Darkhouse

 
I do really like the lighthouses. This lighthouse (Cape Byron Lighthouse, Australia) looks amazing with its bright white colour against the deep blue sky, but I tried something different here. I hope it works.

Love will tear us apart

 
If you have to say good-bye to your friends and you would like to tell them how much you will miss them, tell it with a photo what they can hang onto their wall at home. This is it, nothing more.

The question is always the same

 
This pure little fellow was free as a bird a few thousand years ago, but in one morning he heard some noise and turned off his usual jumping track. Jumped, jumped when suddenly fell into a dark hole. `It’s not good` he thought. It was a dark and scary place. He looked up and saw the hole he’d fallen down. Jumped up, jumped up a bit higher and again and again. `Oh, no! It’s too high` he said sadly. `Why me, I was always a good wallaby?` shouted loudly.

Wondering about geotagging photos

I’ve just started to add geotag to my photos and I’m a bit confused about the best practice. Do I place the photo to the spot where I took it from or what I can see in it? Okay, sometimes it is the same, but sometimes it isn’t.

What do you recommend? Do you geotag your photos? What version do you prefer?

Free as a bird

 
After being jailed for one day in the Adelaide Gaol and another one in the Old Melbourne Gaol (may I call it ‘jail session’?), what could be better than to be free. Free as a bird.

Ned Kelly

Let’s back to the Old Melbourne Gaol where Australia’s most controversial character, Ned Kelly was hang in 1880.

When I saw Ned Kelly’s death mask in a glass display cabinet lighted from all directions, I immediately took a photo about it, but I knew this is not the way how I would like to see it. I could imagine the mask in a dark room with lighted and shadowed parts. The photo needs lots of post processes to achieve my vision.

I’m not so good in hard photo processing, so it took more than an hour for me to get this result. First, I cropped the image and converted it into black & white. After that I did cut the head out, added 100% darkness to its surroundings, made the shadowed parts darker on the mask and added more contrast and sharpness.
