Golden Chopsticks (2011).

I miss this place so much. It closed down in 2014, and I might as well say that it was the beginning of my isolation trip, sorta. In this place I used to meet friends and stay up late and even chitchat with the owner till it's over midnight sometimes after the closing time. When friends disappeared one by one as they went on with their lives, I used to come here alone just to have some peace time away from a place that ironically I call "home". After it closed down, I literally had no place to be, to find peace in, except of my room.
I think as we age, much of what we like around us just disappears gradually, and an old dog can't learn new tricks, nor adapt.

Letztes Wochenende startete im #Torhaus #Dortmund #Rombergpark die #Ausstellung von #AgnesZimmermann: 'Ich sehe was, was du nicht siehst'. Sehr sehenswert in 'echt' für alle die es nach Dortmund schaffen. Für alle Anderen habe ich gestern die virtuelle Version der Ausstellung zusammen gestöpselt:

UV Pano Test (2016).

Almost got this day as a vacation but decided to post something just now. Woke up so late today and been busy doing chores around the house. Anyway, I don't have much to post, nothing new. So, decided to go back to this one (again), and this time I think this one was done with Mercator projection.
I like it, but back then I didn't because I was looking into the technical aspects of the shoot rather than the aesthetics. When I realized that I've been actually shooting IR more than UV because of the leakage in the filter, I lost my interest in it. I've shot some IR panoramas with various IR filters, but yet I have to see a way to shoot a true UV pano.

Spider (2016).

So, I've posted a circularium yesterday for this panorama, which was a UV test back in 2016 (when I first got that UV filter). This is one of the early versions of that panorama. Probably I didn't publish that much on other platforms.

Circularium Ultraviolacea (2016).

Aaaaaand the last circularium! This one was actually a test. The panorama was shot with then-new B+W 049 UV-Pass filter (hope I got the name right, sometimes it's also called "black filter"). Back then, I just had a modified camera for full spectrum photography and didn't know much about UV photography. As time went by, I've realized that I've been shooting mostly infrared actually and not pure UV as such filters leak a lot of IR by nature of design. Professional UV filters are way, way, more expensive. The solution to this problem was to get an IR-block filter and place it on top of the UV-pass filter but that wouldn't happen til some years afterward (and it was also a story on its own).
This panorama was also a test for this lens, Voigtländer 20mm, for panorama shooting. My typical lens for panoramas is 15mm as it provides the adequate amount of perspective and number of shots. Working with 20mm proved to be difficult and requires a staggering amount of shots for a single panorama, and this is even without shooting for HDR.

Circularium Genii 2 (2019)

I couldn't resist the temptation to make a glow for this one as well. I tried also to add a 3D-ish effect, but I don't think I made it right still.
Notice that the background is transparent (so if the page is displayed in white, the glow might be barely visible).

Circularium Genii (2019)

I guess another one that I should've added a glow to. I've posted the regular panorama for this one before, for sure, but in this format it can be a bit challenging to discern some details; like there are 4 of me and not one!
This panorama was shot with my modified camera (for full spectrum photography) but without placing any filter on the lens, while the room was lit solely by candles (and a little beam of light coming from the door). In this version of the panorama, and for some reason, I was somewhat forced to make it lighter rather than the original dark tones; the probably the distortion plays a role in hiding some specific details; not sure.
I've centered the panorama around the AC vent as I couldn't find a more balanced point in this panorama.

Circularium Quadrata 2 (2015);

As I've inspired (or promised) yesterday, I've envisioned this one with a glow, so I did it! In addition to the glow, I've added some few touches here and there trying to mimic a 3D look.
