Photo Set: "Autumn Leaves"

Some months ago, my friend and fellow photographer Annie Bertram recommended to me to visit the  historic automobile cemetery Gürbetal near Bern. The area was originally planned as an open air museum for vintage cars from the 1940s – 1970s, but the owners (who dealt in used car parts) never realized the project. So, the car collection became a car cemetery under birch trees, which was recently used for a national art exhibition. Unfortunately, the area is now closed for environmental reasons, and its future uncertain.

My wife and I visited the cemetery in October, one day before it closed. It was an amazing autumn day, and birch leaves were covering the cars under the trees. I’m happy to present to you a photo sets called “Autumn Leaves” – it contains 34 color and 20 black & white pictures.

After having scanned 2600 35mm negatives, I thought it might be nice to share some of them. Here are 36 pictures from my 2002 trip to the Hawaiian islands. They are decidedly non-decay, mind you.

It has been too long that I haven’t submitted Black & White industrial shots. I miss it. So here are a couple from that Swiss brewery:

New in the Gallery: Heavy Duty HDR

I’ve finally come around to make use of the many bracketted shots I’ve taken with my new EOS 400D, to compose some heavy-duty HDR pics. Most of the recent pictures from the brewery and from India feature HDR processing with strong detail enhancement:

The pictures from the Indian mansion were taken on my recent trip to Calcutta – the purpose of this trip not being photography, but my wedding!
