Hello,

I want to show some photos about Hamburg (Germany) and some others.
The site is in german, but I think, that doesn't matter, because
photos are language-independant
So, take a look at http://fotos.cconin.de

Best regards
Ulrich

Ulrich,

Great photos! Your eye for composition makes me want to visit Germany!

Personal favorites are in Friedhof Ohlsdorf. The monument of the winged lady
is excellent. The Schott headstone - lighting, colors, and composition are
great. My personal taste would run to a little more focus - but it is still
a photo that stirs emotion.

What is up witht he skull and cross bones? Not something I'd want on my
headstone!?

You're certainly correct.. Language doesn't matter.. Great shots, I enjoyed
them.

I used the Translate feature of http://www.altavista.com to read it.
Very nice photos, I like the closeups and plants best!

Perhaps a little adaptive un-sharp mask pre and post size reduction
would help.

I tend to slightly over sharpen my webified photos, on a lot of
"typical web users" PC's the monitors are never very good, so a photo
that is way oversharp on my laptop (slight halo'ing) look slightly
more "fuzzy" and the halo's disapear on most peoples setups.

Also a lot of non-pros have the brightness turned well up (I know from
experience in IT) so blacks are often grey :-/

Also the type of re-sampling also has an impact on the quality,
photoshop has 3 different types, I test all prior to choosing one,
then add just a little more sharpening.

Obviously a lot of people confident enough to critisise usualy have
good setups, sometimes even profiled, those people will notice the
over sharpness on my site.



To the original poster, I like the photos, very nice.

It's gorgeous, isn't it? I must visit my local cemetary & see if we have
anything that can compare.

Maybe the deceased was a Heavy Metal fan?

Yes, the graveyard (? Friedhof) is one of my favourite series too.
It was a cold day in february, only some persons were there and the
light was very good.

You mean "totenkopf1a.htm"? That's a very old one from the 16. century.

Thanks. I like old machines and engines. Some are about
80 to 100 years old and they work and work ...
