Nothing much to say here. This was taken in Heidelberg.

Color management is such a pain! I recently shifted to ProPhoto RGB from Adobe RGB color space and whenever I save files in sRGB the photos come out so flat and dull looking! I don’t know if this is because I’m using a different laptop from my usual one or perhaps I’m doing something wrong. In any case today’s photo looks so much better in the original color space. There is much more detail in the grass at the bottom.

Update (28.06.06): Reading my comment above again makes me wonder how stupid I must have been to write that stuff. Of course, sRGB has a limited gamut and therefore colors will look less saturated in that color space. Either I was drunk when I wrote the above stuff or I must have not been using my brain!

Nothing much to say here except that I got this photo near the Dom here.

For some unknown reason, this year, the rose plants in my garden decided to bloom like crazy. For a few weeks now it has been white and red roses everywhere. Here is one of them

From the same place as the photo from yesterday. The legs are those of a mannequin whose head you can see in the lower right of yesterday’s photo. Coca Cola and Adidas (the blurred text on the shoes in front) are two of the official sponsors of the ongoing FIFA World Cup.

Germany is in the grip of football fever and here I’m without a single photograph to show some of it. That changed today as I went out to shoot some of the madness around the time of the exciting match between Ghana and Czech Republic. What you see in the photo is part of a huge tableaux covering the whole inside of the ceiling of Cologne’s main train station. It is an awesome sight!

Another one from Heidelberg. Sometimes simple photos contain a certain innate charm that catches the eye instantly.

I’ve nothing much to say about this except that I wish I had taken some care to prevent flare.

This is a photo from my trip to Vienna in April of this year. This was shot near the Danube insel (island) in the city.

Something from Heidelberg. This was one of a couple of strange little creatures next to the gate on the oldest bridge over the river Neckar. Perhaps, it is simply a mouse!
