“Glow” is the theme of the WPC Weekly Photo Challenge this week. So let it glow! My title photo is from an old brewery in Bayreuth, Germany. There are not many surfaces that glow like red brick. The image was taken with my Olympus PEN-F with the mZuiko 17mm F/1.8. Image specs 1/640 sec @ f/f5,6 and ISO 200.
For a small collection of glowing street-, landscape- and travel-photos I invite you to look after the jump….
I made it safely to Chicago. Overnight I downloaded the new releases of Lightroom Classic CC, Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC 2018. During tonights 4.5h flight to Portland I will give to a try.
Have a good Thursday!
Marcus

I love this post! There is nothing more mesmerizing than the play of light and colors.
Thank you, Carmen, this is so much appreciated! Marcus
I do love glowing bricks. They are all stunning Marcus. Great take, as usual, on the challenge. 🙂
Thanks a lot, Amy, your feedback always means so much to me! Marcus
Gorgeous and those trees are definitely on my bucket list.
I keep my fingers crossed you make it to Southern Africa to see them!
Thank you 😉
Lovely pictures you have here Marcus. I especially love the pics of the trees in Namibia 🙂
Thank you so much 🙂 ! Have a great weekend! Marcus
My favorites are last two pictures- sunset on the beach and the one with a bridge.
I don’t use any editing software like LR or PS. Happy with basic editing like cropping and contrast correction.
May be some day!!
Thanks, Arv, glad you like them. Postprocessing is as much fun as shooting!
I can understand! Brings out your inner artist, I guess? 🙂
Absolutely, my creative playground 🙂

Using On1 software allows you to add ‘glow’ in post. Can’t help but think it is cheating a little (and I am sure it can be done in LR/PS).
Yes, you can certainly use Lightroom to increase saturation and add “punch”. Even if I would have done it, I wouldn’t consider it cheating. I work with RAW files that need to be “developed” as they luck any in camera treatment every jpg gets. But hey, the old masters also had all liberty to work with their analogue negative films. Photography is an expressive art, not a science. Have a great weekend! Marcus
Well done Marcus for bringing some sunshine to my laptop, wonderful captures 🙂 Lynne
Thanks, Lynne, love your comment! I can send some real time Chicago sunshine as well. I’m afraid after landing in Portland later tonight it will be all rain throughout the weekend….Marcus
I lived and worked next to The Queen! Fabulous pics!
Wow, Kristin, that’s amazing. That’s such a nice area! Thanks for the comment 🙂 ! Marcus
As always gorgeous photos Marcus. Have just got my Lumix camera back today after having a new screen fitted as it had developed vertical lines on it obscuring the view! Thankfully it was still under warranty and only away a week, so I’m back in action now! Have a great weekend. Marion
Great you could have it fixed! Better to invest in travel than new gear! Have a great weekend yourself! Marcus
love the bricks
Thanks, Jules, highly appreciated! Marcus
Du kommst vielleicht rum!!! Kein Wunder das Du eine solche Sammlung bieten kannst. Tolle Farben, tolle Szenen! Namibia und seine Bäume sind mein Favorit! HErrliche Aufnahme! Aber auch der ganze Rest, TOP!
Danke 🙂 ! Dieses Jahr ist es schon extrem! Aber ich bin dem Leben auch ganz dankbar dafür, die Chance zu haben, etwas vom unserem Planeten zu sehen 🙂 ! Marcus
Das glaub ich Dir…
Absolutely stunning photos
Thanks, Miriam, so much appreciated! Marcus
