Being in Ehrenfeld

Met colleague WARTH in Cologne. He has seen (and photographed) every corner in Cologne. Not every, I thought and went out to find a different place. Had to walk through dumps and mud, had to climb fences...but here we go :-))
This photo is especially for warth and here how it was done: Canon 5D Mark 2, five shots in raw, pre-work in Lightroom, before sent to photomatix programme for HDR, finally Nik Efex Pro b/w programme as photoshop cs 5 plug-in...and ready :-)
(Im not listing the screaming railway worker, the dog who tried to bite me and the drunkard who asked for 1 euro for which he would put his head on the rail :-))
Best wishes
Dirk

Is that really all you did to take this picture? How disappointing.... I don't recognize you, Dirk....:))
I expected swimming across the English Channel,
parachuting or at least bungee jumping:)
Anyway... even with not so long and arduous efforts, you achieved a mysterious and pretty frightening ambience. ..:) Really great.Congratultions. Bw, Viola
Ps. Needless to say, i admire not only your photographic talents but your courage as well.:)

:-)) It seems you dared a lot for this picture...

But it was all worth your while, because this is really one of the best works I've seen from you. Fantastic editing, creating a very well working mood. Very well done Dirk!

here's my first association: a picture taken in the darkest hour of the night by a grateful alien who'd just gotten out of his spaceship safely after having completed his the tricky feat of docking on safely to köln-ehrenfeld (ALF*). i really like the strange and suspensful "moonlit" atmosphere of this picture (and i do like it, when "hdr" really and literally "makes sense"! ; ))) – in this case, there's clearly some kind of expectation in the air! my favorite detail, though: the graffitied ace of hearts on the wall! greetings, sabine. p.s.: 1 € for a head on the tracks sounds like a real bargain – would have made a great splatter picture… ; ))))))

Creepy and shocking what you did again,
as well as the story and the picture.
Still: Great "work".
Cheers - A.
PS:
I would've put a nice pink or green frame with flowers on it around that picture, to make it more friendly ;o)
(you know, what I mean).

Thank you

A sad sight, but one of many all over the world - reality behind the "pretty" sights .... and one should see it.
Your image is excellent - monochrome fits well!!
greetings, Adele

Na da ist jede Menge Arbeit, Zeit und Geld reingegangen. Aber es hat sich gelohnt. Sieht herrlich utopisch and spacy aus!

mal wieder ganz große Klasse...

Quasi bei mir um die Ecke...
Endzeitlich wirkt das...mindestens sehr heruntergekommen die ehemals stolze 'DB'...
Ja, Hunde und Bahnarbeiter...das kann in die Hose gehen :-)
Heftig und sehr klasse!

Du hast den wahrscheinlich exklusivsten Ort in Köln gefunden, der einer so sorgfältigen Bearbeitung der Belichtungen würdig ist ...

GENIAL!
