Gables of Wetzlar

I have take this shot on every trip to Wetzlar over the past 7 years, and this is the first one that has worked. I love the shapes of the contrasting jumbled gables, and all the various textures of the building materials.

Perhaps what makes it work is this is my first trip with the H50 with its long zoom. 150mm puts the skyline in correct perspective and crops it effectively without losing detail in the textures.

Sony DSC H50 at about 150mm equivalent. F4.0 @ 1/160th @ ISO 100. Programmed auto.

Some Recovery in Lightroom for the sky. Added Clarity and Vibrance (not much Vibrance). Sharpen Landscapes preset.

From Germany 2009.
