The village of Bullay on the shores of the Moselle river.

Here's a photo from Mosel Valley. The famouse Mosel bend. It took me nearly an hour to take this photo. First a long exposure during beginning of twilight which you see in the sky. Then exposures for the light traces left by the cars. Then as it got brighter photos for the town and the landscape with the warm glow on the land. And finally as the ship came in a high iso shot to get a sharp exposure of the ship. Then blending in PS followed by my usual postprocessing -> Start2Finish Post Processing Tutorial

PS: Thanks to all who bought my processing tutorial till now. I already have ideas for an add on :-)

For Comparison, the US Horseshoe bend, which is a bit more spectacular :-) www.flickr.com/photos/mibreit/3575557537

Thanks for all your great comments. At first I did not mean to make this public as it was really just an experiment in changing sky and atmosphere. The original was taken on a sunny day with blue skies (shown in comment section below). I didn't think it was that good really, but your nice comments changed my mind. So I am making it public again. Thanks to all my great FLICKR friends for all your support and amazing and inspiring photography. Have a Great Holiday Season and a Fantastic 2018!!

Kleinstadt direkt an der Mosel mit einer traumhaften Innenstadt! Man beachte den größten Adventskalender der Region in den Fenstern des Apothekengebäudes. Täglich wird ein Fensterladen geöffnet. 2018.12 Mosel-137
