Waiting (3).

It's 3D Saturday for me but I've decided to end up with (somewhat) last shot in 2025 (so far), which was done on December 17th. I don't have any new 3D shots anyway!
It wasn't a stroll, but rather an idea for a long exposure that I've been thinking of for a while. As soon as I got ready to leave the house to the playground around the corner, it started to rain. However, I've decided to continue, putting the camera under my jacket to protect it from the rain, while other stuff in a plastic bag.
The idea was to do a long exposure for this playground leaving the breeze or wind to shake the swings. Strangely, it was raining, but not much wind or breeze going on. The shade was also leaking here and there and I was afraid water would come down on the camera. It was all before 5 a.m. already and too dark for my eyes to discern details. Unfortunately, I've wasted a lot of time trying to figure out a way to block the flare from a light on the far left. Finally, I couldn't find a way to block it properly except to stand there. The exposure was about 9 minutes.
Finishing the first exposure, I've turned the camera away to the right, in hope that I would catch something interesting (like effects of the hammering rain), again for 9 minutes. Originally, the plan was actually for 2 separate shots, but then decided to merge them in a panorama of 2 images since there was a proper overlap between the two shots. With all of that, there was a considerable struggle to counteract the effect of the flare or blown out highlight on the far left. I regret though not including all of the seesaw on the far right - but that would have required another 9 minutes exposure with a third shot.

Langschatten-Lauf an der grünen Grenze zu den Niederlanden.

Auf dem letzten Bild kann man sogar einen Grenzstein erkennen.

Die letzten Strahlen
der Abendsonne
genossen.
Das Gesicht in Licht
innen wärmt Tee.
Ein Moment nur Vögel
Wind und Ich

Waiting.

Not quite sure why I shot this actually, but the atmosphere was inviting for such "out of people, out of nowhere" kinda shots; liminal, maybe? Few days afterward, I'll be visiting this place again for another experience.
This playground is in front of the grocery store (yesterday's post). It definitely had seen better days. One thing about the light here is that the colors here almost match the real one. This stroll was done using a modified camera for full spectrum photography, and using Sigma 12-24mm lens with no filter on it. The sky is seen here bluish (and sure, I did some color corrections after all), but in reality it was purple and dark; the type of sky that I loved to watch when I was a kid at the old house where I grew up. Not sure why I liked it, and still don't know, but I used to stay up all night, just to see that transition, from dark to light, and here I am, living my childhood again, for 5 minutes of time.
