My father organized a local Oldtimer Meetup. The weather was good, so many car owners made the way and presented their old beauties.

fifty2:thirty – Blood Moon
On 27th of August 2018, a special event happened: a total lunar eclipse, coincided with Mars being nearly as close as possible to Earth, a concurrence that happens once every 25,000 years.
This is a selection of six exposures of a time series, showing the different states on leaving the shadow.

fifty2:twentyeight – Butterfly or Moth
I still practice macros on all hikes and walks. This one was a fairly good (sharp with correct focus) shot out of the hand.
The question is now about the beauty. A butterfly is associated with nice colours and patterns. A moth is associated with ugliness. What about this cabbage butterfly? Leave your choice in the comments.

fifty2:seventeen – Blossom
This week, I was in the botanical garden for taking pictures. I did this fucus stacking exposure with 27 images. Finally the results are good enough to share it with you. There are still some imperfect areas, but in total the result is okay.
The blossom is as large as a ping-pong ball. Shot was done with help of a Sumikron macro rail. 27 exposures blended into one image.

fifty2:sixteen – Green II
A week full of sunshine! Every day, a sunny day. Perfect for outdoor activities and I did so, from Monday till Sunday. As summer is arriving, all the trees are getting green and that is wonderful.
Photography was not priority number one, but I did a couple of shots after I picked up my camera from sensor cleaning. Now I don’t need to clone/repair the dust spots. I still try to get some good focus stacking results, but surprisingly I need to train more and more.s

This week I got a new toy to play with: macro. With the end of winter, the first colours are appearing in the forest, like these.

fifty2:ten – Waterfall
I had some days off this week and wanted to practice my long exposure skills. This was best possible with some local waterfall.
The water flowing is just beautifully soft, while the bumpy rocks are solid. The effects used in the image, high structure B&W and long exposure, are reflecting the material in the scene.
Already ten full weeks. Cheers!

fifty2:nine – The last burst of winter
I was in Barcelona this week, trying to escape the snow and winter. It didn’t worked out. Despite beeing several hundreds of kilometer south from Bonn, it was cold and it snowed there too. But, after traveling back home, the winter here showed a last brust too. Hopefully the last one.

fifty2:seven – Nutria on the run II
Yes, another time a Nutria is on the run. Similar to week 2, I could freeze some action in the local park between some animals. I will add some more of them in the next week.
