#Donnerstagsmonochrom
You don't see images processed in monochrome on my Flickr stream all too often. But here I thought it looked best. The thingy you see here is a playground carousel, photographed at the Britzer Garten. I'd seized the short moment when the carousel was not in use ;) Since the carousel's benches were painted in vivid red, I'd toyed with the idea to go for a colour-key-style processing at first, but in the end I liked the pure b&w look better, because the benches didn't really make sense to me as that special element that should be highlighted with the use of colour.
Converted to monochrome in Silver Efex where I used the preset "Film Noir 2" as starting point. I've still tweaked it here or there, because that filter creates a very contrasty, kind of harsh "silhouette" look with really deep blacks and almost completely blown-out whites, and I thought it looked nicer with more textures left in the image.
Viele Bilder in kräftigem, kontrastreichem Schwarzweiß gibt es in meinem Flickr-Stream nicht, aber hier sah SW einfach am besten aus. Ich hatte noch überlegt, etwas Farbe im Bild zu belassen, weil die geschwungenen Holzbänke dieses interaktiven Spielgeräts in leuchtendem Rot lackiert waren, aber in reinem SW wirkte das Bild doch am besten. Entwickelt in Silver Efex, wo ich das Preset "Film Noir 2" als Ausgangspunkt genommen und dann noch ein wenig angepasst habe, weil mir der doch sehr spezielle, Silhouetten-artige Look dieses Filters (mit tiefen Schwarztönen und fast völlig ausgefressenem Weiß) ein wenig zu extrem war.
Bei dieser Parkmöblierung handelt es sich um ein sogenanntes Sitzkarussell (sitzt man bei einem Karussell nicht eigentlich immer auf irgendetwas? Auf Holzpferdchen, Polizeimotorrädern, einem an langen Ketten befestigten Stuhl?); wenn man, am besten mit vereinten Kräften, an dem glänzenden Tisch-Rad-Dings in der Mitte dreht, fängt auch das Karussel an, sich zu drehen. Kürzlich fotografiert im Britzer Garten in dem kurzen Moment, als das Gerät mal nicht von Kindern umlagert war ;)

Macro Mondays theme Anachronism
Does anyone remember playing with these in the street or in the playground? My grown up kids (24 & 27) have no idea what they are!
This is my interpretation of an anachronism. I have no idea if it is or if it isn't but I'm going with it as everything else failed!
Width of frame is around 4cm.
Happy Macro Monday! 😊
Playground Lights show what kids do the world. With their lightheartedness can light up the darkness in the reality. They can distrcat us grown-ups from the struggles we have to face every day.

Another orb out in Hobgoblins playground. This is the last lightpainting from the meetup. It was the best time. Thanks Sergey for making it happen. Thanks everyone else for being awesome.

Have a great fence friday!
Simple ICM in the playground as I try to look at familiar areas with a different perspective. This was my first walkabout after being in Hospital for 14 nights with Lyme Disease. Oh my I'm so slow and for heaven's sake check yourself for ticks. I'm on IV Antibiotics for 28 Days at home. The pain was horrendous in my back and arms and had Bell's palsy both sides of face. There was no bullseye bite mark from a tick but the test results came back after 10 days verify Lyme Disease. Any way up and walking now, lost 13 pounds and have very little upper body strength. Hence some ICM's for a bit until I can hold a camera steady.. Shot with a variable ND filter that I just purchased so I can have more opportunities for ICM during bright situations.
