I captured this tree in midst of a green field the last time, we were in Tuscany. See the photo in a first comment.

What a change!

We hunted for some nice light shining on that tree and after 5 cappucini, the sun came out for a short glimpse...

Please press 'L' - it will look unsharp else, because of the resizing applied by flickr.

Smoo Cave is a large combined sea cave and freshwater cave in Durness in Sutherland, Highland, Scotland.

I didn't flash - the light on the rocks is ambient lighting.

Urban Jungle

Philipp Klinger Photography posted a photo:

This is the largest fig tree to grow in Europe.

Ficus macrophylla, commonly known as the Moreton Bay Fig, is a large evergreen banyan tree of the Moraceae family that is a native of most of the eastern coast of Australia, from the Atherton Tableland (17° S) in the north to the Illawarra (34° S) in New South Wales, and Lord Howe Island. Its common name is derived from Moreton Bay in Queensland, Australia. It is best known for its beautiful buttress roots, which are also known for damaging municipal footpaths.

3D Splash

When i saw the photo, it kind of had an 3D effect because of the unsharp rocks in front... Thus the title

Maid Of The Mist

Philipp Klinger Photography posted a photo:

Really loved the different water colors around, not to mention the rainbow, created by the light of the slowly setting sun.

Info

The Maid of the Mist is a boat tour of Niagara Falls. (The actual boats used are each named Maid of the Mist, followed by a different Roman numeral in each case.) The boat starts off at a calm part of the Niagara River, near the Rainbow Bridge, and takes its passengers past the American and Bridal Veil Falls, then into the dense mist of spray inside the curve of the Horseshoe Falls. The tour is available starting from either the Canadian or U.S. side of the river, returning to the starting point in each case.

All passengers receive a blue Maid of the Mist poncho.

White Tower II

Texture by Skeletal Mess - thanks!

I used a shot from the same walk as for the previous upload, but i processed it 'a bit' more, most noticeably adding a texture.

As i mentioned, i moved recently and this is where i live now... Well, actually not in that palace, but only 5 minutes away from the park.

Technique/Processing

Basically: Getting up early on a sunday morning... ;-)

Of course there was also some processing involved, but the light is real...

I blended the sky and the lower part manually from two different exposures and then processed it using the usual filters.

Info

Bad Homburg vor der Höhe is the district town of the Hochtaunuskreis, Hesse, Germany, on the southern slope of the Taunus, bordering among others Frankfurt am Main and Oberursel. The town's formal name is Bad Homburg vor der Höhe (translated as "Bad Homburg at the foot of the hills (= Taunus)", to distinguish it from other places of the same name), abbreviated as Bad Homburg v. d. Höhe.

Elevation: 130 to 250 m in the town (128 to 683 m in the whole area); Position: 50° 13’ 45” N, 8° 36’ 43” E; Population: 52000.

The town is best known for its medically used mineral waters and spa (hence the prefix Bad, "bath"), and for its casino.

Today, Bad Homburg is again one of the wealthiest towns in Germany, in part thanks to its vicinity near Frankfurt, as many of the directors and employees of the Frankfurt banks live in Bad Homburg. (The Hochtaunuskreis and the Landkreis Starnberg regularly compete for the "title" of the wealthiest district in Germany.)

As of 2004, the town's marketing slogan was: Champagnerluft und Tradition (Champagne air and tradition).

After Darkness Comes Light

Philipp Klinger Photography posted a photo:

Should really be viewed on black :-)

Technique/Processing

Rather complex processing in Photostop, involving manually blending the 5 exposures to a DRI, then enhancing colors, contrast and finally enhancing the light rays and the shadows.

Some of my favorite Nik filters were also used: Tonal Contrast, Darken Center and Glamour Glow

Sunset Road

Have a great weekend my friends!

Technique/Processing

One shot at 6 seconds taken from a bridge railing. Almost no color processing (It's october :=))- Just 'dimmed' the headlights a bit and added some contrast using an S-Curve. No HDR

The American Falls

nobody@flickr.com (Philipp Klinger Photography) — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 07:19:07 -0700

Philipp Klinger Photography posted a photo:

Sorry for my abscence lately, soooo much going on right now :)

technique/processing

No real HDR/DRI as in the last Niagara Falls Night Photo. As the colors were changing pretty fast, there simply wasn't enough time to capture different exposures of the same scene. I did however develop the raw file with different exposure values in ACR and did some manual exposure blending to lighten the shadows and 'defuse' the highlights a bit.

info

The American Falls is one of three waterfalls that together are known as Niagara Falls on the Niagara River along the Canada-U.S. border. Unlike the much larger Horseshoe Falls, which lies almost completely in Canada, the American Falls is completely within the U.S. state of New York.

The falls receive approximately 10% of the flow from Niagara River, with most of the rest going over Horseshoe Falls, from which it is separated by Goat Island. It has a straight line crest width of about 830 feet (250 m). If measured along the jagged lip of the falls, the crest is about 950 feet (290 m) long. The torrent of water passing over the crest of the falls is about 2 feet (0.61 m) deep.

The height of the American Falls ranges between 70 to 110 feet (21–34 m). This measurement is taken from the top of the Falls to top of the rock pile (talus). The height of the Falls from the top of the Falls to the river is 190 feet (58 m).

The falls are viewable from a steep angle on the American side, where it is possible to approach to within several meters of the edge of the falls. One can view the falls from the bank of the river, as well as on Goat Island and Luna Island, which are accessible by a pedestrian bridge that crosses the rapids of the Niagara river upstream from the falls. The falls are viewable head-on from the Canadian side in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

The ledge of the American Falls is shaped in a modified "W" form, caused by numerous rockfalls over the past 150 years which have resulted in the huge mound of rock at its base. The most notable recent rockfall occurred in 1954 with the collapse of Prospect Point to the north.

To survey the rockfall and determine how to prevent the falls from becoming a series of rapids, the US Army Corps of Engineers completely blocked the flow of water over the American Falls from June to November 1969. Results conflict as to whether tourist attendance that season was higher or lower than normal. Attendance increases were likely due to the news that the cataract was dried off; decreases in tourists could be attributed to the fact people thought both cataracts (the American and Horseshoe Falls) were dewatered that year. By December 1969, water was flowing over the American Falls again. In the mid-1970s, it was decided not to make alterations to the rock wall and remove the talus, citing the trend to allow nature to take its course.
