I'm still in your debt about two photos taken in Göttingens Botanischer Garten:

Today we see some water droplets climbing down a shashlyk skewer just to fall down, just like Newton's apple.

This photo shows five small droplets that have left the tip right after a very large drop (not shown):

In our second picture we see a long-time exposure (10 ms), but taken with a stroboscopic illumination of 100 Hz flashes. The single droplets on the right are the same one, with 10 ms of time between each illumination. In the main stream, you might see similar clusters of droplets falling down.

And finally, a similar picture taken with a 50 Hz flash; due to the longer time, we have lost some contrast. But the small clusters of droplets are more pronounced.

More of such fun shall follow soon …

So today the large Adobe box arrived, and here's my first HDR, based on seven shootings covering ± 3 exposure values:

After nearly two hours of walking but nothing to take a picture of, we got a burning car just hundred metres from our living room window. Sad, but since I'm wearing my “I'm blogging this” shirt, there's nothing to do but to blog it, right?

Our friend at chaosscout was on tour and sent some postcards from and from

Here are views of two animals as taken yesterday in Göttingen's Botanischer Garten:

Yesterday, lizzie and me went to Kassel to get a new heavy photographs taking machinery. Here is one of the first pictures, with more to come.
