I have tried to capture the nothern lights and the Big Dipper together for awhile now. Rhis is my best attempt to date. I'm not sure how many exposures I took trying to get this photo. The northern lights were out but not extremely strong. After about an hour they briefly got more intense. It was not a really clear night so that gave less stars visible in the sky which fortunately brought out the Big Dipper. The fog lights of my vehicle were turned on for about half the exposure giving a little light to the foreground.

Down came the rain and washed the spider out

Out came the sunshine and dried up all the rain

And Incy Wincy spider climbed up the spout again

"Try Again Tomorrow"

(feat. Darling West)

If all you did today was, open your eyes

If all you did today was, turn off your phone

If all you had the energy to do today was, cry

Then you should know, that you're not alone

And it's okay to hide

If all you said today was, leave me alone

Push your friends away, and say 'go mind your own'

If all you did today was try to not feel anything, for anyone

Then you should know, you're not alone

'Cause it's okay, it's okay to feel lost, and feel tired

It's alright, you can turn off the light uninspired

And try again tomorrow, try again tomorrow

Alright

Just try again tomorrow, try again tomorrow

Alright

If all you did today was, try to survive

Force a smile and say that, everything's fine

If all you did was try to keep up appearances, a front for everyone

Then you should know, that you're not alone

Then it's okay, it's okay to feel lost, and feel tired

It's alright, you can turn off the light uninspired

And try again tomorrow, try again tomorrow

Alright

Just try again tomorrow, try again tomorrow

Alright

All I did today was, go back to bed

Pray for better days as I, laid down my head

💖 In advance I want to thank you all for your always kindness, support, beautiful awards, favs, and messages. Please Know that I see all of your comments and awards and I appreciate them so much as well as each on of you for taking the time.

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame

Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned

But just because it burns, doesn't mean you're gonna die

You gotta get up and try, and try, and try

Gotta get up and try, and try, and try

You gotta get up and try, and try, and try

I tried for this shot last weekend but an eastbound never came through. I waited patiently for 90 minutes but eventually it got too dark. So, I went back today and got lucky. I was hoping for an eastbound train while there was enough light in the sky to use the colorful clouds for a backdrop. I hoped. I got :-)

Have a great weekend everyone :-)

.:: ♫ The Silence ♫ ::.

♫♪♫ ... I'm trying to find a signal fire

Let me know when I should move

But you, amplified in the silence

Justified in the way you make me bruise

Magnified in the science

Anatomically proved that you don't need me

Why do I desire the space?

I was mourning after you ... ♪♫♫

....to get the shots like this with a darkish backdrop and the sun just right (to me)

Spot the two birds :)

For a change, this is a new (outside!) photo, taken just a few days ago at the wonderful Britzer Garten, one of Berlin's biggest and most beautiful public parks (please check my album for more "Britz bliss", if you like).

For better dynamic range, I've used exposure bracketing (three images), pre-processed the images in DXO PhotoLab (sharpness and DeepPrime denoising only), from which I directly went into HDR Efex Pro to combine the images. I'm trying to get away from the annual Adobe subscription, and combining images from an exposure bracketing series in HDR Efex instead of Lightroom is one step into that direction. Unfortunately, whenever I think I can finally leave Adobe behind for good they come up with improvements such as the new "supersize" function (now also available in LR), a ton of new presets for LR, and other interesting stuff (and I'm still used to the LR/PS workflow, and the layers in PS). Well, maybe I'll be ready next year ;)

Extra sliding was done in Color Efex, where I added some "Brilliance and Warmth" and a tiny bit of "Contrast Color Range".

Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe and have a nice week ahead!

Hey Kitty... I see what you did there.

I would tell you about the things

They put me through

The pain I've been subjected to

But the lord himself would blush

The countless feasts laid at my feet

Forbidden fruits for me to eat

But i think your pulse would start to rush

Now I'm not looking for absolution

Forgiveness for the things i do

But before you come to any conclusions

Try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments i kept

If you try walking in my shoes

If you try walking in my shoes

Morality would frown upon

Decency look down upon

The scapegoat fate's made of me

But i promise now, my judge and jurors

My intentions couldn't have been purer

My case is easy to see

I'm not looking for a clearer conscience

Peace of mind after what I've been through

And before we talk of any repentance

Try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments i kept

If you try walking in my shoes

If you try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

Now I'm not looking for absolution

Forgiveness for the things i do

But before you come to any conclusions

Try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments i kept

If you try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments i kept

If you try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

If you try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

Tried to make this P51 mustang look as powerful as it actually is. With it's massive Rolls Royce Merlin engine. 27 Liters V12... Simply an amazing machine.

I tried to create this whitebox effect. I got a couple of more shots coming up from this amazing aircraft in the same style!
