Someone once said that the real wage of the photographer comes from within - from the knowledge that they have just added something very special. This feeling of satisfaction of a very special shot. (Now you think but please not again to a * so * dirty stuff!)

Special photos but need appropriate opportunities. Yesterday it was such, we were invited to a party that had the edge way to do it with dirty stuff, although at a high level, but also with the pleasure of physical fitness by (* dirty stuff *!) The wings of the dancing leg the beat of the music. It was dimly lit (* dirty stuff! *), It was hot (* S * ... you know!), And it was really well blended music. The illumination in addition to artificial fog was really after something, and there were a number of good photo opportunities.

And then this:

Stand on it small plate, the ball head, time delay 1/8 seconds, and gradually ramped up the ISO to 1600. A few photos, not all bad, until this opportunity arose. I pulled the trigger, after I had looked at some time the light rotation, at the very moment that I thought was entirely appropriate. Boom Boom, a slight acceleration frequency (which had nothing to do with * dirty stuff *), then I gave the camera to the hostess to see the picture. (No idea why I have not even seen it, maybe I was concerned, it was not turned out the way I had hoped. But no, I do not think that was the reason I felt that I shot a special was successful.)

She looked at the picture on the screen in silence, then a faint "Very cool!" Rather breathed than spoken. Then I looked at the monitor - it was perfect!

From the RAW image I developed along with the color version and a monochrome, that is so:

Both have their place, both ended up at Flickr. And of course I am happy about awards and group invitations and favorite choice, but the real satisfaction is intrinsic. An incredible bargain.

Yes, I know that no one writes H crane. Back in the 1870s, they wrote it abeer however, perhaps inspired by the crane that just emptied the boat ... A Krahn.

I grew up in a darkroom. At least photographically.

The old man had to jump a Canon A-1 (as always occurs to me what an old bag, I am even now: the A-1 fell on my 1980 in the hands). In school I had an art teacher who was incredibly well the basics and teach tricks of photography. With him we were sitting in the photo lab, wrapped Ilford from FP-4 and Agfa Pan 400 film from a big roll and printed the photo cans themselves exposed film did not go to the lab: Prepare developers await the development time and always set to the rhythm tip, then fixer pure, dry, finally - the dark room full program, including the different prints on paper with different gradations.

The love of black and white photography has continued until today. For some time I photograph and digitally in monochrome. Thanks to the RAW mode, I can get the color version still, if I feel like it.

Why I like SW Sun? Now draw these pictures to look at the essential, to graphical elements on contrasts. The content is dominated, not a surfeit of colors. The World in Monochrome is not just a discolored - it opens up new possibilities, even for images that would otherwise not be considered because they were too colorful or taken in bad light. Color distractions are of no consequence. Monochrome images are a reduction to the statement on lines, geometric shapes and structures.

Sometimes sepia tones as well do a picture. Please take your time on an experiment! A really good picture looks in Black and White!

Here is a picture that has emerged on the B5 for Lauenburg / Elbe. The monochrome color variant

and the sepia-tinted:
