Bathed In Light
Waaaaaay better on black
Taken in July - it was foggy for 3 days on the beaches of the Cape.
Almost SOOC - I only adjusted the levels a bit, as i forgot to dial in an exposure compensation - should be at +2/3 to +1EV when shooting in such foggy conditions to get real white and not only gray. I wasn't sure if i should brighten up the bottom of the photo too, but I decided that the gradient from pure white to a bright gray gives the photo more depth.

White Tower II
Texture by Skeletal Mess - thanks!
I used a shot from the same walk as for the previous upload, but i processed it 'a bit' more, most noticeably adding a texture.

The White Tower
As i mentioned, i moved recently and this is where i live now... Well, actually not in that palace, but only 5 minutes away from the park.
Technique/Processing
Basically: Getting up early on a sunday morning... ;-)
Of course there was also some processing involved, but the light is real...
I blended the sky and the lower part manually from two different exposures and then processed it using the usual filters.
Info
Bad Homburg vor der Höhe is the district town of the Hochtaunuskreis, Hesse, Germany, on the southern slope of the Taunus, bordering among others Frankfurt am Main and Oberursel. The town's formal name is Bad Homburg vor der Höhe (translated as "Bad Homburg at the foot of the hills (= Taunus)", to distinguish it from other places of the same name), abbreviated as Bad Homburg v. d. Höhe.
Elevation: 130 to 250 m in the town (128 to 683 m in the whole area); Position: 50° 13’ 45” N, 8° 36’ 43” E; Population: 52000.
The town is best known for its medically used mineral waters and spa (hence the prefix Bad, "bath"), and for its casino.
Today, Bad Homburg is again one of the wealthiest towns in Germany, in part thanks to its vicinity near Frankfurt, as many of the directors and employees of the Frankfurt banks live in Bad Homburg. (The Hochtaunuskreis and the Landkreis Starnberg regularly compete for the "title" of the wealthiest district in Germany.)
As of 2004, the town's marketing slogan was: Champagnerluft und Tradition (Champagne air and tradition).
