Photos made during a visit in the botanic garden of the Ruhr University.

Quite frequently we have a fresh bouquet of flowers in the kitchen at the office.

Today was my second appointment for the current root canal treatment. It is my second and I get used to it. I guess, the next one I will do on my own. I had been warned to expect some pain after todays treatment caused by the jawbone which might be affected by the infection, but fortunately no problems so far.

So in the evening on my way home from work I was fine to stop by the Schloßpark in Bochum Weitmar and make some photographs of the Kubus in the dark.

This afternoon I was in Hattingen again and made a stop at the LWL-Industriemuseum Henrichshütte Hattingen.

Another photograph of the Ruhrwehr in Hattingen with a closer perspective.

Gebläsehalle

Furnace in the evening.

The first photograph was made on the so called Dahlhauser Schwimmbrücke (=pontoon bridge). Years ago the bridge was open for cars but at the moment there are only pedestrian and cyclist, that means the bridge does not move and it is safe for taking long exposure images.

Just a fews hundred meter from the Matthäus Church in Weitmar is the catholic St. Franziskus with its own cemetery.

On my way home I made a stop at Bochum Weitmar. Usually I will stop there to buy the groceries I need. But today I made some photographs of the Matthäus Kirche.

Exzenterhaus

Theater of Bochum. No, not for the movies…

At the moment I am quite into long exposure photography. Actually it is fun to use a 16 stop neutral density filter and have exposure times of more then two minutes in bright daylight. It feels like a different type of photography with slightly different rules.

Today I disabled the noise reduction for long exposure on the X-E2. And being honest I cannot see too much of a difference, apart from the much faster processing time, since the additional exposure for noise reduction is skipped.

Snow! Right on the first working day this year. Yesterday evening I asked myself if there might be another winter without snow for this year. Fortunately I was proven wrong this morning;)
Although I had some concerns on the public transport which usually tends to go mad with the first snowflakes, all went smooth and I arrived quite early in the office.

Die Blume ist für dieses Jahr wohl das letzte Foto aus dem Botanische Garten. Und auch dieses ist natürlich schon aus dem Archiv. Ursprünglich an einem sonnigen Vormittag im September aufgenommen, hat es bisher noch nicht den Weg ins Blog geschafft. Aber jetzt…

Auch wenn der Hintergrund schon bei der unbearbeiteten Version schon relativ dunkel, musste ich mit Photoshop ein wenig nachhelfen damit er schwarz wird.

Und noch ein Foto, das an den Ruhrwiesen zwischen Blankenstein und Bochum entstanden ist.

Ist halt auch ein netter Ort, besonders am frühen Morgen oder am Abend im Herbst.
