Interesting thought Bobbie. Two variations of Christmas Solitude….
Lovely boys !
A great shot, congratulations !
Lovely, especially the first one.
Miss your image Helga. If you have problems with sharing read this:
The image is as touching as the beautiful story behind it. Seems that a greater gift could not have been given 🙂
A fine interview, interesting and enlightening. Good to get insight into the background of a photographer who´s contribution to LS is so important, both to me and obviously a lot of other people.
No young children at my Christmas table this year – they were missed. However my sons cockatiel made up for it – by happily lending a beak to the wrapping and unwrapping.
Lovely photos, especially the B&W.
Thank you for your kind comments Leanne, Tersha and Tom. Right now I am on a vacation in Berlin. The photo was taken in a traditional and old (probably) German restaurant off Kurfürstendam. The walls are adorned with old photos of all the Mayors of Berlin until the east-west division in 1948. The Mayors are “The Men of Berlin”, one of whom was in fact a woman (Louise Schroeder 1948). There were four Mayors in the period 1945 – 48, which speaks volumes of the difficult situation in the post war Berlin.
Our table was located along the wall opposite of the Mayors with a view of the single gentleman dining in front.
The goulash soup tasted exceptionally well after a long cold day of shopping on the Kurfürstendam. End of story.A great shot, beautifully processed.
The gift was obviously a success, they seem to have fun playing with it. And you, possibly guilty of inflicting on him a lifelong passion……
A kitch from the situation under my tree right now. Was experimenting with creating velvety look by partly occluding the lens with a sheet of bubble plastic with a central hole in it. Wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Hi
I’m Elin, a happy amateur through 50 or so years, nearly bankrupting my family during the first years by shooting all and everything with a Kodak – until I gained access to darkroom facilities at school. Shot later with wonderful Olympus and Pentax film cameras until i bought my first digital Canon EOS 350 in early 2000. I once was possessed by the misconception that gear = quality so I worked my way through EOS 450 and 600 until I bought a 6D and have now acquired a good variety of lenses.
Have used Lightroom for a couple of years and am beginning the wander into the Photoshop jungle, which sometimes makes me long for the film, the darkroom and experimenting with camera obscura and other old techniques….the possibilities are endless – art is great – life is short, especially if one has a time consuming job on the side. There is so much to learn and I feel that I am just beginning….
I found this site by coincidence, don´t remember how, and to me it is a treasure: The tutorials (short, to the point, inspiring and informative), the forums (friendly and relaxed) and most importantly the Shark Tank. I´d like to thank Rob for this great site as well as the contributors to the Shark Tank for their kind and constructive criticism.Superb image, great work. Well deserved. Congrats !
Lovely image. Gives the feeling of fresh cold air in the lungs and well prepared skis under your feet….
Beautiful colours and texture.
Impressive. Wind blowing only in one direction ?
Trees in Iceland now coated with ice crystals, – Christmas on the doorsteps.
