This little featherball of a Robin had a bit of lunchh at the feeder,
but when it spotted me it just hopped down and looked at me curiously!

City Views #306: City Walk 1


This is home street – the lower part of Mülheim’s Eduardstrasse. To the left is the school, to the right the block of houses where we live in. In the last couple of photos, we’ve always gone south and uphill from here, but when I got the new camera in late November I also took a bunch of new photos during one of our grocery shopping trips into the inner city, where I will take the series now. This photo is actually somewhat blurry because I took it while walking across the street with a car already rounding the corner, but I think I managed to save it in processing. The next photos will be much sharper, though!

Moonstack #51


Yesterday’s half moon – I went back to the old method of using the normal resolution because an attempt with the digital zoom was just too blurry. But I upped the number of stacked images to 20 and that seems to have decreased the noise dramatically although I used a lot of wavelet sharpening on this.
