For a better photo browsing experience, I recomend everybody using the new Firefox 3 to enable color management. And here’s how to do it:

- type ‘about:config’ into the adress bar
- filter for gfx.color
- change ‘gfx.color_management.enabled’ to true (just double click on the entry)
- restart Firefox

Enjoy viewing pictures now with there real colors. Don’t forget to calibrate your monitor!

There’s a landscape north of Dresden, where coal mining is the formative element. At the Findlingspark Nochten they’re trying to rebuilt some natural environment. But the eyecatcher for the photographer is still the big coal power plant nearby.
I did not use any filter for this exposure. The fancy polarizer effect is completely built up in Lightroom.

Yes, I’ve broken my beloved 1000x neutral filter for ultra long time exposures. Right in the middle of the Markus square in Venice I dropped it down to the 1000 years old marble ground.

All hints to a dealer of theses ND3 filters with 72mm diameter and slim shape are welcome.

Edit: got a new one, B+W this time. Maybe soon there will be a “Welcome ND3.0″.

We spent a weekend in the Erzgebirge mountains near Dresden. Usually this is a nice skiing area in winter, but this year, there’s no snow at all. So we visited the small village of Seiffen instead, where they have a nice traditional museum with farmers and miners cottages from the last century. I spent most of the time taking photos of the old equipment.

Without many words, something abstract. This and some more new pics can be found in aXels piX.
