Ein paar visuelle Eindrücke von zwei Tagen Photokina finden sich bei ipernity weiter unten. Und nein, so leer war die Visual Gallery nicht, sondern tatsächlich ziemlich gut besucht. ;-)

Meine Highlights der Visual Gallery: Raum-Zeit-Bild von Anett Stuth, Sebastian Riemer, Kinderbräute von Stephanie Sinclair, DNA von Stephan Zirwes.

Total Solar Eclipse – Diamond Ring #3

Just in time for the world cup 2010 final, the moon’s shadow moved across the southern hemisphere on 11 Jul 2010. But not for the soccer fans in South Africa, only for those eclipse chasers willing to travel to Easter Island, Cook Islands or Patagonia.

Good weather conditions for the observation sites, some images can found e.g. here on spaceweather.com.

Some comfort for me staying at home: at least the great shot from 2008’s eclipse in China now has a whopping 32.000+ views on flickr! ;-)

Lightroom 3 was released this week and I started using it today. In particular I’m very fond of the new lens and perspective corrections. No more round trips to PTLens necessary.

The image is from a recent excursion to Michael Kramer’s large sculpture “Das Werk II”, a miniature industrial plant created from scrap pieces, installed in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany.
