Image 9 was taken with 1st curain flash, i.e. the flash fired immediately after the shutter had opened. That gives the impression the police vehicle is moving backwards. It would have been better to use 2nd curtain flash, i.e. the flash should have fired just before the shutter closes. Actually, I was eperimenting with both types of flash synchronisation. The police vehicle happened to pass while the camera was set to 1st curtain.
Note that the flash illuminates the reflective motorway signs at great distance.

Image 13: The blue sky of the original photograph was overexposed, resulting in banding, i.e. a non-smooth color gradient. Therefore, the sky, including protruding branches, was replaced by a photograph of a sky taken later at a different location.

Image 15: The exterior lights of the Klimahaus were switched on too late when the sky was nearly black. Therefore, two photographs were taken: a first one when the sky was still blue (exif data above) and, 10 minutes later, a second one when the lights were on. The lights were then cut out of the second photograph and pasted onto the first one. Read more on how this photograph was made on page The making of a night photograph.

Image 16 was laterally reversed for reasons of composition.

Image 15: This is not an arranged scene. While I was standing at the street corner with tripod and camera, ready to take a shot, a taxi came by and halted for red. The driver saw that I was about to take a photo and drove back a few meters for not obstructing my view. But he did not realize that I was using an ultra wide-angle lens, the taxi was still within the field of view of my camera. At that point, I pressed the shutter release button.

Image 3 is a montage of a twilight photograph of the tower (exif data above) and a composite image of the night sky (details on Night sky - Exif data Image 8).

Image 8 was laterally reversed for reasons of composition.

Image 19: The illumination of the church spire in the upper left corner was turned on too late. Therefore, two photographs were taken, one when the balance between the blue sky and the artificial lights was best (exif data above), and, 7 minutes later, a second one (speed 1/2 s, same aperture) when the spire was illuminated. The upper left corner of the second photograph was then blended (in lighten only mode) with the first one.

Image 1: The Color Fantasy was approx. 2500 m away and sailing 20 knots, the same speed we were sailing. The speed of the ships relative to each other was thus 40 knots, i.e. 21 m/s. Exposure time was 1/15 s, resulting in a horizontal displacement of 1.4 m. Too much for a clear picture, therefore I compensated for the movement by turning the azimuth knob of my tripod head during exposure.
The original 4256 x 2832 pixel image was cropped to 3000 x 2000 px (and scaled down to 1500 x 1000 px), extending the focal length to 284 mm.

Image 4: Camera handheld (lens equipped with vibration reduction system)

Image 6: To intensify the reflections on the water, the photograph was blended (in lighten only mode) with a second one, taken 2 minutes later.

Image 16: The yellowish skyglow is caused by city lights and fog.

Image 2: Eight minutes after the photograph was taken, a train was crossing the Weser River on the railway bridge in the background. A second photo was taken at that moment, the train was cut out and pasted onto the first photograph.

Image 3 is composed of 2 photographs. The first one was taken while the car with headlights on was approaching, the second one was taken 1 minute later after the luminous ROLAND MEHL had been switched on.

Image 5: The sculpture was illuminated by a portable LED panel.

Image 7: Behind the left end of Dokk1 was another building. One could hardly distinguish between the two structures and it was difficult to perceive the polygonal shape of the overhanging top floor of Dokk1. I removed the background building and replaced it by an extension of the blue sky.

Image 13: The scenery was illuminated by white, red and blue luminous advertisings on a building to the right, that’s why the paving of the parking ground is partially violet. The gray patches in between are from the LED street lights.
The celestial object is Jupiter.

Image 15: The locomotive was illuminated by a portable LED panel.
