thema gekauft, aber natürlich werde ich sie dann auch benutzen) :)
Die Ohrstöpsel wurden in einer schicken, eisblauen Aluminiumkapsel geliefert, die ich hier auch als Hintergrund verwendet habe. Angestrahlt habe ich die kleine Szene von links mit einer mit der gelben Plastikflaschenverschlusskappe bestückten LED-Lampe und von rechts habe ich vor die zweite Lampe den roten Deckel einer Mon-Cherie-Packung gestellt – meine Klassiker unter den "Farbfiltern" :) Technisch ist das Foto ein Stacking aus 15 Fotos (in der Kamera erstellt). In DXO PhotoLab 4 habe ich allgemein die Schärfe und die Dynamik erhöht und mit dem "Lokale Anpassungen"-Werkzeug den Hintergrund weicher gemacht (Schieber "Bokeh" auf Anschlag) sowie den Mikrokontrast bei den Stöpseln erhöht. Analog Efex sorgte dann für einen weicheren, leicht matten Look – schließlich geht es ja hier um Ruhe :)
Habt eine entspannte Sommerwoche und passt weiter gut auf Euch auf, liebe Flickr-Freunde :)

FAV + COM FOR ME ^^
Spiegel frontal in der Mitte des Bildes - müßte die Kamera, die das Bild aufnahm nicht im Spiegel zu sehen sein? Genau dort wo das leere Stativ im Spiegel zu sehen ist? Nicht retuschiert!

Think Pink
Perhaps a bitter pill to swallow. Grand daughter Livia is allergic to the dog, so anytime she is over she needs help with that. When got them out I said...."wait a sec" and got the camera.
Maybe it is a little
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show
You just call on me brother, when you need a hand (Chorus)
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Este es el rincón más fotografiado de este bosque en el Parque Natural del Gorbea. No obstante, a veces un pequeño movimiento de cámara basta para que todo cambie.
Espero que os guste.
When I saw these oranges ( produced in Spain ) on the market, I knew they would give a colorful picture !
This is another DRI work (no tone mapping applied).

Elna
El claustre d'Elna és un monument medieval del Rosselló, a Elna. És el claustre de la catedral d'Elna i fou residència dels seus canonges. El claustre es coneix essencialment per les seves escultures romàniques, però a més d'això també hi ha un nombre important d'escultures gòtiques.
El claustre respecta l'esquema d'arquitectura establert al segle XII: cada galeria té cinc pilars quadrangulars i vuit columnes geminades unides amb arcs de mig punt. Està elaborat totalment amb marbre blanc, probablement marbre de Ceret. L'espai central l'ocupa un jardí que a l'època medieval no era accessible, perquè no hi havia cap porta.

Inside a green dream , part one
I've uploaded many dreamy pictures so far, and decided to number them, starting again, with number one.
It looks rather useless to think of original titles for a dreamy photo, because they can be taken everywhere. Ofcourse I'll mention where they were taken, this image of a beautiful shaped tree, a cottage, grasses and water, was taken in a park annex entertainment centre called Plaswijck in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
This is a wedding favor pouch from my nieces wedding, The pouch contains sugar-coated chocolate buttons in pink and white with the words "Love" and a picture of the bride and groom on them.
Dies ist ein Andenken von der Hochzeit meiner Nichte. Der Beutel ist gefüllt mit Schokolinsen die das Wort "Love" und ein Bild von Braut und Bräutigam enthalten.

And of course also Happy International Women's Day!
Design by David Andrén, Johan Andrén, Tjåsa Gusfors, Sweden. The artists behind this year’s church wanted their design to celebrate the greatness and complexity of nature. The visitor is led into the church through a thick forest. The path through the room is not clear from the outset and you will have to slow down and perhaps even take a few detours to get to where you want to be. Suddenly, a holy room appears, filled with light and embraced by a peaceful, tall forest. Between the trees, there is lush and vital greenery, ferns slowly unfolding their leaves and a sunflower radiates behind the cere- monial altar. The center of the sunflower strives both clockwise and counter-clockwise, symbolizing eternal love:
“During the design process, we have thought about everything from nature’s smallest elements to the fringes of the universe and the beginning of time.”
