Misty Sunrise - Photo editing with ACDC

avatar

I think, most of you know what kind of photography I like most ... tell me,

what's better than being outdoors, listening and watching the world waking up?

Thank you Joan @joanstewart for giving me these words :)

Misty Sunrise

Misty Sunrise
Photo editing with ACDC

Today I have done something that I haven't done in quite a while: editing photos with ACDC in my ears - these photos have been waiting to be edited since September 2020, when I took them during a morning walk at the reservoir. Thunderstruck helped a lot to finally like them enough to open them in Photoshop :)

View over the reservoir towards north
View over the reservoir towards north

The two photos above show the view across the reservoir towards north (yes, they are two different photos ;). The lake was completely clear and the autumnal mist covered the farm fields between the trees on the northern shore of the lake and the hills behind.

Sunrise at the Drau Reservoir

Later I switched to Rammstein because I need to prepare myself for the new work week. This week is going to be very "interesting", to say it nicely ... wished it was already over ;)

At the end of my morning walk at the reservoir, I have found this small flower which was full of little dew drops and looked beautiful like a gem, but I have no idea what kind of flower this is ... I didn't even look, to be honest ;)

Flower full of Dew Drops

I would like to end today's post with the photo of this little flower and I hope that you enjoyed my pictures somewhat again. If not, I can still blame ACDC :) lol


Information

All photos were taken with the Canon EOS R and one of these lenses: Canon RF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM, Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS II USM, Canon EF 16-35mm 1:4 L IS USM, Canon EF 50mm 1:1.8 L STM, SIGMA 105mm 1:2,8 DG MACRO HSM, SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM C.
If you are interested in the image data, I leave all EXIF and IPTC information stored in the pictures.


I hope you are all doing well and you take care for yourself and for the ones you love ... stay safe and stay healthy.

Ah, the Pink flower is easy to ID Hannes, it is a (Pinkeous dewdropideus) 🤣
Great to work with music in one's ears but at times it can bring back so many memories that makes one think that one is young again.
The problem is that when I get up from the chair, everything creaks and groans and my feeling of youth disappears like mist before the rising sun 😎

Some great sunrise photos here mate!

Blessings!

I have googled that name and Google has found nothing - Google finds always at least something, but there was no result for this flower name 🤣 LOL

When I sit at the computer I have to stretch my neck every now and then - you should hear the bones in my neck spine crunching 😁

Thank you so much Zac, I think I will work more often with music in my ears from now on ... also in the office 😉
Wish you a nice evening and a wonderful week ahead, my friend 🔆

Well, I have to admit that my Latin has become a bit rusty just like my toenails my friend.
So, I must have done a few misspellings every here and there 😜

Hahaha, at times I have to feel around to discover if I still have a neck 🤣
It is so good to go through life with music, as it is a great stress reliever.
It also keeps one in a melodious mood, but please don't start singing aloud with the tunes in the office, as I think that they might send for an ambulance 🤣

May your "interesting" week also work out in your favour Hannes.

Cheers and thanks!

Good morning Zac,

since I have never learned Latin I can't tell if something's right or wrong ... I only know "ora et labora"and "in vino veritas" 🤣

Till a couple of minutes ago I didn't even have the time to take the player out of my bag, but I think I'll do it now, because it's quiet in the office at the moment, and I need something loud to be able to concentrate on my work 😎 So, if my boss comes in he might as well go again, because I certainly won't hear him 🤣🤣🤣 and I won't sing, because you might be right with the ambulance ... ;)

So, I can tell you, my week is quite interesting ... it's going to be full of work and I hope to find a few minutes in between every day, just like now 😊

PS: I don't have the time to proofread my replies, so if I write stupid things, please ignore it 😎

Good morning Hannes,

What I know about Latin is dangerous and your Latin effort sounds like "You shall work" and "You shall drink" 😜

I hope that you had a great rocking time in the office listening to the music and also glad that you didn't start singing a sad love song out loud 🤣

Quite interesting sounds like a lot of work, so let's see how it goes and I hope that the new helper will catch on quickly.
Don't worry about mistakes my friend at times when I glance at my replies I can only laugh at myself.

Greetings and I will be back as have to go to a meeting at 10am.

Cheers and thanks!

Good afternoon Zac,

you're reading very well between the lines 😂

I didn't have a chance to put my earphones in :|

Yep, I have got a lot to do anyway, and now I am a teacher and a babysitter too, because before I told our workers dierctly what to do and now I can only hope that she tell them what I tell her and that I get the correct feedback ... 🤔 ... I have been on the phone all morning long.

