I know the place, I remember, It reminded me a little of Marienbruecke view, though. That was special.

hahaha oh yes, definitely - so many tourists. What surprised me the most, though, were women with small children on the bridge. My mother would have had a fit.

Thanks again
Blue and white have been the only available colours that day. Tried to split
the picture in 2 sections. Unfortunatelly sky was just plain blue without any clouds.
Would´ve been too much negative space to show more sky here.

Germany has a bunch of castles around. I don´t even know how much.
This one is for sure the most popular one.
And it´s true that Disneys is based on this one. But with more "eyecandy"
and artificial.
Thanks for liking the real one

We were already almost in the whole Europe exept Germany UK and some smaller countries like Switzerland Malta and NEVER have been in Disneyland and we aren't going to visit it. It is always better to see and something real than plastic american culture. For me in this picture clouds not so important much more interesting color balance and whole composition. You could try to add clouds in photoshop but I don't think that photo will be much better from this

You´re lucky. Lack of time doesn´t alow me more long-time trips.
Switzerland is always worth a visit. And maybe Ireland...

Disneyland It would be worth to visit just for what it is, but
not my kind of place to visit at all.

Thanks about composition. I don´t own Photoshop. Just use
simple Corel PaintShop Pro. Fits my requirements of cutting
and slight retouching. And it costs one-tenth of PS

Yeah travels and photography are my favorites I see You also have possibility to travel a bit (at least it can say looking to Your photos ) I don't like photoshop and usually use program for correcting raw from Canon which cost nothing. But I have friend who spend until 5-7 hours working in Photoshop almost each his photo. I prefer to get as much good quality picture as possible right in the camera. This was reason why I have bought 5D mark 2. It is incredibly good camera for any use (may due to not so good focus system it is not so easy for sport and reportage) but for the arhitecture, landscape and portrait photgraphy it is just perfect.

Yes, I can travel around here if it´s reachable by car and doesn´t take
longer than 1 or 2 days. Luckily Bavaria is not that big and offers a wide
range of beautiful places

Yes, too much post procession is annoying for me now. As I started with
photography 2 years ago I used every avaliable program to process
pics like hell. Just by the reason of lack of knowledge.
If pics out of camera sucks, postproduction won´t fix that.

5D is famous

Exactly! Postproduction can't help geal neither composition neither dead places which some people getting trough under or over exposing. Of course it is possible to change a bit colors e.t.c. but it is not vital for impression actually. For me it is better to spent much time on studying theory and understanding first of all how to make a stunnig pictures right in the camera. Of course place can help but should be a vision and practice of course.

True words!
Slightly adjusting is everywhere. Almost no pic is unedited nowadays.
But everybody for its own taste
Theory is my enemy, but speaking about photography its needed.
At least to understand the rudiments.
I work by "learning-by-doing" and have a good mentor in photography as well

You are happy man as if You have a good mentor. Usually pro photographer don't like to teach photographer not the same level. learning-by-doing absolutely right way but theory also need to understand. I like site of ken rockwell for that. He is the best clear not so boring ant exact what nescesary in real life.

Vielen Dank
Es ist eigentlich ein Muss, Neuschwanstein zu besuchen
Und dieser Blickwinkel zum Schloß wird wohl auch von jedem Besucher fotografiert.
Ist das erste was man sieht, wenn man in Hohenschwangau ankommt
