Many have asked about the Header image above, which I named 'Eerie Genny'. It was originally shot with film [taken on the shore of the Genesee River near the Univ. of Rochester]. During the darkroom development, I flashed a light above the tray. The process, known as 'solarization', produces eerie, ghostlike effects; some have mistaken this image as an infra-red photo. Some 35+ years later, I scanned and digitized the print, and did a little modern day editing, and, voila.

Am Rhein [Sky Watch Friday]




We were winding up a delightful 'Rheinfahrt' when I caught view of the castle silhouetted against the evening sky. It was almost a one good shot or cry about it situation -- I got lucky [thank you telephoto lens!].

Wow! Spectacular sky and castle-silhouette shot, Stan! I really like the purple and coral colors in the sky.

This is a great capture. (I think you forgot to link back to SWF. Easy fix.)

A little journey up the Rhine, jawohl? Ausgezeichnetes Lichtbild!

SKY DITTY

A little birdie told me,
Although I don’t know why,
That if I were to look up,
Way up into the sky,
I’d see some wondrous planets,
The moon and sun and stars –
There before my very eyes
Blazed Jupiter and Mars!
