slow day here ...

Wow...
hiding in the back of a refrigerator...
waiting for someone to open the door...

That defines boring :salute:

Nah, that's not being bored ...

Hmmm - nice shot, everything we drink seems to be out of bottles, and I can detect objections from the neighbours.

Having a leasurely sauna with a glass of wine and some pellegrino seems to hit the lazyness ticket

Thank you for your kind words, Ben and Steen :)

Steen, your can shot is very cool. Would be interesting to see it printed.

Go ahead, Jorgen, and let us know what the print looks like (I have sent you the RAW file).

I actually may have it printed big myself, though I'm not quite sure I'll be allowed to hang it on any of the walls here ... :)

Thanks, Steen. I'm buying a new printer next week, and will check it out on that one.

Lovely Mediterranean slowness, Steen. The pin thing is more... sharp :)

The flat beer and soda cans... I bought a decent printer a few months ago, but haven't been using it properly until now. I will print that photo large within a week or two. Just need to buy some larger format paper.

"Something kind of existential about it"


Thanks a lot, Bob :thumbup:

I think that's what slow days are about :)

Yes, it is a single exposure, though I actually did three or four slightly different EVs and just picked the best one that kept the darkness of the shadows while still showing at least some details and textures.

Then I added a bit of brightness to the very darkest areas on the tree trunk by using the so-called Color Control Points in Capture NX.

I like trying to capture the darkness e.g. in deep shadows or the dull light at dusk (on a slow day) or the darkness at night etc.
