Shadow Impromptu
Monday, September 6th, 2010
<p>Low morning sun and a narrow alley constitute pretty good ingredients for interesting sights. Sometimes all I need is a bit of leasure time and (after a morning cappuccino) just an alert eye.</p>
Zweifussgänger
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010
The title of course is an hommage to Otto Steinert and his famous “Einfussgänger”, here on artnet.
I did not much postprocessing in bibble5, just a careful enhancement of the red color of the shoes. In retrospect it seems like a wonder to me that I managed to frame this so perfectly that any further cropping was unnecessary.
Update: The wallpapers for April are here. Enjoy.
Long shadows
Monday, August 31st, 2009
The days becomes shorter, the sun rises later, and the distinctive golden glow of the light is definitely a sign of ending summer. The good thing is that I don’t have to get up that early to stalk the first light, and the golden gleam paints everything in the most favorable colors. In that way, parting with summer is easy, and the misty, cold, grey daysare are still far away.
Evening Sky, Krk
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009
In the narrow alleys of Krk the shadows of the houses make shure that it does not get unbearable hot (though unbearable is relative, today we had 37°C). However it gets dark pretty soon in the evening down there, and only the windows of the upper floors still catch some daylight or reflect it when seen in the proper angle.
The warmth of the day still lives in the colors of the picture to the right. In spite of the prevalent shadows, all areas still breathe warmth.
Island of the Shadows
Saturday, August 15th, 2009
The fine light in the afternoon in the many narrow alleys of Krk brings out shadows of all kind on the walls, which were already subject of a number of posts in the past. Maybe the Solar Electric Mantis was the most prominent example. Here is a more reticent specimen.
The electric lines are always good for a nice intermezzo with the sun rays, and so are the roofs and chimneys that get projected on the sometimes intensely coloured neighbouring walls.
And the obligatory ice cream for the patient daughters (not subject here) is the final reward on top.
a blue bike for andreas
Friday, July 10th, 2009
over at his blog andreas manessinger showcases his one-image-a-day post number one-thousand! my heartfelt congratulations for the many excellent images he showed, his extraordinary perseverance, and not least his communicative skills.
andreas’ blog was the first blog i followed regularly when i started blogging myself. and in the beginning it were largely his encouraging and challenging comments that made me intensify my work and speed up my posting frequency. i didn’t forget his comment “can we have more of that please? three images in november? c’mooon 
” – andreas, thank you very much for this!
shadows on the wall, and power lines
Sunday, June 14th, 2009
the already familiar alleys of krk showed different aspects in the late afternoon soon, walking them together with the kids. the earlier visits i had paid to them early in the morning, when light and air were cooler and daily life was just starting.
together with the family, working a scene was not possible – there is a certain incompatibility of family holidays and the slow, deliberate act of creating a picture out of the subject matter. but that’s no reason to complain, just a reason to adapt: seeing, spotting and making a bit-worthy selection of the framed subject is the matching style for these walks. and in this way i enjoyed it.
tree house
Monday, January 12th, 2009
(pun? what pun?) sometimes the pictures come at you when you just lift your eyes to search for your way. i tried variations of this, some with a small roadside cross as foreground, but in the end the tightly framed plain shadow on the facade was the most convincing shot for me. well – kill the clutter is one of the few advices i try to follow…
solar electric mantis
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008
in krk, the mantis can be met not only in human incarnations next to discos (as i was told) but also in insect form in the woods, on stone walls etc. the only specimen i found was on a wall in the middle of krk town, albeit a capital example.
long shadows on the beach
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008
batticaloa beach again – a real bonanza of photographic opportunities this has turned out to be. my first pictures dates back to 2004, still before the tsunami. at that time i had only 1.5 days there and was surprised about the peaceful place batticaloa was then. to my utmost luck my friends idea of going there with the families for christmas holidays did not materialize. 2nd day of christmas 2004 the tsunami struck.
hauling in the net
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008
the raw files from the last sri lanka mission are still a treasure chest. today i found this one. some adjustments in lightzone created a picture that appeals a lot to me – definitely not a “picture that sucks” as it was the topic of paul lester’s post yesterday.
the recipe given there ‘practice, practice, practice’ is a good one, but in my experience somtimes a pat on the back from an experienced, open-eyed fellow can help a lot to bring one’s vision forward. that’s the reason why i am deliberating about visiting a workshop.
snow and fence
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008
a lesson in ‘learning to see’. i had a bland image on my monitor, taken when i was quite tired at the end of an excursion with the family. i remembered that i had taken it because of the beautiful curve of the fence posts and the shadow curves of the fence’s wire, but there was too much optical garbage clobbering the real subject. so out of a 12.7 MB file i cropped 1.5 MB, the resolution of a 2 year old mobile phone camera…
