Great set. Looks like an interesting and fun visit.
My trip was amazing. More than I ever could wish for. Thank you.
Thank you Richard. I love the small towns and villages.
While visiting my son while he was on assignment, I was lucky when I met a couple in his village in Germany that befriended me. They took me to the Alsace region in SW France, just a few hours from Niedermohr, where my son lived in SE Germany for 4 years. These are from Colmar, a beautiful town of mostly half timbered buildings some dating dating back almost 800 years. There is a huge "Statue of Liberty" in the roundabout entering the city - homage to Bartholdi, a native who designed our Lady Liberty. I loved the whole region and know how fortunate I was to be able to stay for 6 weeks with my family and have this wonderful couple as my personal guides.

Love Queen Ann’s Lace. Will try this with some similar shots. Thanks!

If you're shooting nothing but controlled studio lighting then that may work. If you're using daylight, that's pretty hard to control. Here's a sunrise scene that had very intense light pouring into the valley. Think either of the two initial exposures accurately represented what I saw, or does the processed version come closer?

It’s my hobby, it's fun, I am constantly learning and I control the results. Photography has given me joy. Like my little niece says “Don’t yuk my yum!”.
