State -  BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG
Country - Germany   Germany
About Subject background: Karlsruhe, botanic garden. A sphinx making holidays. It's after-season, as the tables are deserted. Must be a very cheap last-minute trip for the Sphinx.

PS: Toning to BW, infrared filter, reduced the effect afterwards.

Honest feedback highly appreciated!

Btw: My hard disc with the latest photos got a mechanical crash today... have a hard time at the moment. this is one of the few I could save from my micro drive...

Excellent Thilo... Very well presented sharp image... Love the tones and the contrast...

Maybe the Sphinx wanted to have some quiet moment by herself... :)

Sorry to hear about your hard disk... I always try to have copy of my pictures in two or three disks... :( Hope you can retrieve more of your pictures...

Cheers,

MaLuisa

Great effect! Very good work!
Greetings.

oh sh..., das tut mir so leid, erinnert mich daran das ich dringend mal wieder ein backup auf meine externe Festplatte ziehen muß...

bin nur froh das die Sphinx außer einem langen Leben, dem langen Weg nach Karlsruhe auch diesen Crash überlebt hat ;)

toll in den Kontrasten zwischen hellen und dunklen Metallkonstrukten, starker Himmel (wie immer) die Sphinx ist das Tüpfelchen auf dem I.

Liebe Grüße
Verena

Sorry Thilo to hear about your hard drive, hopefully it's not severe and you would be able to restore your work! Very beautifull and funny image, I like the IR tones a lot!


Patrick Jacobson   {K:29151} 10/23/2004
Great find! I like the perspective here and the odd environment. Great composition! =) Very good bw tones and the light is great!

Cheers

Missed the part about your harddrive.. Thats terrible.. You can repair it though.. well not you but you send it to a lab. We have such labs here in Sweden so they should be everywhere... They open up the disc and transfers the data to a new media.. dont know how it works.. but it does!

I worked as a Apple computer consult.. we sent away 2 discs i think that crashed.. both got back their data. It was costly though i think. Worth to check out though!

Cheers

Congrats

Hi Patrick,

thanks a lot for the hint. My HDD is already on it's way to such a lab as it's my external drive where I work on (and had some pictures as well). will cost about 3.000 bucks (ARGH). but it's well worth the cost.

take care my friend,
Thilo


Patrick Jacobson   {K:29151} 10/23/2004
Aye.. its alot of money! You better get yourself a backup hd or another media to store the pictures on. I will buy a external hd to keep as back up hd infact.. Dont want that to happend to me. Ive done a few backups but it isnt enough as you dont have time to burn new cds/dvds every day or so.

Take care and i hope you get back the data again!

Cheers

Dear Arwa,

chances are high that I can save at least most my digital pictures...

thx for the very kind words, my friend.

Dear MaLuisa,

I will definitely go for a new security system ;-)

Hi Verena,

also nach diesem crash werde ich alles 10x sichern, und zwar jeden tag ;-) ich hoffe immer noch, dass das festplattenlabor soviel wie möglich retten kann.

die sphinx hat wirklich einen guten lauf ;-)

danke fürs feedback,
Thilo

Excellent shot Thilo,I like very much the filter effect and composition
Many thanks for comenting "Cloudy night"
Best regards


Carlheinz Bayer   {K:14220} 10/24/2004
To be honest, a smaller DOF would work better for me. I know that's against the physic of that lens, but if you go closer and focus on the beast with a bigger apeture you should be able to handle that.

Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 10/24/2004
Dear Zeev,

thanks a lot for the feedback. appreciate that.
just came home from a long weekend, will check your photos again soon =)
take care,
Thilo


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 10/24/2004
Hi bro,

I made several pictures here, one that exactly fits your idea. I rejected the idea of uploading it as it places the sphinx out of the scary environment... will probably come back to that image later. different one =)
take care,
t-bro

Hi Thilo,cleverer Titel und Foto..mir gefällt der infrarot Effekt(ich bekomme vielleicht auch einen Infrarot Filter,habe aber keinen blassen Schimmer
davon).Ich war ein paar Tage weg...was ist denn passiert?
Liebe Grüsse,Ursula


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 10/28/2004
Hi Ursula,

das ganze ist übrigens reines PS. IR-Objektiv-filter ist mein nächstes projekt ;-)

Danke fürs Feedback,
Thilo
