My wife alway says the blue of the sky in Spain is different than in Germany. In the beginning I was very sceptical (the sky is the same in any part, or?) but after some time, I can only confirm it: The blue is much more intense than in Germany. If it's for the location more north or the near of the Mediterranean Sea, I don't know.
But once you compare the two you will say the same.
Especially at noon when the sun is at its zenith, the sky is darker - depending on the camera angle.
Putting the sky as a main part of the photo normally leads to a boring photo.
So, to emphasize it anyway, I needed a good but simple contrast and composition.
Shot on Velvia with Nikon F601. Post-processing in PSE.
Inside the southern spire of the Köln cathedral.
The climb up here was exhausting. 96 metres up a tight winding spiral staircase. And when you get here, there are holes in the roof, letting the rain in! We got a bit wet. But it was worth it.
october 7, 2009 - today, i turned 28 years old. my coworkers and students made it a really awesome day and the phillies gave me a game 1 win in the nlds! i took this photo before heading out to meet up with laurel, ryan and john at the drafting room to celebrate. (it was john's birthday, too!)
A quick shot before I leave for a little trip to see my family and a three day tandem cycling trip with the Hubby.
This is a totem pole that stands outside the Navy Exchange at the Smokey Point annex in Everett, WA.
My Project brief is to go up to strangers in the street that I think have an interesting look/style and ask them if I can photograph them. This girl did not want her photo to be taken, but I managed to convince her and got a great shot out of it :)
When processing this image I thought I'd see how it would look in colour. This is probably the only image that I felt worked due to the way she positioned between the gates, and the lighting.
So here you go, one colour image!
Not abandoned - this is the door to my sister's chicken coop. It's just not being used right at the moment.
Sydney sky at dawn, through a fisheye lens. The Opera House and Harbour Bridge are at lower left. Taken from Mrs Macquarie's Point. You can see bits of the fig trees on the point at the top of frame.
I didn't get a chance to take my usual Straight Up Friday SP in my apartment this morning, so you get this one in of me in my office. Fortunately, I have GREAT light from two large windows in my office, so it works out. Still not in focus completely--although not as bad as usual--but what picture of mine is anymore. Durn non-auto-focus fiddy.
