Happy easter, everyone!

I know I’m a bit late – but hey, it’s still easter! :-)

This shot was taken on the autobahn today, on the way to Emil’s grandparents. I saw the misty hills from afar and got the right lens mounted just in time to get one shot. As you see, I had to crop it. Processed in Lightroom 3 beta and again played with merging a color + b&w version.

Since this square version is rather small and low-res, I also uploaded a larger (700 px) version that you can view by clicking on the image.

This is a shot I’ve wanted to take for quite some time now, but didn’t find the right opportunity. Yesterday I was working late, and the main hall of the humanities was dark and empty – perfect! :-)

At first I couldn’t decide whether I should develop this in color or in black and white, so I did both. Then I remembered a hint from Amy Medina, who told me she was working with black and white adjustment layers in Photoshop. Since I don’t have Photoshop, I imported both the color and b&w versions into Paint.NET and merged them – I think I quite like the look so far!
