Picture | Morning light down by the river

This one is from last year — I just stumbled upon it and though I’d share it, since I haven’t been posting pictures for quite some time. Early morning light at the shores of the Lahn river, Marburg, Germany.

Emil and Jasmin have been decorating the christmas tree today — our first one ever!

Olympus E-P1 + Lumix 20/1.7 @ f/1.7, 1/80 sec, ISO 800

This reminds me of something — I still can’t get why Olympus, creating a camera as highly customizeable as the E-P1, never thought of integrating an option for setting a custom slowest shutter speed. This picture could’ve easily been taken at 1/20 second with the help of the image stabilizer (which I have always activated).

When I looked out the window this morning, I saw one of the most beautiful sunrises I have ever seen around here. (Not to compare to those I saw in Anatolia back in 2006, of course …)

Of course I wouldn’t have a camera with me when a beautiful autumn scene like this turns up. Luckily I almost always carry a cellphone, so I took this picture with its rather crappy little camera.
I love the contrast of yellow autumn leaves and bright blue sky – this would’ve come out especially nicely on Kodak Elite Chrome, I reckon.

While September and early October both were still warm and sunny, in the second half of October the weather suddenly turned ugly. Chilly, rainy, misty, typical autumn weather of the region. This is what it looks like on any given autumn morning in Marburg.
