high pass

This is my favourite shot from the past few weeks. I took it handheld at 1/3 of a second with deliberate overexposure. I love how details of the station are reflected in the windows of the passing ICE train, and how the train door breaks up the lines. By the way, it’s NOT colour key. I haven’t removed any colours.

A square photograph of an ICE train passing by, resulting in a blurred image. The entire picture is very bright with very little detail. The top third is completely white. In the lower third, a floor with square tiles is faintly visible. In between is the train, of which only the typical red stripe of these trains and the black window frames as horizontal lines, as well as a very blurred door, can be made out. Black masts and signals from the station are reflected in the windows.

A colour photograph showing two white drain vents on the white gable end of a wall. The pipework runs vertically through the frame with distinct line of rust against the backdrop of ageing white paint on the wall and a single tendril of what looks like fern emerging from one vent at the top of the frame.

A close up vertical photograph of a patch of yellow lichen on a boulder, surrounded by light grey lichen. Both lichen are cracked and tessellated with black lines between the individual pieces, like a puzzle The two different lichen have distinct textures, with the yellow in the center being quite smooth and bulging on the surface, and the grey one more crater like in its appearance.

Pink & Green

A dense layering of green foliage with bright pink flower petals. The primary greenery consists of small, rounded, heart-shaped leaves. A few longer, blade-like leaves and smaller serrated sprigs are also interspersed. Scattered across the ground are numerous bright magenta-pink petals, likely from a nearby flowering tree or shrub like a Camellia or Azalea. Some petals are fresh and saturated, while others show slight browning or wilting at the edges.

Throwback to 1970s/1980s Germany, a quiet town and popular holiday destination before the Berlin Wall fell! This old hotel was frozen in time and rotting from decades of abandonment. Only photos remain; now it is demolished.

pollen on a daisy

This was a very red daisy, on a very green background. This is also just one of the multiple versions that came up. I kept the red highlights at the tips of the petals and turned their lines into cold blue. I am sorry nature. I did it for art. (I did it because I like to play with colours like a three year old). Edit: gah, I forgot the pollen. The flower is sprinkled with lots of this mad stuff.

#FotoVorschlag 'Technik'

This marvel of technology hangs in the GDR Museum in the Harz Mountains – an analogue telephone. One that had to be ordered years in advance. It probably hung in a police station or a Stasi office.

In principle, the museum in the town of Thale is worth a visit, even if you didn't spend your childhood in this country. As someone who did, I can say that what is on display there was really our everyday life.

Hotel Sakartvelo. One of many abandoned resort buildings scattered across the spa town of Tskaltubo in western Georgia. Once part of a busy Soviet-era holiday industry, the hotel is now an empty shell of concrete and broken stairwells.

To capture this shot, I was perched (uneasily) on a matching staircase on the other side of this lobby. Needless to say, I was relieved to step back onto solid ground again!
