Berlin wallpapers II

After the post Berlin wallpapers from 2011, here the second batch of assorted photos from Berlin.

Wallpapers of Berlin morning mist

Fernsehturm Berlin offers a great view over the city. I was up there in the morning on a sunny day. A milky mist had not yet vanished, covering everything in a blurry aura. Enjoy!

Almost black desktop wallpapers

Photographed in Berlin’s Museum of Technology.

Trying out stuff with my new ultra-wide angle lense in a nice setting. Post-processing with GIMP. Recipe (roughly): Cropped, Resized, Layer duplicated; Top layer: Gaussian Blur (15px), Levels, Transparency; Bottom layer: Unsharp mask (radius 1, strength 0.5), Levels.

Schaustelle Pinakothek der Moderne

From April to October 2013, Pinakothek der Moderne had to close for renovation. During that time, a temporary exhibition space called Schaustelle was erected. Here is my take on the construction:

Crystal wallpapers

Some old and new photos of crystals, taken at the Museum of Man and Nature and Museum Reich der Kristalle, both located in Munich.

Pinakothek der Moderne 2/2

Part 2 of my visit to Pinakothek der Moderne (Part 1). Again an exercise in high-key photography, applied to my favourite aspects of the building: its staircase and the glass roof.

Pinakothek der Moderne 1/2

After being closed for several months of renovation – strange for an almost new building – the Pinakothek der Moderne is open again and still has its Sunday admission of 1€. Reason enough to revisit my favourite spot for high-key photography. The following pictures are almost unedited, cropped photos taken with ~~light~~strong overexposure. Like usual, they have 1920×1080 (aka 1080p or FullHD) resolution. Enjoy!
