The classic way

Ever thought about the old classic painters ?? And ever tempted to use the “oil filter” in Photoshop ?? Do not do that. Use some layers instead and the make the Glow effect work for you. It is easier you may think. Give it a try and your normal pictures may get that “boom, boom” effect as well.

Olympus E-M1 again

Another day in Tuscany

After the incredible experience with Olympus in Zingst, I needed a contrast of emotions. So we went to Tuscany, Italy, more precisely to Reggello Sant’Agata, region Florence. We rented a room from “I Bonsi” :) Well, that was a real surprise. An estate of a special kind. Our small room had about 65 square meters size, located on two levels and located in a tower of the building. In the middle of nowhere, no traffic, no noise, pure nature, some peacocks running around freely, visiting us from time to time :)In the evening it was pitchblack, no light, just BLACK at night. And yet the next delicious pizzeria was only 10 minutes by car. Who dares at night only with car light corridors to cut into the darkness, to drive on narrow winding roads :)

An enormous place, with about 140,000 olive trees

Another visit

She, my sexy neighbor Mrs. Robinson, asked me to join her for another excursion into the darkness of her ancient cellar. I agreed in a second and took a strong torch with me. I entered her house and we both went into the dark. We could see, that this cellar was indeed ancient. It was more cave cut out of the stone and the house built upon. Several caves and dark holes in the walls, not easy to look even with the strong torch. We needed more light. We i turned to her, the light went across the rough wall and in the light we found another painting:

WOW, her relative must have been a beauty and a sexy one as well, knowing how to play with man. It looks like she sat here in the cellar in the corner for her artist :) nude, smiling at him. Poor boy. Having such tempting girl for hour just in front of him. But we do not know the story. We just have this paintings on the wall. We went upstairs and had a cup of tea. Still waiting for the experts from the local Gallery.
