a firewall in petting, a small village on the shore of lake waging. exposed to north west and getting sun only late in the afternoon, the virginia creeper showed all colors from deep green over blue to red and yellow.
postprocessing this image, i did not touch the saturation but only adjusted brightness and contrast and added a small amount of local contrast enhancement plus refocus sharpening in digikam.
This is no b&w picture… The evening light was incredibly soft, showing only faint layers of the mountains in the slight fog. In the lower right corner you see Fraueninsel with the clocktower of the monastery’s church. Taken from a public transport boat to Chieming on the east coast of Chiemsee.
The original contrast range was around 3 f-stops. I used lightzone for linux to restore the original impression of the situation.
found outside a soap shop in st. wolfgang, austria.
taken with the famous beercan (ofenrohr for german-speaking), and i had to learn holding it steady 
suddenly summer is over. cold rain starts, and the snow suddenly is visible again not high above my hometown. strange feeling to operate the camera with wet, cold, unwilling fingers again.
used lightzone for linux to differentiate the sky and faint mountains.
as there is no time to go out shooting, one last from the shenzen festival in nuremberg. The others are here, here and here.
i found their pose really striking in front of the black background.
raw file developed with lightzone for linux.
