This is another detail I found on the colourful wall. A pitty I didn't take a tripod (lazy me) on that afternoon, since this way I could have closed the aperture to f8 in order to get a deeper field and the best performance out of the lens. Instead, I should consider myself lucky, since I managed to get a sharp hand-held picture despite the pretty risky exposure time and focal length!

I was so overwhelmed by the colourful wall that, in the first place, I didn't dare to ban it into one single image. Instead, I first started to look for smaller details: My eyes caught a few of them (still needing lots of practicing here!), so here you go with the first one!

... people don't get tired from this small autumn series (which already got ways longer than expected). But, well, I not only enjoyed taking all those pictures: Indeed, post processing was real fun for each image. And I also must admit that my retouching and editing style has shown quite some evolution within the past weeks and month — For comparison, just have a look at the first pictures from Sicily I've been posting on this blog!

Anyway, today comes another shot from the campus of the former University of Karlsruhe. I start feeling stupid writing "former" again and again — But it somehow still feels weird saying KIT!

Another of the subjects I captured on October 25th 2009 afternoon, which more and more turns out to be my most successfull "photographic Sunday" so far.

The colouring of this image will give you a better impression of the temperatures I had to endure with my bad throat — Anyway, it was worth the effort!

This image was the main purpose of my small photographic afternoon on October 25th: A few days before, I had seen this colorful facade while getting back from the canteen to my office.

I quickly decided to have some shooting the next weekend before those colours would be gone... I stayed about an hour around this place, since there were so many subjects to shoot. In the end, I went home with about 30 exposures — most of them being keepers, yay!

This being said, I must admit I'm not 100% happy with today's image, since those crazy colours seem pretty aggressive and they lack the quietness I've experienced around this place. However, I didn't want to reduce the image's saturation, since the overall impression would have been lost.

By the way: The image I posted two days ago is a detail of the top leaves of the bush on the right side... Just to give you an idea how that image's background really looks like.
