ABOUT THIS IMAGE
Light through the Needle
On May 3, 2016 I had a great day with my very good friend and great photographer Bob Canepa. We started out in a gem of a cove that is in between Breaker Point and Ragged Point and then moved north up the California Central Coast to Pacific Valley.

Omgeving Linne: o.a. stuw met fietsbrug, kerk, luchtwachttoren.
Luchtwachttoren 8L3.
Een luchtwachttoren was in de jaren 50 en 60 van de 20e eeuw een uitkijkpost die in Nederland door het Korps Luchtwachtdienst (KLD) werd gebruikt voor het afzoeken van het luchtruim van Nederland naar Russische vliegtuigen in het kader van de Koude Oorlog. De toenmalige radarapparatuur was nog ongeschikt voor snelle, laagvliegende vliegtuigen. Het KLD werd opgezet om "door middel van uitkijk- en luisterposten vijandelijke vliegtuigen waar te nemen en aldus gegevens te verstrekken, welke nodig zijn om vijandelijke luchtaanvallen te kunnen bestrijden en de eigen troepen en de burgerbevolking tijdig te kunnen waarschuwen voor naderend luchtgevaar". De dienst was erop gericht om vliegtuigen tot 1500 meter hoogte te kunnen waarnemen. Om deze waarnemingen te kunnen doen werd een netwerk van luchtwachttorens opgebouwd.

Rudolf Stolz, bekannt vor allem durch sein Meisterwerk, den 1924 geschaffenen “Totentanz” (Fresken) am Sextner Friedhof, wurde 1874 in Bozen geboren. 1943 übersiedelte er nach Sexten. Wie seine Brüder Ignaz und Albert, war Rudolf Stolz ein Anhänger des Historien- und Genremalers Franz Defregger. Zusammen mit seinem Bruder Ignaz verwaltete er auch das Erbe des österreichischen Malers Albin Egger-Lienz. 1960 starb Rudolf Stolz in Moos bei Sexten.
Bereits zu Lebzeiten wurde Rudolf Stolz für seine Werke geehrt, z.B. mit der Verleihung des Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart-Preises (1940) und der Ehrenmitgliedschaft im Südtiroler Künstlerbund (1958). Wenige Jahre nach seinem Tod ließ die Gemeinde am Hauptplatz von Sexten ein Museum nach den Plänen des Schwiegersohnes, Architekt Erich Pattis, errichten. In zwei Schauräumen konnten dort über 160 Bilder und Skizzen zu Fresken, dazu zahlreiche Aquarelle und Studien ausgestellt werden. 1969 wurde das Museum eröffnet. 2010, anlässlich des 50. Todestages, wurde der Hauptraum dann neu gestaltet, großformatige Bilder neu gerahmt und die Sonderausstellung “Die Malerbrüder Stolz” gezeigt. 2011 wurde das Museum um die Dauerausstellung “Rudolf und Albert Stolz als Kriegsmaler 1915/16″ ergänzt.
Der bereits erwähnte “Totentanz” am Friedhofseingang in Sexten zieht zahlreiche Kunstliebhaber an. Siebenmal erscheint im Werk der Tod und tanzt mit verschiedenen Menschen. Und alle sind in seiner Macht… Daneben hat Rudolf Stolz auch die Fresken im Inneren des 1929-1931 erbauten Hotels “Drei Zinnen” geschaffen, die aber nur für Hotelgäste zu besichtigen sind. In Bozen, seiner Geburtsstadt, ist eine Grundschule nach Rudolf Stolz benannt.

Dug up this shot from the latest California trip. Met this colorful guy (or gal) at the Pismo Beach Pier on a drive from SF to LA. Shot at 300 mm focal length and am quite impressed with the sharpness from the Tamron 28-300mm lens.
Treated with Niksoftware D-Fine 2.0, Color Contrast Range, Reflector Effects, Viveza (Eye) and Sharpener Pro - each of which were applied subtly.
Explored Oct 17, 2009
Yes, I intentionally asked her to hold the roses inverted. This was photographed at the Bakersfield AMTRAK station with only window light, no reflector, or flashes used.
Tuesday started with rain and by afternoon we had a mixed cloud sky. Much more interesting than totally grey or blue! Three exposure HDR processed with Nik HDR Efex Pro 2. Further processing with Nik Silver Efex Pro 2

ABOUT THIS IMAGE:
On this day, which was overcast and drizzly, I decided to drive north along the coast and capture long exposure images. Before getting some good images near San Simeon below Hearst Castle, I stopped at Harmony (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmony,_California) where behind the Glassworks building lies an old rusted Dodge truck. I have been photographing this truck off and on for 20 years and decided to try some new tricks. This is the result.
