A Long Ride

            
 #siderssunday

Well, it's not the longest possible ride (or walk) because this is the shorter part of the three-part collonades that surround the so-called Kollonadenhof (Collonade Courtyard) that is a part of Berlin's Museumsinsel building complex, a UNESCO Heritage site, at Berlin's historical center. 

The title is inspired by the bike, of course, and if you look closely, you can also see a person disappearing between the columns. This is a well-frequented, photogenic spot (right behind the Berlin Cathedral) in an area replete with photographic subjects, so I had to wait a little until the scene was (almost) clear – except for the person walking out of the scene, of course ;)

The image also lent itself to some sliding. When we arrived there, the blue hour was just setting in and lights in the collonades were on but I didn't like the yellowish hue. Since I was also torn between colour and monochrome, I processed both in Photoshop (in NIK's respective tools Color and Silver Efex), and then layered the colour version with the black and white version which helped reduce the unpleasant yellow tone and brought in some nice pinkish notes. Mere HSL sliding didn't achieve this but just added a "paleness" to the image that I didn't like too much.

HSS, Everyone, and have a nice new week ahead!
