Altstadt

Not only the size and beauty of this cathedral, but also its moving history, the complete destruction by bombs in World War II and the reconstruction, which has been started 50 years later, made it a unique building that is known far beyond the borders of Germany.

Hamburg, Germany My first photo reaching 1K and 1.1K favs.

This spot at the "Brühlsche Terrasse" seemed to be another good spot in Dresden to shoot a bigger panorama. I stayed there all evening until complete darkness and made quite a few HDR exposer series. Despite this one was pretty early and long before blue hour, it came out well.

A beautiful sunset in Heidelberg photographed in October when the weather was still nice ;-)

When I look out of the window now I don't like what I see. Hopefully winter arrives with some snow soon so I have some now subjects to shoot.

For now I'm browsing through some shots I have taken this year and process them. This one was shot using a lee 0.6 soft and hard GND and I also did several exposures.

I blended those to get better detail throughout the image. For those interested here's a video describing the technique I use: landscapephotographymagazine.com/2011/blending-multiple-e...

I know I already posted this but it never hurts to post again ;-)

have a nice evening or day, depending where you're located.

cheers

A golden autumn glow on the castle of Heidelberg just before the sun set behind the hills.

(wikipedia) Heidelberg Castle is a ruin in Germany and landmark of Heidelberg. The castle ruins are among the most important Renaissance structures north of the Alps. The castle has only been partially rebuilt since its demolition in the 17C and 18C. It is located 80 metres (260 ft) up the northern part of the Königstuhl hillside, and thereby dominates the view of the old downtown. The earliest castle structure was built before 1214 and later expanded into two castles circa 1294; however, in 1537, a lightning-bolt destroyed the upper castle. The present structures had been expanded by 1650, before damage by later wars and fires. In 1764, another lightning-bolt caused a fire which destroyed some rebuilt sections.

At the eastern end of the Hofgarten stands the Bayerische Staatskanzlei or Bavarian State Chancellery.

Another beautiful morning in Dresden.

The evening before I took the Kraichgau photo I photographed this scene in Heidelberg. Beautiful view as usual. I waited just for the lights to go on to snap the last shot.

In total this photo is combined out of 5 exposures I took while my camera was mounted on the tripod. This was needed to get good detail and even light in the whole scene.

Wanna see how I put those exposures together, then watch my exposure blending timelapse, which I recorded for this shot.

Mit dem "Irix 11mm f/4" habe ich es endlich geschafft das Hamburger Rathaus frontal aufs Bild zu bekommen.
