Had a walk in the forrest. Spring time is still OK, but the best time for me being in the forrest is winter and that is definitely gone. Everywhere you can now see the fresh green and I was about to show some color images. But then in the end I liked the black and…
Be Good.
As you can see below, it seems that the little extra terrestrial visitor (see here) already made friends with Alicia, Lea, Karisma, Emilia and Fenja. But I also saw him go. The lift is already drawn in and the swirl began. The start went too fast for me and my camera. Have fun on your…
Gräfenstein Stairs – Printed
This Sunday I finally made the Gräfenstein Stairs into a real Twelve Series. That is: I printed it, cut it to A5, cut and folded the box and mounted the title image to it. Here is the result.
Searching for extraterrestrial life
We can give up on this as they found us. And they are already amongst us. While on a walk to get some fresh air I found this alien, probably filling up the batteries in the early morning sun.
Castle Gräfenstein – Stairs
I sat another series of twelve online. It is the common theme of stairs which I found in Castle Gräfenstein. A subset nearly made it into the March series of my 2019 Project, but then I decided that I do not want to destruct this series into a smaller one. Here it is:
Castle Gräfenstein findings
As already mentioned yesterday, I was visiting castle Gräfenstein in Palatinate Forest. I have been there many times since it is next to the little village I was born and grew up. This is an unusual series since the images are done with different focal lengths, some with a 19mm and some with a 50mm….
In Palatinate Forest
Today I visited my parents who live in a small village in the middle of Palatinate Forest. The village I was born. One attraction there is the ruins of Castle Gräfenstein which I visit whenever possible. At least all of my cameras and lenses I ever had, had to visit the castle. So today was…
Neuer Stahlhof Düsseldorf
As you know from my last posts, we had a trip to Düsseldorf last week. Not much time for photography there, but I still got some snaps. Here is an image of Neuer Stahlhof – pretty impressive building. Obviously it ran through DigitalLith. With the ability to categorize presets I am also cleaning up presets…
Three Graces
I found these three graces in a window while walking through the late evening Düsseldorf. This is done with DigitalLith and very light grain which you can barely see in the image above. For that reason I also show a crop so you can see how it looks like in the full image. Click on…
Three Kingdoms
We were visiting our daughter in Düsseldorf and one evening went for Chinese food. Last time we were in Düsseldorf we did not get a table there, but this time we were more lucky. Great place to be. I got a chance for this snap of the neighbor table. What attracted me was that plastic…
DigitalLith – Case Studies – Part 5
Grain again you think? Yes indeed. DigitalLith is about creating that grainy look of a lith print. Color? You can add later. Tone curve? You might manipulate before or after. All those possibilities like coloring, highlight contrast, mid-tone gradient, whatever are built for convenience around a grain machine. It is built so that you can…
Presentation?
The above images shows how it might look like on a desk when trying to find an arrangement of images in an album. For my year 2019 project I print all my images in A3+. That is as big as I can go with my printer. But A3+ might be a bit big at times….
