The empire of state

Every time when I promised myself, I should post on a more regular basis it ends up in a much long pause from the blog than before. Here is now another attempt.

This photo was done beginning of the year from the roof top...

Fenway Park in the Sunset

Werner Kunz posted a photo:

During the last conference, there was also a reception on the top of the Prudential Tower in Boston. The view is always breath taking. But this time, it was right at sunset and a game was going on in Fenway Park.
But I didn’t had a real camera with me. So I used what I had: my ipad. ... For the original shot & technique behind this shot, please visit my blog: bit.ly/OvO0QG

My summer turns to an end and the semester starts soon again. I spend the most time of the summer in Germany and it was my european hub for many trips. Me and my family were also in Berlin for a week. It was great to be back in the city, where I associate a lot of nice and great memories. Berlin – in my opinion – ……...

Sometimes you win, but you gain nothing

nobody@flickr.com (Werner Kunz) — Sat, 23 Jun 2012 00:12:13 -0700

Werner Kunz posted a photo:

Todays post is about a very weird story of success and failure of one of my older Fenway photos, that you maybe know (Link to the flickr page). The photo was selected in the photo competition "100 Years Fenway Park" of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and the Boston Red Sox as the Winner of the Landscape category. Yeah!!!
That is what the jury said, (according to the Boston Globe article below)

“When I first looked at it, to me it almost struck me as a painting,” Dick Bresciani, vice president for the Boston Red Sox.
“It has a kind of Wagnerian sweep to it,” Malcolm Rogers, director of the Museum of Fine Arts.

The only problem is, I didn't submit the photo. Another guys downloaded it from my flicker portfolio, submitted it in his own name and called it "Dazzling Sky at Fenway Park". Result: the photo was only the winner for a short moment and disqualified from the competition. Unfortunately, another photo will now be exhibit in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

I have been last week in LaLonde at the Cote d'Azur in France on a nice conference for service research. If you ever wondered, how it looks like. Here is a picture of the castle where we had the sessions. Quite nice, isn't it?

Greetings to the nice people from the conference!!!

I'm not a very educated Artist and can hardly judge if a painting is of good quality or the work of an hopeless amateur. My rule is simple...bit.ly/rZBopn

The photo today is something complete different that I usually post. It is one of my first strobist street shots and was the result of a small photo shot, that was more an experimental session. I was during this time (and still) deeply impressed by the photos of Dustin Diaz (Link) and try to do something similar with my equipment (He is using a 5000$ lense). The photo is ... bit.ly/rYV4Pe

It is sometimes amazing how much you can add to a picture, if you take something away. I really start to appreciate this in black & white photography. Although, I seldomly shot especially for Black & white, I sometimes post-process it like this. One thing I learned is .... bit.ly/oxMePl

Boston in the Mirror (real) Part 1

nobody@flickr.com (Werner Kunz) — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 08:13:05 -0700

Werner Kunz posted a photo:

Some longer time ago I posted a picture of the Boston skyline with the Charles River in front on flickr (www.flickr.com/photos/werkunz/3666599549/in/set-721576153...). I used this picture just for an experiment and try to make my first attempt to produce a mirror effect in photoshop. I was not so happy with my results, but many people on flickr loved it. I thought it was too faked. Moreover, the charles river is never so calm to produce such a reflection... bit.ly/n3NI9C

A place like Paris

Werner Kunz posted a photo:

Sometimes you think you have found a perfect very unique spot to make a photo. You set up your shot. I usually do bracket to have more flexibility later. It looks good on the LCD screen. But when you go home and try to post-process, you can not make anything special out of it. It looks somehow dull and uninspiring.

Exactly this happened with me with this photo. Sometimes you need to fail to get something new.... www.werner-kunz.com/world/2011/10/photo-a-place-like-paris/

Boston Back-Bay from the Long Fellow Bridge

nobody@flickr.com (Werner Kunz) — Sun, 22 May 2011 17:27:39 -0700

Werner Kunz posted a photo:

Today, I post two older Boston pictures from me that I personally really like as photos. But, I was never really happy with my former post-processing. Over the time, I think I became a little bit better in my decision-process for post-processing tools. Therefore, I took the time to revise my work in this two shots.

I hope you like the results as I do.