But I could start a little post for tonight while I had to wait for answers ;)
I'm glad that I could edit quite some photos while I was listening to ACDC on Sunday, so I only need to find the right words 😉

Have a good meeting and great day, my friend 🔆

Good morning Hannes,

Time to answer here then we are out again, but will complete upon return.
You should do very well as a teacher and a baby sitter, as you have a double experience in those things and yeah one cannot do this with ear phones in, else you cannot hear the new baby crying 🤣

Just make sure that when you tell here that it's an apple, she doesn't go and tell the workers that it's a pear 🤣

I have seen the notice of your post "Alpenglow" here, but I don't like to pop there, post a silly quick reply, vote and then pop out again.
So when I get back I will read it properly and then do the honours.

Have a nice teaching day my friend 😜

Cheers and thanks!

Good day Zac,

I think my earphones will stay in my ears this afternoon and I don't want to hear any small or big baby cry 🤣
This morning has told me once again that some people will never learn - I mean her and so many others too and there's nothing more to tell about this except that it sucks even more than the little virus.

A quick silly reply makes fun and is better than no reply, as I am mostly too lazy to reply these days 😎

Hope you have a nice afternoon my friend 😊

Thank you for the quick silly reply.

I am greeting you with a real laugh this afternoon Hannes,

Hilarious to see the image of you walking around in the office, glass eyed like a zombie and screaming like a baby. Funny jacket stuff indeed and the government will spend billions to re-design all of their systems to prevent the "Piber virus" from happening to all of their otther workers.

20 new people will be employed to do your job and when you are released in a sane condition, you will have to train them all.
Soon there will be 21 zombie people walking around screaming like babies 🤣

Just a longer silly answer 🤣

Cheers and thanks!

A while ago I have had a little foam rubber thing glued to a wall in my office because from time I needed to bang my head against it, and when I say from time to time I mean 2 or 3 times a day 🙆‍♂️

Good morning Hannes,

And now you made me laugh, 21 crying zombies walking around and the one is banging his head against the wall, what a picture.

So one day the very big boss walks in and finds you banging your head against the wall.
"What are you doing"? he asked. "Oh Sir, I am trying to straighten the wall out here because it looks a bit uneven" 🤣🤣🤣

Cheers and thank you for the gifts!

Thank you so much for your nice compliments, @long888 😀

You're doing it the right way - there shouldn't be any editing needed, but I'm shooting in RAW, so I have to edit the RAW images and export the JPEG files. Of course, I enhance the colors and do some other editing if necessary. FYI I use Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop to edit.

Beautiful sunrise over the lake. Amazing calm waters and beautiful scenery.

Since 6 in the morning I'm in the office and only now I have a few minutes to do something else - interesting, isn't it? But easier times will come back when a few projects are finished, and the time runs so much faster that way, so I see it positive :)))

Some good hard rock music to get us ticking over enjoying they slightest change in a capture. Must have brought music to your heart visiting places last seen in Spring up North, longing for the warmer months I can hear it echo down here....

Well, I didn't want to risk a downvote because I used the words you said to me a few hours before 😉 and they have been very inspiring, so I just had to use them ... thanks again 🤗

I love listening to Rammstein - the sound is great, the texts are mostly sh*t, but sometimes funny and you don't have to take them too serious. "Sonne" is also great, thanks, but because I don't like to be in small tunnels or mines under the ground I can't be one of the dwarfs - and I'm a few inches to tall 😂

Grovelling around tunnels underground most of us don't enjoy, much like going to work on a brilliant day when we should be outdoors, but then you provoked the song into my head so now you have to listen to it.

Work ethics have changed...

... that's true, but not really on my side. It's more the selfishness, the not planning enough and the careless behaviour of the others that makes my work life hard and joyless.

Yes, family is the most important thing that keeps me still thinking positive 😃 even if my kids would tell me about their problems 😉 but at the moment both are happy and a little bit in love 😻

After working for years, travel, change happening more demands placed on one, you do entertain thoughts about time of being able to do as you wish.

Family time always important, listening closely for change in children. They too are facing things we never considered being obstacles, glad to hear all are happy, that is one thing to enjoy.

Good to remember how we reacted at that age, my poor Mom I always told her I was "experimenting/experiencing life", her reaction was warranted, most times telling me off.
