After five posts for Thursday, let me make a quick one with two of today’s images.
It’s bicycles again. I took both images (and a third that didn’t come out as well) on my way to the Underground.
The Song of the Day is “The Lazy Sunbathers” from Morrissey’s 1994 album “Vauxhall and I”. Hear it on YouTube.
Here’s one last image taken late Thursday afternoon. I hope you agree that it’s worth its own post 
The Song of the Day is “Till The End Of The Day” by The Kinks. I have no idea from which original album it is. It probably does not matter, at least as download you’ll only be able to get it as part of various collections. Hear it on YouTube.
Here’s the fourth post for Thursday, and this is a continuation of my long-neglected “Electric Ladyland” series.
All these images were taken on the same walk along river Danube. I don’t know why, I really like those bizarre electric installations.
Maybe it’s because they all look hand-made, just like a sculptor had tried to produce as many variations from the the same materials as possible.
And somehow they remind me of my childhood, of a time when those things actually WERE hand-made.
The Song of the Day is of course “(Have You Ever Been To) Electric Ladyland” by jimi Hendrix. For some odd reason the original album does not seem to be available at the moment, thus I have linked to a collection.
Hear the album version on YouTube.
Here’s the next part of my Thursday images.
This time it’s about a walk down to the water. This blossom is a good example for the tremendous amount of highlight recovery that you get from the OM-D.
The image with the strong light reflexes in the water was pretty hard to process. It took me two days and four attempts until I had it where it is now, and still I am not satisfied. Anyway, that’s as far as I go, maybe I should have dropped it altogether 
I didn’t really expect anything from that walk. I just wanted to go out and snap some pictures. But that’s how it is, some days are richer than others.
The (third) Song of the Day is “Down By The Water” from P. J. Harvey’s 1995 album “To Bring You My Love”. I already had it in “1491 – Down By The Water“. Hear it on YouTube.
This is another image for Thursday. I had a pretty diverse mix of images and don’t want to lump them all together. Thus instead of one post you get five
The Song of the Day is “The Other Side” from the 2002 David Gray album “A New Day At Midnight”. Hear it on YouTube.
This is not a great image and it’s not meant to be. Quality-wise it is about as good as I would have got from the Nikon D200, using for instance the Tamron 17-50/2.8 VC wide open at ISO 1600. Only this is the OM-D, f8 at 1/10 s and ISO 12800.
I wouldn’t have needed to go that high, I just wanted to see what I get at such a high sensitivity (or rather amplification). Only Lightroom was used. Taking it into Photoshop and blending layers with different strengths of noise reduction applied, I could probably have gotten an even better result. No need though, in practice I would rarely go that high. It’s nice to know that I can though.
The Song of the Day is “Our Darkness” from the 2007 Richard Hawley album “Lady’s Bridge”. Hear it on YouTube.
OK, I admit, at first, when I took the image, I didn’t see him. In fact I didn’t even see him while processing the image, but when I finally did, I had to smile.
The Song of the Day is “Supermann” from Marius Müller-Westernhagen’s 1998 album “Radio Maria”. For the majority of you who don’t understand German, I have linked the song title to an automatic translation of the original lyrics.
The original video is kind of a “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” story. See it on YouTube.
Yesterday’s “Damage” image would have been perfect for B&W as well, but somehow I didn’t think of it. Today I did
Just a shrub growing in front of our office, but why never look, why always pass it by?
The Song of the Day is “Shades Of Grey” from the 1998 Billy Joel album “River Of Dreams”. Hear it on YouTube.
Not only did the thunderstorm yesterday cool Carinthia down substantially, it also made a lot of damage in parts of the country. Here’s some minor one.
The Song of the Day is “Weather The Storm” from the 1973 Incredible String Band album “No Ruinous Feud”- Hear it on YouTube.
Yesterday evening we’ve got heavy thunderstorms, rain, and temperatures dropped by something between 10 and 15 degrees. No swimming today. Instead I spent most of the day converting the months February through April from iMatch to Lightroom. Here are some images that I couldn’t help but processing
Well, actually it’s not really converting what’s that much work, that’s just a matter of importing files into Lightroom. The problem is, that I have given up on keywording years ago, and that I want to have keywords in Lightroom. Thus I spent those hours keywording the images of four months.
Oh yes, I have a Flickr pro account now. From now on you can also see my images in my photostream, and you can also download original sizes there. Why that? Well, just because Lightroom makes it effortless.
The Song of the Day is “Words Can’t Describe” from Sarah Vaughn’s 1957 album “Swingin’ Easy”. Hear it on YouTube.
