“Blaaaa”, Pritzerbe, Germanyreflection

Before head­ing off to Ger­many for a week (I’m going to Elgers­burg, near Ilmenau), let me post an image that I took last year, also in Ger­many.

A bunch of friends from uni got together and we went on a small canoe tour on the river Havel, pho­tos here. While ready­ing our canoe on the pon­toon where we left, I notice this super old ship just rust­ing and pretty much dying away, a great photo oppor­tun­ity.

The shot presen­ted here is a detail in the ship’s hull plank­ing. Hav­ing cropped it a bit, I gave Matt Kloskowski’s cross-​processing Light­Room pre­set a got, and I think it works great. This was inspired by an epis­ode of the lovely Pho­towalk­through pod­cast, in which John Arnold showed a cross pro­cessing tech­nique for Pho­toshop, apply­ing it to a sim­ilar “naut­ical detail”.

Fun­nily enough, the hose com­ing out of the hole now almost looks like a tongue stuck out of it, hence the title ;-)
