Schiller - a photo on Flickriver

Schiller

             #sliderssunday

More from the just re-opened Gendarmenmarkt. This time an (almost) SOOC view of the Konzerthaus/Schauspielhaus building at the center of the place. The statue shows one of Germany's most important poets and writers: Friedrich Schiller. The four banners in the background proudly promote the re-opening. The slogans, from left to right, are: "Finally free again Our most beautiful place", "It only took a few Four Seasons" (the "Four Seasons" part refers to Vivaldis "Le quattro stagioni"),  "With trumpets and drums & energy-efficient redevelopment", and "Now you can listen with your eyes again". As you can see from the roof, the renovation work hasn't been completed, yet.

Almost SOOC means that in addition to Raw format I had used the "Soft Sepia Art Filter" and, afterwards, tweaked it in Color Efex. The last time I dabbled with in-camera Art Filters was in 2011 with my very first MFT camera, the tiny Pen E-PL3 (it still exists!). I also (re-)added fine grain in LR.

HSS!
