Being in Ehrenfeld
Met colleague WARTH in Cologne. He has seen (and photographed) every corner in Cologne. Not every, I thought and went out to find a different place. Had to walk through dumps and mud, had to climb fences...but here we go :-))
This photo is especially for warth and here how it was done: Canon 5D Mark 2, five shots in raw, pre-work in Lightroom, before sent to photomatix programme for HDR, finally Nik Efex Pro b/w programme as photoshop cs 5 plug-in...and ready :-)
(Im not listing the screaming railway worker, the dog who tried to bite me and the drunkard who asked for 1 euro for which he would put his head on the rail :-))
Best wishes
Dirk

Du hast den wahrscheinlich exklusivsten Ort in Köln gefunden, der einer so sorgfältigen Bearbeitung der Belichtungen würdig ist ...GENIAL!

Na da ist jede Menge Arbeit, Zeit und Geld reingegangen. Aber es hat sich gelohnt. Sieht herrlich utopisch and spacy aus!LG Putty

A sad sight, but one of many all over the world - reality behind the "pretty" sights .... and one should see it.Your image is excellent - monochrome fits well!!
