Am Ende bleibt das Gerüst, die pure Idee 💡

Geneva, New York

Green and the month of March go together so well in my mind! I couldn't help myself, so I had to play with this photograph, in iPhoto.

A bit of a cliché, this - but, hey, I shoot clouds and flowers, too :(

One of the small windows in the thick stone walls of the Maiden Tower in the walled inner city ('old city') of Baku. The walls are 5m (!) thick, hence the steps to reach the window (they are side branches from the main spiral staircase, which has similar tunnel appearance - but no light ahead :) These narrow windows are displaced (staggered) along a spiral line on the cylindrical tower wall, so that each gets a direct sun ray as they follow the trajectory of the sun in the sky. The tower is believed to have been used as an astronomical observatory (a strong tradition in Persian and Arab history), although legends describe it a a prison for a ruler's daughter (or sister), who threw herself form the tower to end her captivity - hence the name.

Da der kleinere APSC-Sensor nur die Bildmitte abbildet, sind vor allem die mit APSC-Kameras entstandene Bilder sehr scharf und weisen kaum chromatische Aberrationen oder Vignettierung auf.

Einer der größten Helfer bei Tele-Objektiven ist deshalb ein Bildstabilisator. Auch das Tamron-Tele-Objektiv verfügt über solch einen Bildstabilisator, zu erkennen an dem Namensbeisatz VC, das hier für den von Tamron entwickelten „Vibration Compensation“ Mechanismus steht und laut Tamron eine bis zu 4 Blendenstufen längere Belichtungszeit ermöglicht.

Die Steuereinheit dieses im Objektiv eingebauten Bildstabilisators verfügt über zwei Bewegungs-Sensoren, die horizontale und vertikale Vibrationen erfassen und an den Mikroprozessor melden. Der berechnet einen Rotationswinkel und gibt entsprechende Steuerbefehle an die Antriebseinheit weiter, auf der sich drei elektromagnetische Spulen befinden. Davor liegt auf einem Kugellager eine bewegliche Linse. Kommt es nun zu Vibrationen, bewegen die magnetischen Spulen die Linse entgegen der Vibrationsrichtung.

Dieser Vorgang wiederholt sich ganze 4000-mal pro Sekunde und gleicht damit ständig minimale Vibrationen aus.

Es sind zwar immer noch leichte Bewegungen zu sehen, sodass sich der Bildstabilisator zum Filmen nur bedingt eignet, aber beim Fotografieren ist er für verwacklungsfreie Bilder aus der Hand fast unverzichtbar und sorgt dafür, dass man das Stativ zum Fotografieren meistens auch unbesorgt zuhause lassen kann.

Seeing as how I've only ever had one photo on Explore, it's pretty easy for me to take crap shots. ;) It was harder to figure out what to fix with duct tape. I decided to hold the trailer cage up with it. So here I am, being pulled through life as it passes me by. I should have used this one for "emptiness" yesterday -- LOL. I threw in some crossprocessing just 'cause.

Boredom led me to my archives...and trying out some new photoshop plugins....I like them better this way. My favorite place on Earth. The Tetons..I want to go back soon...I feel like I never get to stay long enough...I always leave wishing I had gotten this shot or that shot....Maybe I should pitch a tent and live there 8). Nah, it gets pretty cold. But, a girl can dream. Last trip, I forgot my coat....I kicked my own butt the entire time I was there, but, you can bet I stayed anyway.

Built between 1898 and 1930 as a sanatorium for lung diseases, Beelitz-Heilstätten was one of the largest hospitals in and around Berlin. It served as a field hospital in the two world wars and was later the Soviets' major military hospital in East Germany. Abandoned in 1994 with the Russian withdrawal, most buildings have slowly fallen into ruins since. What a shame.

Shot from the rooftop terrace of the Park Inn Hotel at Alexanderplatz. Stitched from 6 frames because I had no wideangle lens with me. With 22 megapixels, the resulting file can barely rival a current full-frame SLR.

Looks like overdone tonemapping but isn't. I just played with the adjustments in Lightroom (mainly Fill Light and Blacks). I know it's not everyone's taste and I'm pretty sure I won't like it anymore myself in a few days/weeks. Take a look at another shot from the same location.

C4

In 1938, Citroën introduced the Citroën Traction Avant in a "Commerciale"

version with a tailgate,

initially with a two-piece tailgate, of which the upper piece hinged upwards, cutting well into the roof, and after 1954 with a one-piece top-hinged hatchback.

The Citroën Traction Avant (French pronunciation: ​[tʁaksjɔ̃ aˈvɑ̃]) is an executive car ( a business tool ) produced by the French manufacturer Citroën from 1934 to 1957.
